The Lord Says, You Have Sold Yourselves for Nothing & Shall be Redeemed Without Money |
Isaiah 52:1-15 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
Awake, O Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem,] awake, & put on your strength. Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. [From now on,] the uncircumcised, & the unclean shall no [longer] come into you. [Loosen] yourself from the bands, [a.k.a. shackles,] [around] your neck, O captive daughter of Zion. |
Shake yourself from the dust, [a.k.a. dirt,] & arise, & sit down, O Jerusalem. [Isaiah 10:27 And it shall [happen on] that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, & his yoke from off your neck. And the yoke shall be destroyed, because of the anointing.] |
For the Lord [says this,] You have sold yourselves for [nothing,] & you shall be redeemed without money. For the Lord God, [says this,] My people went down [before this time,] into Egypt to [stay] there; & the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. |
[Exodus 1:10-14 Come on, let us [act] wisely with [the Israelites,] lest they multiply, & it [happens,] that, when any war [falls] out there, they also join our enemies, & fight against us. So, [let's] get them up, out of the land. Therefore, they, [a.k.a. Egyptians, put] task-masters over [the Israelites,] to afflict them with their burdens. And they built treasure cities, Pithom & Rameses for Pharaoh. But the more they afflicted [the Israelites,] the more they multiplied & grew. And [the Egyptians] were grieved, because of the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel. And the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with [rigor;] & they made their lives bitter, with hard bondage, in mortar, brick, & all [types] of service in the field. All their service [which] they made them [do,] was with [rigor.] |
The Lord [says,] Therefore, now, what [do] I have here, that My people [are] taken away for [nothing?] [Those who] rule over them, make them howl, [says] the Lord, & My Name is continually blasphemed every day. [Ezekiel 36:23-25 And I will sanctify My great Name, [that] was profaned among the heathen, which you have [also] profaned in the midst of them. |
And the heathen shall know that I Am the Lord, when I shall be sanctified [through] you before their eyes, [says] the Lord God. For I will take you from among the heathen, & gather you out of all countries, & will bring you into your own land. Then, I will sprinkle clean water upon you, & you shall be clean from all your filthiness, & from all your idols. I will cleanse you.] |
Therefore, My people shall know My Name, & they shall know [on] that day, that I Am He, [Who speaks.] [Philippians 2:5-11 Let [your] [minds within] you, also be [like that] in Christ Jesus, Who [is] in the [image] of God, & thought it not [a crime] to be equal with God. But made Himself of no reputation, [a.k.a. without status,] & was made in the likeness of men, & took upon [Himself] the [image] of a servant. And being found in [the image like] a man, He humbled Himself, & became obedient [until] death, even the death [on] the cross. *[For this reason,] God [has] also highly exalted Him, & [has] given Him a Name [that] is above every Name. That every knee should bow at the Name of Jesus, of things in heaven, & things [on] earth, & things under the earth. *And [so] that every tongue, [a.k.a. language,] should confess to the glory of God the Father, that Jesus Christ Is Lord.] |
[See,] it is I. How beautiful are the feet of him, [who] brings good [news] on the mountains, & [declares] peace. [Who] brings good [news] of good [things,] & [Who] [proclaims] Salvation. [Isaiah 11:1-4 *And a Rod shall come forth there, out of the stem of Jesse, & a Branch shall grow out of his roots, [a.k.a. lineage.] *And the [Holy] Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the spirit of: wisdom, & understanding; the spirit of: counsel, & [strength;] the spirit of: knowledge, & the fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of the Lord, & shall make Him of [immediate] understanding in the fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of the Lord. And He shall not judge, [according] [to what] His eyes [see,] & neither [chastise according] [to what] His ears [hear.] But He shall judge the poor with Righteousness, & will [repay] the meek, [a.k.a. humble,] of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod of His mouth, & He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.] |
That [says] to Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem,] Your God [rules!] Your [guards] shall lift up [their] [voices,] & they shall sing with [their] [voices] together. For they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring Zion [back] again. Break [out] into joy, & sing together, you waste [lands] of Jerusalem. |
For the Lord [has] comforted His people, & He [has] redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord [has] made His holy arm bare in the eyes of all nations. And all the ends of the earth shall see the Salvation of our God. [Romans 10:9-12 That if you [shall] confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, & [shall] believe in your heart that God [has] raised Him from the dead, you [shall] be saved. For with the heart, man [believes,] [that leads] to righteousness, & with the mouth, confession is made, [that leads] to Salvation. For the Scripture [says,] [Whoever believes in] Him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew & the Greek, [a.k.a. Gentile,] for the same Lord over all, is rich to all [who] love Him.] |
You, depart. You depart, & you go out from [there,] & [don't] touch [any] unclean thing. You, [who carry] the vessels of the Lord, go out of the midst of her. [2 Corinthians 6:16-17 And what agreement, [a.k.a. like-mindedness,] [does] the temple of God [have] with idols? For you are the temple of the Living God. [Like] God [has] said, I will dwell [within] them, & walk [within] them. And I will be their God, & they shall be My people. [For this reason,] come out, from among them, & be separate, [says] the Lord, & [don't] touch the unclean thing; & I will receive you.] |
For you shall not go out [in a hurry,] nor by [fleeing:] for the Lord will go [in front of] you. And the God of Israel will be your [rear guard.] [Look,] My Servant shall [behave wisely,] & He shall be exalted, & [praised,] & be very high. [Jeremiah 23:5-8 *[Look,] the days come, [says] the Lord, that I will raise unto David, a Righteous Branch, & a King shall [rule,] & prosper, & shall [carry out:] judgment, & justice [on] the earth. *[During] His days, Judah shall be saved, & Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His Name [by which] He shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Therefore, [watch,] the days come, [says] the Lord, that they shall no [longer] say, The Lord [Lives, Who] brought up the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, out of the land of Egypt; But, the Lord [Lives, Who] brought up, & [Who] led the seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] of Israel out of the North country, & from all countries [where] I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.] |
*As] many were [astonished] at You, His [appearance] was so marred more than any man, & His [image,] more than the sons of men. [Isaiah 53:2-6 For He shall grow up before Him [like] a tender plant, & [like] a root out of dry ground. He [has] no [pleasant] form, [a.k.a. image,] nor [attractiveness.] And when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. *He is despised & rejected [by] men. A man of sorrows, & acquainted with grief. And we hid [like] it were our faces from Him. He was despised, & we [didn't hold] Him [in high regard.] *Surely, He has borne our griefs, & carried our sorrows. [Still,] we [didn't] [respect] Him [suffering,] struck, & afflicted [by] God. *But He was wounded for our [sins,] & He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement [for] our peace was upon Him, & we are healed with His stripes. *All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We have everyone turned to his own [ways,] & the Lord [has] laid on Him, the [sin] of us all.] |
So, He shall sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at Him. For they shall see, [what] hadn't been told [to] them. And they shall consider, [ponder, what] they hadn't heard. |
[1 Peter 1:2 According to the [previous] knowledge of God the Father, through the sanctification of the [Holy] Spirit, & [through] obedience, & sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace [be] to you, Elect, [a.k.a. Chosen,] & [may your] peace be multiplied.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:
Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV.
Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning.
For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.
The Table Format:
The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.
