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.

John 2:1-25 Jesus Turns the Water into Wine at a Wedding

 

Jesus Turns the Water into Wine at a Wedding

John 2:1-25          The Gospel According to John [in Smaller Chunks]

And the 3rd day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee. And the mother of Jesus was there, & both: Jesus & His disciples [were] called to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no wine. 

Jesus [said] to her, Woman, what [do] I have to do with you? [My] hour [hasn't] come yet. [Jesus'] mother [said] to the servants, Do [whatever] He says to you. And [sitting] there were 6 waterpots of stone, [which] [contain] 2 or 3 firkins, [each, according to] the [customs] of purifying the Jews. 

Jesus [said to the servants,] Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And [Jesus said] to them, Draw [some] out now, & [carry] [it] to the governor, [a.k.a. manager,] of the feast. And they [carried] it. 

When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that made [into] wine, & [didn't know where] it was [from:] (but the servants, [who] drew the water knew.) The governor of the feast called the bridegroom, & [said] to him, Every man [sets out] the good wine [in] the beginning. 

And when men have drunk [much,] then [he sets out the wine] that is worse, [a.k.a. inferior.] But you have kept the good wine until now. This [is the] beginning of miracles [that] Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, & [made] His glory [apparent,] & His disciples believed [in] Him. [John 4:53-54 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in which Jesus said to him, Your son lives. And [he,]& his whole [household] believed. This is again, the 2nd miracle that Jesus did, when he [had] come out of Judaea, [a.k.a Judea,] into Galilee.]

After this, [Jesus,] His mother, His brethren, & His disciples, went down to Capernaum. And they [stayed] there [a few] days. And the Jew's Passover was at hand, & Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 

And [Jesus] found in the temple, those [who] sold: oxen, sheep, & doves, & the money changers sitting. *And when He had made a scourge of small cords, [Jesus] drove them all out of the temple, & the: sheep, & oxen. And poured out all the changer's money, & [threw over] the tables. [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 for all people.] 

And said to [those, who] sold doves, Take these things [from] [here. Don't] make My Father's house [a] house of merchandise. *And [Jesus'] disciples remembered that it was written [in the Scriptures,] The zeal of Your house has eaten Me up. [Psalm 69:9 *For the zeal of Your house has eaten Me up. And the reproaches of [those, who disgraced] You, are fallen upon Me.] 

Then, the Jews answered & said to Him, What sign [do] You [show] to us, [since] You [do] these things? *Jesus answered & said to them, Destroy this temple, & in 3 days, I will raise it up. Then, the Jews said, This temple [took] 46 years in building [it,] & [will] You [raise] it up in 3 days? But [Jesus spoke] of the temple of His body. [Luke 24:4-7 *And it [happened,] as they were [very confused about] it, & [saw] 2 men in shining garments stood by them. And [since] they were afraid, bowed down their faces to the [ground.] [The 2 men] said to them, Why [do] you seek the Living among the dead? He isn't here, but is risen. Remember how He [spoke] to you, when He was [still] in Galilee, saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, & be crucified, & rise again the third day.]

*Therefore, when [Jesus] was risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them, & they believed the Scripture, & the Word [that] Jesus had said. 

Now, when [Jesus] was in Jerusalem at the Passover, [on] the feast day, many believed in His Name, when they saw the miracles [that Jesus] did. [Matthew 4:23-24 And Jesus went all [around] Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, & preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, & healing all [types] of: sickness, & [diseases] among the people. And HIs fame went throughout all [of] Syria. And they brought all sick people, [who] were taken with [various:] diseases, torments, were possessed by [demons,] were [epileptics,] & those, who] [were] [paralyzed,] to [Jesus,] & He healed them.]

But Jesus didn't commit, [a.k.a. devote] Himself to them, because He knew all men. [Matthew 9:4-7 And Jeus knowing their thoughts said, [For what reason,] [do] you think evil in your hearts? For [which] is easier to say, Your sins [are] forgiven you, or to say, Arise & walk? But [so] that you may know that the Son of Man [has] power on earth to forgive sins, (then [Jesus] said to the [paralyzed,) Arise, & take up your bed, & go to your house. And he arose, & departed to his house.] 

And [Jesus] [didn't] need that any should testify of man: for He knew what was in man. [John 6:64 But there are some of you, [who don't] believe. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were [who didn't] believe, & who [would] betray Him.]
