PETER
1Peter in the Trib.
2Pet 3:15-16
15And account that the longsuffering of our
Lord is salvation; even as our beloved
brother Paul also according to the wisdom
given unto him hath written unto you;
16As also in all his epistles, speaking in
them of these things; in which are some
things hard to be understood, which they
that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as
they do also the other scriptures, unto their
own destruction.
Rom 2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of
his goodness and forbearance and
longsuffering; not knowing that the

that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless.

18) Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat
the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth on his
master shall be honoured.
Luke 13:6-9
6) He spake also this parable; A certain man
had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and
he came and sought fruit thereon, and
found none.
7) Then said he unto the dresser of his
vineyard, Behold, these three years I come
seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none:
cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

3. 8) And he answering said unto him, Lord,
let it alone this year also, till I shall dig
about it, and dung it:
9) And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then
after that thou shalt cut it down.

4. 1Pet 1:1
1) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the

Jews Strangers

strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath
quite devoured also our money.

covenant with them, to give them the land

bought with them the potter's field, to bury
strangers in.

6. The "strangers" are probably not
pagans,
but foreign Jews and Gentile proselytes,
who came to Jerusalem to attend the
festival,
and died there.
Others think that foreigners (Greeks and
Romans, etc.) exclusively are meant,
the Jews regarding their very presence
in the holy city as defilement,
and a cemetery purchased by unclean
money a fitting spot for their interment.
The "field" was set apart in the
Crusaders" times as a burial place for
pilgrims,
and to this day contains a house
wherein are deposited the poor and
unhonoured dead of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every
nation under heaven.

of God.

Israel; they shall have inheritance with you
among the tribes of Israel.

shall be dismayed, to the end that every

11. one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by

other side, in the day that the strangers
carried away captive his forces, and
foreigners entered into his gates, and cast
lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one
of them.
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without
Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers
from the covenants of promise, having no
hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens
with the saints, and of the household of

Psalm of David. The heavens declare the
glory of God; and the firmament

uttereth speech, and night unto night
sheweth knowledge. 3 There is no
speech nor language, where their voice
is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out
through all the earth, and their words to
the end of the world. In them hath he
set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is
as a bridegroom coming out of his
chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man
to run a race. 6 His going forth is from
the end of the heaven, and his circuit

28. unto the ends of it: and there is nothing
hid from the heat thereof.
