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 13:1-18 The Beast that Had the Deadly Wound, That was Healed

 

The Beast that Had the Deadly Wound, That was Healed

Revelation 13:1-18         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

And I stood upon the sand of the [seashore,] & saw a beast rise up, out of the sea, having 7 heads, & 10 horns, & 10 crowns upon his horns, & the name of blasphemy [was] upon his heads. [Daniel 7:7-8 After this, in the night visions, I [also] saw a 4th beast, dreadful; terrible; & exceedingly strong. And it had [large] iron teeth & it devoured; [broke into] pieces; & [trampled what remained] with [his] feet. And it was [different] from all the beasts that were before, [a.k.a. prior to,] it. And it had 10 horns. I considered the horns, & [saw] another little horn come up there among them, before whom there were 3 of the 1st horns, [pulled] up by the roots. And, [saw] in this [little] horn [there] were eyes, like the eyes of [a] man, & a mouth, speaking great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] things.]

And the beast [that] I saw was [similar] to a leopard. And his feet were [like] the feet of a bear, & his mouth, [like] the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave his power [to] him, & his seat, [a.k.a. throne,] & great authority. [Daniel 7:3-6 Daniel [spoke] & said, In my vision [at] night, I [looked,] & saw the 4 winds [from] the heaven, strove, [a.k.a. vigorously struggled,] upon the Great Sea, [a.k.a. the Mediterranean Sea.] And 4 great, [a.k.a. large,] beasts came up from the sea, [different] from one another. The 1st was like a lion, & had eagle's wings. I [looked until its] wings were plucked [off] & it was lifted up from the earth, & [was] made to stand upon [its] feet, [like] a man. And a man's heart was given to it. And [I] [saw] another beast, a 2nd, [similar] to a bear. And it raised itself up on 1 side. And it had 3 ribs in [its] mouth, between [its] teeth. And they said [this] to it, Arise, & devour much flesh. After this, I [looked] & [saw] another, [beast] [similar] to a leopard, [that] had 4 wings of a [bird] upon [its] back. The beasts also had 4 heads, & dominion, [a.k.a. authority,] was given to it.]

And I saw 1 of his heads, [like] it [was] wounded to death; & his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered, after, [a.k.a. about,] the beast. And they worshiped the dragon, [that] gave power to the beast. And they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is [similar] to the beast? Who is able to make war with him? And there was given to him, a mouth speaking great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] things & blasphemies, [a.k.a. saying disrespectful things about the Lord God.] And power was given to him, to continue 42 months, [a.k.a. 3 1/2 years.] [Daniel 7:24-26 And the 10 horns [from] this kingdom, are 10 kings that shall arise. And another shall rise after them, & he shall be [different] from the 1st. And he shall subdue, [a.k.a. bring under control by persuasion or force,] 3 kings. And he shall speak, great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] words against the Most High, & shall wear out the saints of the Most High & think to change times & Laws: & they shall be given into his hand until a time, & times, and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, [a.k.a. stand, or wait,] & they shall take away his dominion, [a.k.a. authority, or power,] to consume & to destroy it, [until] the end.]

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme: His Name, & [the Lord God's] tabernacle, & [those, who] dwell in heaven. [Daniel 11:34-36 Now, when they shall fall, they shall be [helped,] with a little [assistance.] But many shall [cling] to [those, who flatter.] And some of [those] [with] understanding shall fall, to try, [a.k.a. test,] them, & to purge, [a.k.a. cleanse,] them, & make them white, even [until] the time of the end. Because it is [still] for [an] appointed time. And the king shall do according to his will. And he shall exalt & magnify himself, above every god, & shall speak [arrogant] things against the God of gods. And [he] shall prosper [until] the indignation [is] accomplished. For [what] is determined, shall be done.] 

And it was given to him to make war with the [Lord God's] saints, & to overcome them. And power was given [to] him over all: [families;] tongues, [a.k.a. languages;] & nations. And all, [whose] names aren't written in the Book of Life, [from] the  from the foundation, [a.k.a. creation,] of the world, [by] the Lamb, [Who was] slain. 

If any man [has] an ear, let him hear. Here is the patience & the faith of the [Lord God's] saints: He, [who leads] [others] into captivity, shall go into captivity; & he [who kills by] the sword, must be killed with the sword. [Jeremiah 15:2 *And it shall [happen,] & if they say to you, [Where] shall we go [out?] Then, you shall tell them, The Lord [says this; Such, [a.k.a. Some, who] are [determined] for death, [shall go by] death. [Some, who] are [determined] for the sword, [shall go by] the sword. [Some, who] are [determined] for famine, [shall go by] the famine. [Some, who] are [determined] for captivity, [shall go into] captivity.]

And I [saw] another beast coming up, out of the earth. And he had 2 horns, like a lamb, & he [spoke like] a dragon. [Revelation 11:7 And when [the Lord God's 2 Witnesses,] have finished their Testimony, [about Jesus Christ,] the beast that [ascends, a.k.a. goes up,] out of the bottomless pit, shall make war against them, & shall overcome them, & kill them.] 

And he [exercises, a.k.a. carries out,] all the power of the 1st beast, [prior to] him, & [causes] the earth, & [those, who] dwell [there,] to worship the 1st beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he [does] great wonders, [a.k.a. miracles,] so that he, in the sight of men, [makes] fire come down from heaven, [onto] the earth. And [deceives those, who] dwell on the earth, by [way] of those miracles, [that] he had power to do in the sight of the beast. [2 Corinthians 11:13-15 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. Therefore, it's no great thing, if [Satan's] ministers, whose end shall be according to their works, [a.k.a. deeds, are] also transformed [like] the ministers of righteousness.] 

Saying to [those, who] dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, [that] had the wound, by a sword, & [lived.] And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, [so] that, the image of the beast should both: speak, & cause as many to be killed, as wouldn't worship the image of the beast. [Exodus 20:4-6 You [shall] not make [for yourself,] any [carved] image, or any likeness of anything that is in: heaven above; the earth [below;] or in the water under the earth. You [shall] not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, Am a Jealous God, visiting the [sin] of the fathers upon the children [until] the 3rd, & 4th generation of [those, who] hate Me. And [demonstrate] mercy to 1,000's of [those, who] love Me, & keep My commandments.] 

And he [caused] all, both: [powerless & powerful;] rich & poor; free & bond, [a.k.a. slaves;] to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads.          [2 Thessalonians 2:4 Who [opposes & exalts] himself above all that [are] called God, or that [are] worshiped, [so] that he [is] [like] God [sits] in the temple of God, [declaring] that he, himself, is God.] 

And that no man might buy or sell, [unless] he had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [Revelation 14:9-11 And the 3rd angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image, & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same [person] shall drink the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, [a.k.a. it's not watered down,] into the cup of [God's] indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice.] And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels, & in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends up forever & ever. And [those] who worship the beast & his image, & [whoever receives] the mark of his name, [shall] have no rest day, nor night.] 

Here is wisdom. Let him, [who has] understanding count the number of the beast. For it is the number of a man; & his number is 666. [Revelation 15:2-3 And I saw [like] it were a sea of glass mingled, [a.k.a. mixed,] with fire. And [those, who] had gotten victory over the beast; over his image; & over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, & [have] the harps of God. And they [sing] the song of Moses, the servant of God, & the song of the Lamb, saying, Great & [marvelous,] are Your works, [a.k.a. miracles,] Lord God Almighty. You, King of saints, Just, [a.k.a. fair,] & True are Your ways.]
