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 16:1-20 Jesus' Resurrection & Ascension

 

Jesus' Resurrection & Ascension

Mark 16:1-20          The Gospel According to Mark [in Smaller Chunks]

And when the Sabbath was [over,] Mary Magdalene, & Mary, the mother of James, & Salome, had bought sweet spices, [so] that they might come & anoint [Jesus.] 

And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the [tomb] at [sunrise.] And they said among themselves, Who shall roll away the stone, [a.k.a. boulder,] from the door of the [tomb] for us? And when they looked, they saw the stone was rolled away; for it was very [large.] 

And entering into the [tomb,] they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment. And they were [frightened.] *And he [said] to them, [Don't] be [frightened.] You seek Jesus of Nazareth, [Who] was crucified. He is risen; & He isn't here. [See,] the place where they laid Him.

[Psalm 16:9-10 *Therefore, My heart is glad, & My glory rejoices. My flesh shall also rest in hope. For You won't leave My soul in hell. Neither [will] You [allow] Your Holy One to see corruption, [a.k.a. decay.]

*But go [on] your way, & tell His disciples & Peter that [Jesus] goes before you into Galilee. You shall see Him there, [like] He said to you. [Mark 14:28 *But after I Am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.] 

And they went out quickly, & fled from the [tomb;] for they were amazed & trembled. Neither [did] they say anything to any man, for they were afraid. Now, when Jesus [had] risen early the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, [from] whom He had cast out 7 [demons.]

*And as they mourned & wept, [Mary] went & told [those, who] had been with Him. [Zechariah 12:10 *And I will pour [out] upon the house of David, & [Jerusalem's] inhabitants, the Spirit of grace & [petitions.] And they shall look upon Me, Whom they have pierced. And they shall mourn for Him, [like someone mourns] for his only son. And shall be in bitterness for Him, [like someone, who] is in bitterness for his firstborn.]

And when they had heard that [Jesus] was alive, & had been seen [by] her, they [didn't] believe. After that, [Jesus] appeared in another form, to 2 of them, as they walked, & went into the country. And they went & told it to the [rest.] Neither [did] they believe them. 

Afterward, [Jesus] appeared to the 11, as they sat at [dinner,] & [scolded] them [for] their unbelief, [a.k.a. disbelief,] & the hardness of [their] [hearts,] because they [didn't] believe [those, who] had seen Him, after He was risen. [John 20:26-29 *And after 7 days, again [Jesus'] disciples were [inside,] & Thomas with them. Then, Jesus came, the doors being shut, & stood in the [middle,] & said, Peace be to you. 

Then, [Jesus said] to Thomas, Reach your finger [here,] & [see] My hands. And reach your hand [here,] & thrust it into My side. And [don't] be faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered & said to [Jesus,] My Lord, & my God. Jesus [said] to him, Thomas, because you [have] seen Me, you [have] believed. Blessed are [those, who] haven't seen, & [still] have believed.] 

And [Jesus] said to them, You, go into all the world, & preach the gospel to every creature. He, [who believes,] & is baptized, shall be saved. But he, [who doesn't believe,] shall be [condemned.] 

And these signs shall follow [those, who] believe. They shall cast out [demons] in My Name. *They shall speak with new tongues, [a.k.a. languages.] [Acts 2:2-4 *And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, [like] of a mighty, rushing wind. And it filled all the house where they were sitting. 

And there appeared to them cloven tongues like, as of fire, & it sat [above] each of them. And they were all filled with The Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. The Holy Spirit,] & began to speak with other tongues, [a.k.a. languages, like] the Spirit gave them utterance.] 

They shall take up serpents, [a.k.a. snakes,] & if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. *They shall lay hands on the sick, & they shall recover. [Acts 5:14-16 *And more believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men & women. 

[In] that, they brought [out] the sick into the streets, & laid them on beds & couches, [so] that, at least the shadow of Peter passing by, might overshadow some of them. 

Also, there came a multitude out of the cities, [all around,] to Jerusalem, bringing sick [folk,] & [those, who] were [troubled] with unclean spirits, [a.k.a. demons,] & everyone [was] healed.] 

So, after the Lord had spoken to them, then, [Jesus] was received up into heaven, & sat on the right hand [side] of God. And they went [out,] the Lord working [within] them, & preached everywhere, confirming, [a.k.a. verifying,] the Word, with signs following. Amen. 

[Acts 5:12 *And by the hands of the apostles were many signs & wonders, [a.k.a. miracles, done] among the people. And they were all [united] with one accord, in Solomon's porch.]
