About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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.

Revelation 1:1-20 Jesus Christ Tells the Apostle John to Write What He Sees & Hears in a Book

 

Jesus Christ Tells the Apostle John to Write What He Sees & Hears in a Book 

Revelation 1:1-20         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, [that] God gave to Him, to [tell] to His servants [what] things must shortly [happen.] And [the Lord God] sent & signified it, [a.k.a. made it known,] by His Angel to His servant, John: who [bore record, a.k.a. testified, about] the Word of God, & [about] the testimony of Jesus Christ, & [about] all [the] things that he saw.

Blessed is he, [who reads,] & [those, who] hear the Words of this prophecy, & keep those things [that] are written [in it.] For the time is at hand. [Revelation 22:7 [Watch,] I come quickly; & blessed is he, [who keeps] the sayings of the prophecy of this Book.] 

To John, & the 7 churches [that] are in Asia. [May] grace & peace be to you, from [the Lord God, Who] Is, & [Who] Was, & [Who] Is to Come; & from the 7 Spirits, [that] are [in front of] His throne. 

And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness, & the first begotten [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.

[Watch,] 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.

I, John, who was [on] the [island] that is called Patmos, for [sharing] the Word of God, & the testimony [about] Jesus Christ, & also am your brother, & companion in tribulation.

I was [led] [within] the [Holy] Spirit, on the Lord's Day, & heard behind me a great voice, [like from] a trumpet. Saying, I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the First & the Last: and Write in a Book, what you [see,] & send it to the 7 churches, [that] are in Asia, to: Ephesus; Smyrna; Pergamos; Thyatira; Sardis; Philadelphia, & to Laodicea. 

And I turned to see [to whom] the voice [belonged,] that [spoke] with me. And being turned, I saw 7 golden candlesticks, [a.k.a. lampstands.] [Zechariah 4:1-2 And the Angel, [who] talked with me, came again, & [woke] me [up,] [like] a man [who] is [awakened] out of his sleep. And [the Angel] said to me, What [do] you [see?] And I said, I have looked, & [saw] a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it. And [its stand] [had] 7 lamps [upon it,] & 7 [glass] pipes, to [cover] the 7 lamps, [that] are upon the top [of it.]

And in the [middle] of the 7 candlesticks, [I saw] One, [similar] to the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the [feet,] & [strapped around] the [chest] with a golden [belt.] His head & His hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And His eyes were [like] a flame of fire. And His feet [were] [similar] to fine brass, as if they [were] burned in a furnace. And His voice [was] [like] the sound of many waters. [Daniel 10:6 His body was also like beryl, [a.k.a. gem source of beryllium,] & His face [like] the appearance of lighting. And His eyes [are] [like] lamps of fire, & His arms & His feet [are] [similar] in [color] to polished brass. And the voice, [a.k.a. sound,] of His Words, [are] [like] the [voices] of a multitude.]

And He had 7 stars in His right hand. And out of His mouth, went a sharp, two- edged sword. And His [face] was [like] the sun [shines] in [its] strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet, [like] dead.  

And He laid His right hand upon me, saying to me, [Don't] fear. I Am the First & the Last. I Am He, [Who] Lives, & was dead. And [see,] I Am alive forevermore. Amen. 

And[I] have the keys of hell & death. Write the things [that] you [have] seen, & the things [that] are, & the things [that] shall be [after this,] [about] the mystery of the 7 stars [that] you [saw] in My right hand, & the 7 golden candlesticks.

The 7 stars are the Angels of the 7 churches. And the 7 candlesticks [that] you [saw] are the 7 churches.
