Keep From Polluting, [a.k.a. defiling] the Sabbath |
Isaiah 56:1-12 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
The Lord [says this,] You, keep, [a.k.a. don't let go, of] judgment, & do [what is:] justice. For My Salvation is [soon] to come, & My righteousness [is soon] to be revealed. Blessed is the man [who does] this, & the son of man, [who embraces] it, & [keeps] from [defiling] the Sabbath, & [keeps] his hand from doing any evil. |
Neither let the son of the stranger, [who has] joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord [has totally] separated me from His people. Neither let the eunuch say, [Look,] I am a dry tree. [Acts 8:32-38 *The place of the Scripture [that] he, [a.k.a. Queen Candaces' Ethiopian eunuch of great authority,] read was this, He was led [like] a sheep to the slaughter; & like a [mute] lamb [in front of] his shearer. So He [didn't] open His mouth. In His humiliation, His judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] was taken away. And who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth. |
And the eunuch answered Philip, & said, I pray [that] you [tell,] of Whom the prophet [speaks] this? Of himself, or some other Man? Then, Philip opened his mouth, & began at the same Scripture, & preached [about] Jesus to him. And as they went on their way, they came to a certain [place with] water, & the eunuch said, See, here is water. What [hinders] me [from] [being] baptized? And Philip said, If you [believe] with all your heart, you [may.] And he answered, & said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they both went down into the water, both Philip & the eunuch. And [Philip] baptized him.] |
For the Lord [says this] to the eunuchs, [who] keep My Sabbaths, & choose the things that please Me, & [embrace] My Covenant. In [My] house, & within My walls, I will give even to them, a place & a name better than [that] of: sons & daughters. I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. |
[Revelation 2:17 He, [who has] an ear, let him hear what the [Holy] Spirit [says] to the churches. I will give to him, [who overcomes,] to eat of the hidden manna, & will give him a white stone, & a new name written in the stone, [that] no man [knows, except] he, [who receives] it.] |
Also, the sons of the [strangers, who] join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, & to love the Name of the Lord, to be His servants, & everyone [who keeps] the Sabbath, & from [defiling] it, & [embraces] My covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] I will bring even [those] to My Holy mountain, & make them joyful in My House of Prayer. |
Their burnt offerings & their sacrifices shall be accepted upon [My] altar. For [My] house shall be called a House of Prayer for all people. [Romans 10:9-13 That if you [shall] confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth, & [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 unto all [who] call upon Him. For [whoever] shall call upon the Name of the Lord, shall be saved.] |
The Lord God, [Who gathers] the outcasts of Israel [says, [Still,] I will gather others to him, [a.k.a. Israel, besides] those [who] are gathered to him. All you [animals] of the field, come to devour. [Yes,] all you [wild animals] in the forest. |
[Isaiah 60:10-11 And the sons of strangers, [a.k.a. foreigners,] shall build up your walls, & their kings shall minister to you, for in My [anger,] I struck] you, but in My [favor,] I have had mercy on you. Therefore, your gates shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day, nor night; [so] that men may bring to you, the [troops] of the Gentiles, & their kings may be brought.] |
His watchmen, [a.k.a. guards,] are blind. [Matthew 15:14 Let them alone: they [are] blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind [leads] the blind, both shall fall into a ditch.] |
They are all ignorant, & they are all [mute] dogs. They can't bark; [whether] sleeping, lying down, & [they love] to slumber. [Yes,] they are greedy dogs [that] can never have enough. And they are shepherds that can't understand. [Ezekiel 34:9-13 Therefore, O you shepherds, hear the Word of the Lord. The Lord God [says this; Watch,] I am against the shepherds. And I will [hold them responsible for] My flock, [that's] [under] their hand, [a.k.a. control,] & cause them to [stop] from feeding the flock. Neither shall the shepherds feed themselves anymore. For I will deliver My flock from their mouth, [so] that they may not be meat for the [shepherds.] For the Lord God [says this; Look,] I, even I, will both search [for] My sheep, & seek them out. [Like] a shepherd [seeks] out his flock, [on] the day that he is among his sheep, [who] are scattered. [This way,] I will seek out My sheep, & will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered [on] the cloudy, & dark day. And I will bring them out, from the people, & gather them from the countries, & will bring them to their own land, & feed them by the rivers, upon the mountains of Israel, & in all the inhabited places of the country.] |
From his [living] [quarters,] they all look to their own [path,] & everyone for his [own] gain. They say, You, come, & I will [get] wine, & we will fill ourselves with strong drink. And tomorrow shall be [like today, but] much more abundant. [Isaiah 5:11 Woe to [those, who] rise up early in the morning, [so] that they may follow strong drink; [who] continue until night, [until] wine inflames them.] |
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.
