Continued from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=br8SDXlOVx8 , still on the hermeneutics offered by the meter.  Here, more deeply into the nature of Paul's anaphora, to know why Peter adopts his interleaving technique.

Essentially, Peter adopts the technique as a SINGING REMINDER to the reader, to take Paul's warning seriously.  Turning the interactive text into a marching song, will make it easier to use and remember, teach your kids, etc.

For beneath the syrupy text, is a message of progressive war and degeneration in a) the Roman Empire in general, and b) in Christianity, in particular;  so the Rapture becomes LESS LIKELY with each passing year.  So it's a warning of Christian apostasy, which can ALSO cause the Rapture, but for the wrong reason (Church too apostate to be allowed to keep living on earth).  Paul basically tells you that from Constantine onward (end Eph1:12), Church goes into the toilet, with only a few 'proelpikotas' individuals maturing, no mass growth.

So you used this prophetic calendar even as you did the ones in the OT, to know What Time It Is, and how to orient to that Time, when you are IN it.

Very different meaning, therefore, versus the pablum teaching re both passages, today!

Now, my pastor taught this meaning from text only, not knowing the meter, for maybe 50 years. His main teaching THEME was, how God uses the Believer to BUY TIME, often saying 'as goes the believer (in Church), so goes history.'  Wow.  I asked God for proof IN BIBLE for how this BUYING TIME doctrine, worked.  That was back in 2000, and I've been posting the documentation, ever since (first in the web, now in Youtube as well).  Other pastors call this, 'salt' doctrine, but they know almost nothing about it.

So get my pastor's 1985 Ephesians series, which is 12 whopping years long (if you play an hour every day), at http://www.rbthieme.org .  They don't ask for money, and you can order the free mp3 or DVD at the rate of maybe 30-36 lessons per month (1 per day, don't overdo it).

Download the interleaved (Paul's Eph 1:3-14 with 1Peter1:1-12) song with its metered translation, here:  http://www.brainout.net/PeterMeterSongWithTrans.pdf .  It's only two pages, currently.  Since 1Peter 1:1-12 is metered, the final version will be much longer.

Download Peter's meter  (only the Greek, all of 1Pet1:1-12):  http://www.brainout.net/1Peter1meter.pdf .

To get the most out of this play on Paul, you need to read Paul's meter, replete with university and other websites explaining the relevant historical references:  http://www.brainout.net/Ephesians1REPARSED.doc (if you have Bibleworks fonts; or you can download them for free at http://www.bibleworks.com/fonts.html ).  PDF version:  http://www.brainout.net/Eph1DecreeSyllablesREPARSED.pdf .

You'll also need to watch at least some of the Psalm 90 videos on Daniel 9, which begin here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRz__1NmABs&list=PLFF2856603C945631&index=27 .  It's faster and easier to just download the Daniel document in the video description, then read through it to see his style.  Both Paul and Peter talk back to Daniel 9 VIA its style -- which I call 'tagging' -- as Mary had done, in the Magnificat.
