About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: 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.

Matthew 25:1-46 A Man About to Travel Gives His 3 Servants Money

 

A Man About to Travel Gives His 3 Servants Money

Matthew 25:1-46    The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, the Kingdom of heaven shall be [compared] to 10 virgins, [who] took their lamps, & went [out] to meet the bridegroom. [Revelation 21:9-10 And one of the 7 Angels came there to me, [who] had the 7 full vials of the 7 last plagues, & talked with me, saying, Come [here.] 

I will [show] you the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great & high mountain. And [showed] me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending from God, out of heaven.] 

And 5 of them were wise, & 5 were foolish. [Those, who] were foolish took their lamps, & [didn't take] oil with them. But the wise took oil in their vessels, with their lamps. While the bridegroom [delayed,] they all [rested] & slept. 

[1 Thessalonians 5:5-6 For you are all the children of Light, & the children of the day. We aren't of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, [like] others do. But let us watch, & be sober.] 

And at midnight there was a cry made, [Look,] the bridegroom comes. You, go out to meet him. [Revelation 1:7-8 [Look,] He comes with clouds. And every eye shall see Him, & also [those, who] pierced Him. 

And all the [families] of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] is, [Who] was, & [Who] is to come, the Almighty.]

Then, all those virgins arose, & trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, Give us [some] of your oil; for our lamps [have] gone out. But the wise answered, saying, [No;] lest there [isn't] enough for us & you. But [instead,] you go to [those who] sell, & buy for yourselves. 

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came. And [those, who] were ready went in with him to the marriage; & the door was shut. [Luke 13:24-25 I say to you, Strive to enter in at the [narrow] gate: for many will seek to enter in, & shall not be able. 

Once the master of the house has shut the door, & you begin to stand [outside,] & knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. And he is risen up, shall answer, & say to you, I [don't] know you, & [where] you are [from.] 

Afterward, the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord open to us. But he answered & said, [Truly,] I say to you, I [don't] know you. [John 9:31 Now we know that God [doesn't] hear sinners. But if any man [is] a worshiper of God, & does His will, He [hears] him.] 

Therefore watch, for you [don't] know the day nor the hour, [in which] the Son of Man [comes.] [Mark 13:32 But no man knows of that day & that hour, no, not the Angels, [who] are in heaven, neither the Son, [only] the Father.] 

For the kingdom of heaven is [like] a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, & delivered his goods to them. And to one, he gave 5 talents, to another 2, & to another 1. [He gave] to every man according to his [various abilities,] & [immediately] took his journey.

[Romans 12:3-8 For through the grace given to me, I say to every man, [who] is among you, not to think of himself more highly that he [should] think. But to think soberly, according [like] the measure of faith God has dealt to every man. 

For [since] we have many members in 1 body, & all [body] members [don't] have the same [function.] So, we being many, are 1 body in Christ, & everyone members [with] one another. 

Then, having differing gifts, according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith [given.] Or ministry, let us [serve in] our ministering. Or he, [who] teaches, [serve by] teaching. 

Or he, [who advises,] [serve by] [advising.] He, [who] gives, let him [give] with simplicity. He, [who leads,] [will lead] with diligence. He, [who declares] mercy, [shall be merciful,] with cheerfulness.] 

Then, he, [who] had received the 5 talents, went & traded with the same, & made them 5 other talents. And [also,] he, [who] had received 2 [talents,] he also gained 2 [others.] But he, [who] had received 1 [talent,] went & [dug] in the [ground] & hid his lord's money. 

After a long time, the lord of those servants [came] & [settled accounts] with them. So, he [who] had received 5 talents came & brought [the] other 5 talents, saying, Lord, you delivered to me 5 talents. [Look,] I have gained 5 more talents [in addition to] them. 

His lord said to him, Well done, you good & faithful servant. You [have] been faithful over a few things, I will make your ruler, [a.k.a. supervisor,] over many things. You, enter into the joy of your Lord.  

He, [who] also received 2 talents came & said, Lord, you delivered 2 talents to me. [See,] I have gained 2 other talents [in addition to] them. His lord said to him, Well done, good & faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler, [a.k.a. supervisor,] over many things. 

You, enter into the joy of your Lord. [Revelation 2:25-26 But hold [tight] [to] [what] you already have, [until] I come. And he, [who overcomes] & [keeps] [doing] My work until the end, I will give power to him over the nations.] 

Then, he [who] received 1 talent came & said, Lord, I knew that you [are a harsh] man, reaping where you haven't sown, & gathering where you haven't [scattered] [any seed.] And I was afraid, & went & hid your talent in the [ground.] [Look,] you have there [what] is yours. 

His lord answered & said to him, You wicked & [lazy] servant. You [knew] that I reap where I [didn't sow,] & gather where I haven't [scattered.] Therefore, you [should] have put my money to the [bankers,] & at my coming, then I should have received [my] own with [interest.] 

Therefore, take the talent from him, & give it to him [who] had 10 talents. For to everyone, [who has,] shall be given, & he shall have [an] abundance. But from him, [who doesn't] have, shall be taken away, even [what] he has. 

[Matthew 7:17-20 Even so, every good tree [produces] good fruit, but a [bad] tree [produces bad] fruit. A good tree can't [produce bad] fruit, & neither can a [bad] tree [produce] good fruit. Every tree that [doesn't produce] good fruit it [cut] down & cast into the fire. [For this reason,] you shall know them by their fruits.]

And you, cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness. Weeping & gnashing of teeth shall be there. When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, & all the holy Angels with Him, then He shall sit upon the throne of His glory. 

[Matthew 16:27 *For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father with His Angels. And He shall then reward every man according to his works, [a.k.a. deeds.] 

And all nations shall be gathered [in front of] Him, & He shall separate them one from another, [like] a shepherd [divides] His sheep from the goats. [Revelation 22:12-15 *And, [watch,] I come quickly; & My reward is with Me, & shall be to give every man according [like] his work, [a.k.a. deeds.]

I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those, who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life, & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs; sorcerers; [sexual traffickers;] murderers, idolaters, & [whoever] loves & makes [up lies.] 

And He shall [put] the sheep on His right hand [side,] but the goats on the left. Then, the King shall say to [those] on His right hand, You, blessed of My Father, come & inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was [hungry,] & you gave Me meat, [a.k.a. food.] 

I was thirsty, & you gave Me [something to] drink. I was a stranger, & you took Me in. Naked, & you clothed Me. I was sick, & you visited Me. I was in prison, & you came to Me. Then, the righteous shall answer Him, saying, Lord, when [did] we [see] You [hungry,] & fed you? Or thirsty, & gave You drink?

When [did] we [see] You a stranger, & took You in? Or naked, & clothed You? Or when [did] we see You sick, or in prison, & came to You? And the King shall answer & say to them, [Truly,] I say to you, [In that,] you have done it to one of the least of these [of] My brethren, you have done it to Me. 

Then, He shall also say to [those] on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil & his angels. For I was [hungry] & you [didn't] give Me [any] meat, [a.k.a. food.] I was thirsty, & you gave Me no drink. I was a stranger, & you [didn't] take Me in.

Naked, & you [didn't] clothe Me. Sick, & in prison, & you [didn't visit] Me. Then, they shall also answer Him, saying, Lord, when [did] we see you [hungry,] or [thirsty,] or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't minister to You? 

Then, He shall answer them, saying, [Truly,] I say to you, [In that,] you didn't [do] it [for] one of the least of these, you didn't [do] it [for] Me. [Ezekiel 33:31 And they come to you [like] the [other] people come. And they sit [in front of] you [like] My people, & they hear your Words. But they won't do them. For they [declare] much love with their mouth, but their heart [follows] after their [greed.]

And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. [John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God [didn't] [send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He, [who] believes [in] Him is not condemned, but he [who] doesn't believe, is condemned already, because he hasn't believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.]
