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.

2 Peter 3:1-18 Don't Be Led Astray Like Others, with the Same Consequence on Judgment Day

 

Don't Be Led Astray Like Others, with the Same Consequence on Judgment Day

2  Peter 3:1-18             Peter's 2nd Epistle [in Smaller Chunks]

Beloved, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] I now write to you this 2nd epistle, [a.k.a. letter,] in which I both: stir up, [a.k.a. motivate,] your pure mind, by [means] of [remembering.] [So] that, you may be mindful of the Words [that] were [previously] spoken by the holy prophets, & [about] the commandment [from] the Lord & [Savior, for] us, the apostles. 

[Know] this first, that there shall come scoffers, [a.k.a. unbelievers;] in the last days, walking, [a.k.a. following,] after their own, [worldly] lusts, [a.k.a. desires.] [2 Peter 2:9-10 The Lord [knows] how to deliver the godly out of temptations. And [the Lord God knows how] to reserve the unjust [until] the Day of Judgment, to be punished, but [mainly those, who walk, a.k.a. follow] after the [unclean lusts, a.k.a. desires, of] the flesh, & [those, who] despise [the] government. They are presumptuous, [a.k.a. arrogant,] self-willed, & aren't afraid to speak evil of [dignataries.] But [mainly those, who walk, a.k.a. follow] after the [unclean lusts, a.k.a. desires, of] the flesh, & [those, who] despise [the] government. They are presumptuous, [a.k.a. arrogant,] self-willed, & aren't afraid to speak evil of [dignataries.]

Saying, Where is the promise of [Christ's] coming? For since the [forefathers] fell asleep, [a.k.a. died,] all things continue [like] they were from the beginning of creation. [Revelation 1:5-8 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness; the first begotten, [a.k.a. born,] [& has risen] [from] the dead; & the Prince, [a.k.a. Ruler,] of the kings of the earth. [To] Him, [Who] loved us, & washed us from our sins in His Own Blood. And [has] made us, kings & priests to God, & His Father. To Him be glory & dominion, [a.k.a. power,] forever & ever. Amen. [Look,] He [comes] with clouds; & every eye shall see Him. And also [those, who] pierced Him: & all [families] of the earth shall wail, because of Him. Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning, & the Ending, [says] the Lord, [Who] Is; [Who] Was; & [Who] Is to come, the Almighty.]

For they willingly [ignored] that by the Word of God, [He, created] the heavens, & the earth, standing in & out of the water, [that] were [made in] [ancient times.] [Genesis 1:8-10 And God called the firmament, Heaven. And the evening & the morning were the 2nd day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together to one place, & let the dry land appear: & it was so. And God called the dry land, Earth; & the gathering together of the waters, He called Seas. And God saw that it was good.]

[By God,] the world that was then, perished, being overflowed with water. [Genesis 6:11-14 The earth also was corrupt before God, & the earth was filled with violence. And God looked upon the earth, & [saw,] it was corrupt. For  all flesh, had corrupted his [ways] upon the earth. And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh [has] come before Me. For the earth is filled with violence through them. And, [see,] I will destroy them with the earth. You, make an ark of gopher wood, & you [shall] make rooms in the ark, & [shall] pitch it [inside,] & [outside] with pitch.]

But the heavens & the earth, [that] are now, are kept in store, by the same Word, reserved [for] fire, against the Day of Judgment, & perdition, [a.k.a. destruction,] of ungodly men. 

But, beloved, [don't] be ignorant, [a.k.a. unaware,] of this one thing, that 1 day with the Lord is [like] 1,000 years. And 1,000 years [is] [like] 1 day. The Lord is not slack, [a.k.a. slow,] concerning His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness. But [the Lord] is long-suffering, [a.k.a. patient, toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. [Ezekiel 18:23 The Lord God [says,] [Do] I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? And not return from his ways, & live?]

But the Day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heaven shall pass away with a great noise, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, & also the earth, & all the works, [a.k.a. things made,] that are [in there,] shall be burned up. [Matthew 24:35-39 Heaven & earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. But no man, & not the Angels of heaven, [know about] that day & hour, but only My Father. But [like] the days of [Noah] were, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be. For [like during] the days that were before the flood, they were eating; drinking; marrying; & giving in marriage; [until] the day that [Noah] entered into the ark, & [didn't know] until the flood came, & took them all away. So shall the coming of the Son of Man also be.]

Seeing then, that all these things shall be dissolved, what [type] of [people should] you be in all holy conversation, [a.k.a. conduct,] & godliness? [Philippians 2:21-22 For all seek their own [needs] & not the things which are Jesus Christ's. But you know the proof, [a.k.a. evidence,] of him [who like] a son with the father, he [has] served me in [sharing] the Gospel [about Jesus Christ.]

[Quickly] looking to the Day of [God's] coming, [in which] the heavens being on fire, shall be dissoved, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat. [Revelation 20:10-12 And the devil that deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone, where the beast & the false prophet are, & shall be tormented day & night forever & ever. And I saw a great white throne, & [He, Who] sat on it. And from Whose face, the earth & the heaven fled away. And there was no place found for them. And I saw the dead, [powerless] & [powerful,] stand [in front of] God. And the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged, according to their works, [a.k.a. deeds, from] the things [that] were written in the books.]

[Still,] we look for new heavens & a new earth, according to His promise, [in which] righteousness [dwells.] [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.] 

[For this reason,] beloved, [since] you look for such things, you, be diligent, [so] that you may be found: [peaceful;] without spot; & blameless, [a.k.a. without blame, by God.] And account, [a.k.a. report,] that the long suffering, [a.k.a. endurance,] of our Lord is [what produced] Salvation. 

Even [like] our beloved brother, Paul, [who] [has] also written to you, according to the wisdom given to him [by the Lord God.] [Similarly,] all [Paul's letters] also [speak about] these things [within] them. In which some things [are] hard to be understood. Which [those, who] are unlearned, [a.k.a. uneducated,] & unstable, [wrestle] [with,] as they also [wrestle with,] the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 

Therefore since you, beloved know these things [beforehand,] beware lest you also, [are] led away, [a.k.a. led astray, by] the error of the wicked, & fall from your own [steadfastness, a.k.a. focused purpose.] But grow in grace, & in knowledge [about] our Lord & [Savior,] Jesus Christ. To Him be glory, both now & forever. Amen.
