On Wednesday, Leo XIV received a white horse as a gift. Proton, a purebred Arabian, was given to the Pope by Andrzej Michalski, owner and founder of the Michalski Stud Farm, in Kołobrzeg-Budzistowo, Poland.

"PROTON" = The Greek word "πρῶτον" (prōton), from which the English term "proton" is derived (though in modern physics it refers to a subatomic particle, unrelated to biblical usage), is an adverb in ancient Greek. It originates as the neuter form of the adjective "πρῶτος" (prōtos), meaning "first" or "foremost." In the original Greek text of the New Testament, "prōton" appears 58 times and consistently emphasizes priority, whether in terms of time (e.g., sequence of events), order (e.g., rank or succession), or importance (e.g., what is chief or primary).
This aligns with classical Greek usage but is applied in biblical contexts to highlight divine priorities, moral imperatives, or eschatological sequences.Core Meanings in the New TestamentBased on lexical analyses from sources like Strong's Concordance and the NAS Exhaustive Concordance:Primary, first, or chief: It denotes what holds the highest rank or importance. For instance, in 1 Corinthians 15:3, Paul describes the gospel message (Christ's death, burial, and resurrection) as being "of first importance" (prōton), underscoring its foundational role in Christian doctrine.
At the beginning or before: It indicates an initial step, precedence, or temporal priority. Examples include instructions to act "first" in a process, such as self-examination before judging others (Matthew 7:5: "first cast out the beam out of thine own eye") or familial duties (1 Timothy 5:4: family members should "first" learn to show piety at home).
In order or sequence: It marks priority in lists, events, or hierarchies, like mission strategy (Romans 1:16: the gospel is "first" to the Jew, then to the Greek) or church roles (1 Corinthians 12:28: God has appointed "first" apostles, then prophets).
These meanings are not rigid but overlap depending on context, always stressing what should come before other things to maintain divine order.

Key Biblical ExamplesYour query highlights several accurate usages, which are confirmed in the Greek text:Matthew 6:33: "But seek ye first (prōton) the kingdom of God, and his righteousness..." – Here, it emphasizes prioritizing spiritual pursuits over material worries.
1 Thessalonians 4:16: "...and the dead in Christ shall rise first (prōton)" – This describes the sequence in the resurrection at Christ's return, with the deceased believers preceding the living.
1 Corinthians 15:3: As noted, "prōton" conveys "first importance," framing the core events of Christ's work as paramount.

Additional prominent examples from the New Testament include:Mark 7:27: Jesus tells the Syrophoenician woman, "Let the children first (prōton) be filled," indicating Israel's temporary priority in his ministry before extending to Gentiles.
Acts 3:26: Peter says God raised Jesus to bless Israel "first (prōton)," again showing missional order.
James 3:17: Wisdom from above is "first (prōton) pure, then peaceable," listing moral qualities in order of priority.
Distribution Across the New Testament"Prōton" is most frequent in the Gospels (e.g., 9 times in Matthew, 7 in Mark, 8 in Luke) and Paul's letters (e.g., 6 in Romans, 4 in 1 Corinthians).
It appears less in other books like Acts (5 times), Hebrews (1 time), and 2 Peter (1 time).

There are so many who have NOT been broken yet. There is NO way to even build up the muscles until they are torn down in order to start building them back. I have so much empathy and actually feel pain for so many that I care about to find them going back to their old ways, saying one thing and doing another when it comes to service. I feel for those who have to be broken in order for God to use them. They think they are doing such a fine job & some may be, just hate to see what I see knowing they haven't been broken yet, which has to happen. This is also a major hurdle for most Christians to comprehend. It will happen to everyone, know one gets a pass, not one can escape what is about to happen. Keep on doing what you are doing, and not be willing to change. It will hurt so, so bad that you will NOT be able to help anyone & fully give your heart to service for the least in the Kingdom until this occurs...That's why it will be a NDE Near Death Experience for everyone on Planet Earth. Don't believe me, READ the Scriptures. It's like everyone should kinda think of the FAFO & stop worrying about what language has offended you & listen to the urgency of the times. Jesus warned us!

"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come."
Luke 22:14-30
"And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me."
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." The cup holds the BLOOD; it is the COVANANT PROMISE IN THE NEW TESTIMATE. There is NO other PROMISE in the New Covanant made by our Savio more paramount than His ressuraction, eternal life & his promise to return to take HIS Bride (The Body of Christ - Church Members) as promised for Salvation & enternal life & his return to take us to the NEW Kingdom The Father has prepared for us! This is the 1K year reign prior to the Great White Throne Judgement! Where God in Heaven reigns when the NEW JERUSALEM is unfolded unto the KINGDOM for all eternity!
