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 14:1-20 An Angel Announces that the Great City of Babylon Has Fallen

 

An Angel Announces that the Great City of Babylon Has Fallen

Revelation 14:1-20         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

And I looked & [saw,] a Lamb, & with Him stood 144,000 [who] [have] His Father's Name written in their foreheads, on Mount Sion, [a.k.a. Zion.] [Revelation 22:3-4 And there shall be no more curse. But the throne of God, & the Lamb, shall be in it. And His servants shall serve Him. And they shall see His face. And His Name shall be in their foreheads.] And I looked & [saw,] a Lamb, & with Him stood 144,000 [who] [have] His Father's Name written in their foreheads, on Mount Sion, [a.k.a. Zion.] [Revelation 22:3-4 And there shall be no more curse. But the throne of God, & the Lamb, shall be in it. And His servants shall serve Him. And they shall see His face. And His Name shall be in their foreheads.] 

And I heard a voice from heaven, [like] the voice, [a.k.a. sound,] of many waters, & like the [sound] of a great, [a.k.a. a large,] thunder [storm.] And I heard the [sound] of harpers [playing] their harps. And they [sang like]it [was] a new song, [in front of] the: throne; the 4 beasts, [a.k.a. 4 Living Creatures;] & the elders. [Revelation 5:9 And they [sang] a new song, saying, You [are] worthy to take the Book, [a.k.a. scroll,] & to open [its] seals. For You [were] slain, & [have] Redeemed us by Your Blood, out of every [family;] tongue, [a.k.a. language;] people; & nation, to God.]

And no man could learn that song, [except] the 144,000, [who] were redeemed from the earth. These are [those, who] were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are [those, who] follow the Lamb [wherever] He [goes.] These were Redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits to God & to the Lamb. And no guile, [a.k.a. deceit,] [was] found in their mouth. For they are without fault, [a.k.a. blameless, in front of] the throne of God. [Ephesians 5:27 That [Christ] might present a glorious church to Himself, [without] spot; wrinkle; or any such thing. [So] that, it should be Holy & without blemish.] 

And I saw another Angel fly in the [middle] of heaven, & [had] the everlasting, [a.k.a. eternal,] Gospel to preach to: [those, who] dwell on the earth; & to every nation; [family;] tongue, [a.k.a. language;] & people, saying with a loud voice, Fear God, & give glory to Him. For the hour of His Judgment [has] come. And worship Him, [Who] made: heaven; earth; the sea; & the fountains of the waters. 

And another Angel followed there, saying, Babylon [has] fallen, [has] fallen, that great city, because she made all the nations drink [from] the wine of the wrath of her fornication, [a.k.a. adultery.] 

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 [from] the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, [a.k.a. isn't 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, have no rest day, nor night. Here are [those, who] keep [God's] commandments, & the Faith [in] Jesus, & here is the patience of the [Lord God's] saints: And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write: Blessed are the dead, [who] died in [their faith] in the Lord from [now on.] The [Holy] Spirit [says, Yes, so] that they may rest from their [labors, a.k.a. work,] [sharing their faith in Jesus Christ.] And their works, [a.k.a. deeds,] follow them. [Revelation 2:25-26 But hold fast, a.k.a. tight,] [to] [what] you already have, [until] I come. And I will give power over the nations to him, [who overcomes,] & [keeps] [doing] My work work [until] the end.]

And I looked, & [saw] a white cloud, & upon the cloud sat One like to the Son of Man, having a golden crown on His head, & a sharp sickle, in His hand. And another Angel came out of the temple, crying [out] with a loud voice to Him, [Who] sat on the cloud, Thrust in Your sickle, & reap. For the time [has] come for You to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. 

And He, [Who] sat on the cloud, thrust in His sickle on the earth; & the earth was reaped, [a.k.a. harvested.] And another Angel came out of the temple, [that] is in heaven. He also [had] a sharp sickle. And out from the altar, another Angel came, [who] had power over fire, & cried [out] to Him, [Who] had that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in Your sharp sickle, & gather the clusters [from] the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

And the Angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, & gathered the vine [from] the earth, & cast it into the great wine-press of the wrath, [a.k.a. fury,] of God. And the wine-press was [trampled outside] the city. And blood came out of the wine-press, even [up] to the horse bridles, [over] the space of: 1,600 furlongs.
