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.

Matthew 8:1-34 When Jesus Came Down from the Mountain & Multitudes Followed Him

 

When Jesus Came Down from the Mountain & Multitudes Followed Him

Matthew 8:1-34    The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks]

When [Jesus had] come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. And, [saw,] a leper came there & worshiped Him, saying, Lord, if You [are willing,] You can make me clean. And Jesus put [out] His hand, & touched him, saying, I will. [You'll] be clean. And immediately, his leprosy was cleansed. 

And Jesus [said] to him, See [that] you tell no man. But go [on] your way, & [show] yourself to the priest, & offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And when Jesus [had] entered into Capernaum, there came to Him a Centurion, [begging] Him, & saying, Lord, my servant lies at home sick [with paralysis,] & [is] grievously tormented. 

And Jesus [said] to him, I will come & heal him. The Centurion answered & said, Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak the Word, & my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, & have soldiers under me. And I say to this man, Go, & he goes.

And [I say] to another, Come, & he [comes,] & to my servant, Do this, & he [does] it. When Jesus heard it, He marveled, & said to [those, who] followed, [Truly,] I say to you, I haven't found [such] [a] [large] faith, no, not in Israel. 

And I say to you, That many shall come from the East & West, & shall sit down with Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob, in the Kingdom of heaven. But the children, [a.k.a. people,] [who were supposed to inherit] the Kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; & there shall be weeping & gnashing of teeth. 

And Jesus said to the Centurion, Go [on] your way; & as you [have] believed, so [shall] it be done [for] you. And his servant was healed in the [very same] hour. 

And when Jesus [had] come into Peter's house, He saw [Peter's] wife's mother, [lying down,] & sick [with] a fever. And He touched her hand, & the fever left her. And she arose, & ministered, [a.k.a. served,] them. 

When [evening had] come, they brought many to Him, [who] were possessed [by demons,] & He cast out the [evil] spirits with His Word, & healed all, [who] were sick. *[So,] that it might be fulfilled, [what] was spoken by [Isaiah,] the prophet, saying, [He] took [away] our infirmities Himself & [carried] [away] our sicknesses.

[Mark 1:27-28 And they were all amazed, [in] that, they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this thing? What new doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching,] is this? For He even commands the unclean spirits with authority, & they obey Him. And His fame immediately spread, [around,] throughout all the region, [all around] Galilee.]

Now, when Jesus saw [large] multitudes [around] Him, He [commanded] [the disciples] to depart to the other side. And a certain scribe came & said to Him, Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] I will follow you, [wherever] You [go.] And Jesus [said] to him, The [fox,] have holes, & the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man [has no] where to lay His head. 

And another of His disciples said to Him, Lord, [allow] me to 1st go & bury my father. But Jesus said to him, Follow Me, & let the dead bury their dead. [Romans 6:21-23 Then, what fruit [did you produce] in those things [of which] you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now, being made free from sin, [you have] become servants to God. You have your fruit [that leads] to holiness, & the end [leads] to Everlasting Life. For the wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is Eternal Life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.] 

And when He [had] entered into [the] ship, His disciples followed Him. And [Jesus' disciples][saw,] a [large] tempest in the sea arose there, [in] that, the ship was covered with the waves: but [Jesus] was asleep. And His disciples came to Him, & awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us. We [are] [perishing.] 

And He [said] to them, Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then, He arose, & rebuked the winds & the sea; & there was a great calm. But the men marveled, saying, What [type] of Man is this, that even the winds & the sea obey Him! [Psalm 89:9 You [rule] the raging sea. When the waves arise, You [still] them.] 

And when He [had] come to the other side, into the country of the Gergesenes, 2 met Him there, coming out of the tombs, possessed [by exceedingly] fierce [demons,] so that no man might pass by that [road.] 

And, [look,], they cried out, saying, What [do] we have to do with You, Jesus, You, Son of God? [Have] You come [here] to torment us, before the time? [Mathew 25:41 Then, He shall also say to them on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil & his angels.]

[A] herd of many swine, [a.k.a. pigs, eating] was there a good way, [a.k.a. distance,] off from them. So, the [demons begged] Him, saying, If you cast us out, [allow] us to go away into the herd of swine. And [Jesus] said to them, Go. 

And when they [had] come out, [the demons] they went into the herd of swine. And, [saw,] the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place & into the sea, & perished in the waters. 

And [those, who] kept [the swine,] fled, & went their [paths] into the city, & told everything, & what [happened] to the [2 men, who were] possessed [by demons.] And, [saw,] the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they [urged] Him, [so] that He would [leave from] their coasts.
