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 8:1-13 Jesus Christ is the Mediator for Us, Through a Better Covenant

 

Jesus Christ is the Mediator for Us, Through a Better Covenant

Hebrews 8:1-13    Paul's Epistle to the Hebrews [in Smaller Chunks] 

Now, this is the [total] [amount] of [what] we have spoken. We have [Jesus Christ, as] such [a] High Priest, Who is [put] on the right hand [side] of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. [Revelation 3:20-21 [Watch,] I stand at the door, & knock. If any man [hears] My voice, & [opens] the door, I will come in to him, & will [dine] with him, & he with Me. I will grant to him [who overcomes] to sit with me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame & Am [sitting] down with My Father [on] His throne.] 

A Minister [for] the Sanctuary, & [God's] True Tabernacle, [a.k.a. tent church,] which the Lord pitched, [a.k.a. put up,] & not man. [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 away all tears 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.]

[Since] every high priest is ordained, [a.k.a. appointed,] to offer gifts & sacrifices. [For this reason,] it [was necessary] that this Man, [a.k.a. Jesus Christ,] also have [something] to offer. For if [Jesus] were on earth, He [wouldn't] be a priest, [since] that there are priests, [who] offer gifts according to the Law [of Moses.] 

[Those] who serve [as an] example, [foreshadowing about] heavenly things, [like] Moses, was [warned from] God, when he was about to make the tabernacle, [a.k.a. tent church in the wilderness.] For [God said,] See that you make all things according to the pattern [declared] to you in the Mount, [a.k.a. Mount Sinai, & Mount Horeb.] 

But now, [Jesus has] obtained, [a.k.a. received,] a more excellent ministry, which was established [by God,] upon better promises, & a better Covenant, [contract,] [through] [Jesus Christ,] [Who] is the Mediator. [1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is One God, & One Mediator between God & men, Christ Jesus, [Who was born to Mary as a] [Man.] Who gave Himself [as] a Ransom for all, to be testified in due time.] 

For if that 1st Covenant had been [without fault,] then [why would a] place have been sought for the 2nd [Covenant.] [Hebrews 10:9-10 Then, [Jesus Christ] said, [Look,] I come to do your will, O God. He, [Who] [takes] away the 1st [Covenant,] [so] that He may establish the 2nd [Covenant.] [Through this,] we are sanctified through the offering of Jesus [Christ's] body, once for all.] 

[But in] finding fault with them, He [said, Watch,] the days come, [says] the Lord, when I will make a new Covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] with the house of Judah. 

Not according to the Covenant that I made with their [forefathers, during] the [days] when I took them by the hand, to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they [didn't continue] [to follow] My Covenant, [& went astray.] 

And I [didn't regard, [a.k.a. respect] them, [says] the Lord. For this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, [says] the Lord. I will put My Laws into their [minds,] & write them [within] their hearts. 

And I will be a God to them, & they shall be a people to Me. And they shall [no longer] teach, every man his: neighbor, & brother, saying, Know the Lord. For all shall know Me, from the [powerless] to the [powerful.] 

For I will be merciful to their [wickedness,] & I will no [longer] remember their sins, & iniquities. In that [God said,] A New Covenant, [it is] He, [Who] [had] made the 1st [Covenant] old, [a.k.a. outdated.] Now, that which [decays] & [grows] old, is ready to vanish away, [a.k.a. disappear.] 

[2 Corinthians 5:17-19 Therefore, if any man [is] [a believer] in Christ, he is a new creature, [a.k.a. being,] & old things [have] passed away. [Look,] all things [have] become new. And all things are [from] God, Who [has] reconciled us to Himself, [through] Jesus Christ, & has given the ministry of reconciliation to us. [Especially,] that God was [within] Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing, [a.k.a. not holding them responsible,] [for] their trespasses, [a.k.a. sins,] & [has] committed, [a.k.a. appointed,] to us, [God's] Word of reconciliation.]
