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.

Hebrews 13:1-25 Let Brotherly Love Continue

 

Let Brotherly Love Continue

Hebrews 13:1-25    Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews [in Smaller Chunks] 

Let brotherly love continue. [Psalm 133:1 [See,] how good & pleasant it is for brethren to dwell, [a.k.a. Live,] in unity!]

[Don't forget] to entertain strangers. For [by this,] some have entertained Angels, unawares, [a.k.a. without realizing it.] Remember [those, who] are in bonds, [a.k.a. in chains, or imprisoned, like] [you were] bound with them. And [remember] [those, who] suffer adversity, [like] yourselves also [are] [suffering adversity,] in the body.

Marriage is [honorable] in all, & the bed [is not to be] undefiled. But God will Judge [sexual traffickers,] & adulterers. [Romans 6:21-23 What fruit [did] you [have] then, in those things [of which] you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But, now, being made free from sin, & [becoming] the servants to God, you have your fruit, [which leads] to holiness, & Everlasting Life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.] 

Let your [conversations] be without covetousness, [a.k.a. envy.] And be content with such things as you have. For [the Lord God] said, I will never leave you, nor forsake, [a.k.a. abandon,] you. So, that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, & I won't fear what man shall do to me. [Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my Light & my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid?] 

Considering, [a.k.a. thinking about,] the end of their conversation, remember [those, who] rule, & have [control] over you, [who] follow [their] faith, & who have spoken the Word of God to you. 

Jesus Christ [was] the same yesterday, [Is the same] today, & [will be the same] forever. [Malachi 3:5-6 And I will come near to you in judgment, & I will be a swift witness against the: sorcerers; adulterers; [those who] [swear] [falsely, a.k.a. those who give false testimony;] those [who] oppress the hireling, [a.k.a. hired laborer, with] his wages, [those who oppress] the widow; & the fatherless; & turn [away] the stranger, [a.k.a. foreigner,] from his [rights,] & [those who] [don't] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] Me, [says] the Lord of Hosts. For I Am the Lord, & I [don't] change, [that's why] you sons of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] aren't consumed, [a.k.a. destroyed.] 

[Don't] be carried [away] with [various] & strange doctrines, [a.k.a. teaching.] [Mark 7:6-7 [Jesus] answered & said to them, [Isaiah has] prophesied well, [a.k.a. correctly,] of you hypocrites, [like] it is written [in the Scriptures,] This people [honor] Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. [However,] they do worship Me in vain, teaching the commandments of men, for doctrines.]

For it is a good thing that [your] heart [is] established with grace, & not with meats, [a.k.a. foods, that] haven't [benefited] them, & [those, who] have been [preoccupied by them.] 

We have an altar, [in which, those who] serve [in] the tabernacle, have no right to eat [what's upon the altar.] For the bodies of those [sacrificial] [animals,] whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for [a] Sin [Offering,] are burned [outside] the camp. [Leviticus 4:21 And he, [a.k.a. the priest,] shall carry [out] the [bull outside] the camp, & burn him, [like] he burned the 1st [bull.] It is a Sin Offering for the congregation.]

[For this reason,] Jesus also suffered [outside] the gate [of the city, so] that He might sanctify the people with His Own Blood. [Matthew 20:28 Even [like] the Son of Man [didn't come] to be ministered to, but to minister, & to give His Life [as] a Ransom for many.] 

Therefore, let's go bearing, [a.k.a. carrying, Jesus'] reproach, [a.k.a. disgrace,] to Him [outside] the camp. For we have no city here [that] [continues,] but we seek one to come. [Revelation 21:2-4 And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them, & they shall be His people. And God, Himself, shall be with them, & be their God. *And God shall wipe all tears away from their eyes. And there shall no [longer] be: death; sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain. For the [previous] things [have] passed away.]

Therefore, let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God, through [Jesus Christ] continually, [which] is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His [Holy] Name. [Philippians 2:6-11 Who being in the form, [a.k.a. image] of God, thought it [wasn't] robbery to be equal with God. But made Himself of no reputation, [a.k.a. lowly,] & was made in the likeness of men, & took upon [Himself] the [image] of a servant, & became obedient [until] death, even the death [on] the cross. *[For this reason,] God [has] also highly exalted [Jesus Christ,] & [has] given Him a Name, which is above every name. [So] that, every knee of the things in: heaven; earth; & under the earth, should bow at the Name of Jesus. *And that every tongue, [a.k.a. language, or mouth,] should confess to the glory of God the Father, that Jesus Christ Is Lord.] 

But [don't] forget, to do good. [2 Corinthians 9:12-13 [Because administering] this service [isn't] only [supplying] the [needs] of the [Lord God's] saints, but also [abounds] by many [giving thanks] to God. [While] the [proof] of this [distribution] [for the Lord's ministry,] & they glorify God for your [testifying about] the Gospel of Christ, & for your liberal, [a.k.a. generous,] distribution [of what's needed,] to them, & to all men.] 

And [don't forget] to communicate [your faith in Jesus Christ to others.] [Matthew 28:19-20 Therefore, go & teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of: the Father, & the Son, & the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit.] Teaching them to observe, [a.k.a. obey,] all things, [whatever] I have commanded you. And [look,] I Am with you [always,] even unto the end of the world. Amen.] 

For with such sacrifices, God is well pleased. Obey & submit, [a.k.a. yield,] yourselves [to]  [those, who] rule, & [have control] over you, for they watch [out] for your souls, [a.k.a. lives, like] they must give [an] account, so they may do it, with joy & not grief. For that is unprofitable, [a.k.a. counter-productive,] for you. 

Pray for us. For we trust [that] we have a good conscience, in all things, & [are] willing to live honestly. But I [urge] you [instead] to do this, [so] that I may be restored, [a.k.a. returned,] to your sooner. 

Now, [may] the God of Peace, [Who] brought our Lord Jesus [back] from the dead. That great Shepherd of the sheep. [John 10:11 I Am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd [gives] His Life for the sheep.]

Through the blood of the Everlasting Covenant. [Ephesians 1:6-7 To praise the glory of [God's] grace, [in which,] He [has] made us accepted [through] [His] Beloved, [a.k.a. Jesus Christ.] In Whom we have Redemption, through [Christ's] Blood & the forgiveness of sins, according to the [richness] of [God's] grace.] 

[May the Lord God] make you perfect in every good work, to do His will, working [within] you, [what] is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ. To Whom [belong] glory forever, & ever. Amen. 

And I [urge] you brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers, allow this] word of exhortation, [a.k.a. encouragement.] For I have written a letter to you, in [a] few words. [So that] you know that our brother, Timothy, is set at liberty, [a.k.a. is set free;] with whom, I will see you, if he [comes] shortly, [a.k.a. soon.] 

Salute, [a.k.a. greet,] all [the Lord God's] saints, & all [those, who] rule, & [have control] over you. [Those] of Italy salute, [a.k.a. greet,] you. [May] grace be with all [of] you. Amen.
