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.

Mark 11:1-33 Palm Sunday

 

Palm Sunday

Mark 11:1-33         The Gospel According to Mark [in Smaller Chunks]

And when they came [near] to Jerusalem, Bethphage, & Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, *[Jesus sent out] 2 of His disciples, & [said] to them, Go [on] your way into the village, [across from] you. And as soon as you [have] entered into it, you shall find a colt tied, [upon which, no] man [ever] sat. 

[Loosen] him, & bring him. And if any man [says] to you, Why do you [do] this? You, say, That the Lord [has] need of him. And [immediately,] he will send him [here.] *And they went [on] their way, & found the colt tied by the door [outside,] in a place where 2 [roads] met, & they [loosened] him.

*And [some] of [those, who] stood there, said to them, What do you [do] [loosening] the colt? *And they said to them, even [like] Jesus commanded: & they let them go. 

*And they brought the colt to Jesus, & [threw] their garments on him; & Jesus sat upon him. And many spread their garments in the [road:] & others cut down branches off the trees, & [spread] them in the [road.] [Zechariah 9:9 *Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem. [Look,] your King comes to you. He is just, & [has] Salvation; lowly, & riding upon a [mule,] & upon a colt, the foal of a [mule.]

*And [those, who] went [in front,] & [those, who] followed, cried [out,] saying, Hosanna; Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord. Blessed [is] the kingdom of our father, David, that comes in the Name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. [Psalm 118:26 *Blessed [is] He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord. We have blessed You, out of the house of the Lord.] 

And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, & into the temple. And when [Jesus] had looked [all around] upon all things, & [sunset] was now [coming,] He went out to Bethany with the 12. 

And on [the next day,] when they [came] from Bethany, [Jesus] was hungry. And seeing a fig tree, having leaves, [far] off, He came, if [perhaps,] He might find anything [on it.] And when [Jesus] came to it, He found nothing but leaves: for [it] wasn't the time [for] figs yet. And Jesus said to it, [Let] no man eat fruit [from] you, [from now on,] forever. And His disciples heard it. 

And they [came] to Jerusalem, & *Jesus went into the temple, & began to [throw] out, [those, who] sold & bought in the temple, & [threw over] the [money changers'] tables, & the seats of [those, who] sold doves; & wouldn't [allow] that any man should  carry any vessel through the temple. 

And [Jesus] taught, saying to them, Isn't it written [in the Scriptures,] My house shall be called [by] all nations, the house of prayer? But you have made it a den of thieves. [Isaiah 56:7 *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 of all people.]

*And the scribes & chief priests heard it, & sought how they might destroy [Jesus.] For they feared Him, because all the people [were] astonished at His doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching.] 

[Psalm 41:7 *All, [who] hate Me, whisper together against Me. And they devise [plots] against Me, [for] My [harm.]

And when [evening had] come, [Jesus] went out of the city. *And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter [remembered,] & [said] to Him, Master, [a.k.a. Teacher, See,] the tree, [that] You [cursed has] withered away. 

And Jesus answering, [said] to them, Have faith in God. For [truly,] I say to you, That [whoever] shall say to this mountain, You, be removed, & be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things [that] he [says] shall [happen,] he shall have [whatever] he [asks.] 

Therefore, I say to you, [Whatever] things you desire, when you pray, & believe that you receive them, & you shall have them. [John 14:13-15 And [whatever] you shall ask in My Name, I will do that, [so] the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in My Name, I will do it. If you love Me, & keep My commandments.] 

And when you stand praying, forgive, if you have [anything] against [anyone, so] that your Father, [Who] also is in heaven may forgive you, your [sins.] But if you don't forgive, neither will your Father, [Who] is in heaven, forgive your [sins.] 

And they [came] again to Jerusalem. And as [Jesus] was walking in the temple, the chief priests, scribes & elders [came] there to Him, & [said] to [Jesus,] By what authority, [do] You [do] these things? And Jesus answered & said to them, I will also ask [from] you one question. And answer Me, & I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? Answer Me. And they reasoned [among] themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He will say, Then, why didn't you believe him? 

But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people. For all men [considered] that John, was indeed a prophet. And they answered & said to Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering [said] to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
