CNTTS apparatus in Bibleworks 9: two [bracketed] v.4
variants count, due to a) many witnesses, b) cadence fit, and c) style: var. unit #7's eleos,
and unit #17's kuriou.
Many mss omit kai fronting eirene; omission doesn't alter count, since krasis is
assumed. The other variants aren't worth
mention.

Paul writes in 4172, ad 66= the Lord's shoulda-been
age, summer. Paul writes at or near the end of the vernal year:
o
119/2 = 59.5 years after Judaea became
a Roman province; when Paul
writes, Nero has just ordered Vespasian to assemble legions and march to Rome,
so to put down the new rebellion against Florus in Jerusalem. Or, perhaps the rebellion didn't start yet,
and Paul writes prophetically: for the rebellion occurs, in summer ad 66
(I
think it was summer, will have to go look it up.)
o
119/2
years before year 4232 (covered
in Zecharias' prophecy, but I have to look up he said);
o
119
years after 53 bc, when Crassus sacked the Temple
in Jerusalem. This resonates, as
Paul had already benchmarked Temple Fall for ad 70 in Ephesians, and of course
the new rebellion which will fulfill that Ephesians metered prophecy, is just
beginning. So past is prologue.
o
119
years before 4291(I
gotta look it up), and
o
133/2
= 66.5 years after The Lord
shoulda been born (equidistantly
converting TO vernal)
o
133/2
years before 4238.5 (I
gotta look it up)
o
133
years after 67 bc , when (the usurper Maccabean
line resulting in) Hyrcanus II comes to
power; so usurpation II is in the offing due to the new rebellion
against Rome, get the pun? And
o
133
years before 4305 (I gotta look it up)
o
119 means trouble, 133
means Temple Going Down Due To Apostasy,
and 147 means Triple Diaspora (same meter Paul used in Galatians) = 49 x 3. So Paul doesn't meter, until the
end; when he does, the trebled meters
are negative and dramatic. Setting up,
the letter's content: which warns about false teachers, and how to spot and
appoint, the right ones. For Titus is
Paul's missionary COO. The translation
of this epistle is AWFUL. Will later do
videos correcting some of the most misleading verses. (Hint hint where the
translation says 'good deeds', the Greek says God Deeds via anarthrous nouns,
just as James had done; so the Greek
meaning is the opposite of the English.
Which helps you see why Paul prophetically warns against false
teachers: for they mistranslate Bible for centuries, even today not fixing the
errors – despite all our modern technology, translations remain BAD?? Sorry, no excuse!)
