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.

2nd Timothy 3:1-17 Warnings About the Last Days

 

Warnings About the Last Days

2nd Timothy 3:1-17            Paul's 2nd Epistle to Timothy [in Smaller Chunks]

Also, know this, that in the last days, perilous times shall come. [Jude verses 17-20 But you, beloved, remember the Words, [that] were spoken [previously by] the apostles [about] our Lord Jesus Christ. How they told you there [would] be mockers, [during] the last [times,] who [would] walk, [a.k.a. follow,] after their own ungodly, [a.k.a. worldly,] lusts. These [are those] [who are] sensual, who separate themselves, [a.k.a. cause divisions,] not having the [Holy] Spirit. But you, beloved [build] up yourselves, [in] your most holy faith, praying [through] the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit.]

For [some] men shall be: lovers of their own selves, [a.k.a. conceited;] covetous, [a.k.a. greedy;] boasters; proud; blasphemers, [a.k.a. those who use the Lord God's Name in vain;] [are] disobedient to parents; unthankful; unholy, [a.k.a. ungodly;] without natural affection, [a.k.a. heartless or unloving;] truce-breakers, [a.k.a. rebels;] false accusers, [a.k.a. those who accuse others falsely;] incontinent, [a.k.a. uncontrollable;] fierce; despisers of those, [who] are good; traitors; heady, [a.k.a. those who have an Intoxicating affect on others, as if by alcohol;] high-minded, [a.k.a. arrogant;] lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God. 

Having a form, [a.k.a. an image] of godliness, but denying [the Lord God's] power. Turn away from such [as these.] For this sort of [person] are [those, who] creep into] houses, & lead away, [a.k.a. led astray] silly women captive, [loaded] with [various] sins & lusts. [Always] learning, [but] never able to [grasp] the knowledge of the Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to him, I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man [comes] to the Father, [except] by Me.] 

Now, [like] Jannes & Jambres, [traditionally known as two of the magicians in Egypt who] withstood, [a.k.a. stood in opposition to,] Moses. [Exodus 8:16-19 And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Stretch out your rod, & [strike] the dust, [a.k.a. dirt,] of the land, [so] that it may become lice throughout the land of Egypt. And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, & [struck] the dust of the [ground,] & it became lice [on] man, & [on animals.] All the dust of the land became lice throughout the land of Egypt. And to bring forth lice, the magicians did so with their enchantments, but they could not. So there were lice upon man, & upon [animals.] Then, the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. And Pharaoh's heart was hardened, & he [didn't pay attention] to [Moses & Aaron;] [like] the Lord had said.]

So, these [wicked] men [with] corrupt minds, also do resist the Truth, [about] the faith [in Jesus Christ.] But they shall no [longer continue.] For their folly, [a.k.a. foolishness,] shall [become] manifest, [a.k.a. apparent,] to all men, [like] [the magicians' foolishness in trying to stand in opposition to the Lord God,] also was [apparent.] 

But you have [completely] known my doctrine, [a.k.a. teaching,] & [type] of: life; purpose; faith; [endurance;] charity, [a.k.a. love,] patience; & [my:] persecutions; afflictions; which [happened] to me [in] Antioch; Iconium; & Lystra. 

But  the Lord delivered me out of all [these] persecutions, & I endured them. [Yes,] all [who] will live godly [lives] [through] Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution. But evil men, & seducers, [a.k.a. tempters,] [who lead others astray from faith in Jesus Christ,] shall [grow] worse & worse, deceiving, & being deceived. [2 Corinthians 11:13-14 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no [wonder;] for Satan, himself, is transformed into an angel of light.]

But you continue in the things [that] you have been assured of, & [have] learned, knowing [from] whom you [have] learned them. And from a child, you [have] known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise, [which leads] to Salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus. [John 5:39 Search the Scriptures, for you think you have Eternal Life [through the Scriptures, but] [the Scriptures] are [what] testify of Me.] 

All Scripture is given by inspiration [from] God, & [Scripture] is [beneficial] for: doctrine; reproof, [a.k.a. criticism;] correction; & instruction [about] righteousness. [So] that the [human] [followers] of God, may be thoroughly [perfected, & equipped] to [do] all good works, [a.k.a. deeds.] [Acts 10:38-42 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit,] & with power. Who went [around] doing good, & healing all, [who] were oppressed [by demons:] for God was with Him. And we are witnesses of all [the] things [that Jesus] did both in the land of the Jews, & in Jerusalem. Whom they [hung] & [killed,] on a [cross made from a] tree. *God raised Him up the third day & openly [showed] Him. Not to all the people, but to witnesses [previously] chosen [by] God, even to us, who [ate & drank] with Him, after He rose from the dead. And He commanded us to preach to the people, & to testify that it is He, [Who] was ordained, [a.k.a. appointed by] God to be the Judge of the quick, [a.k.a. alive,] & the dead.]
