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 17:1-18 What the Seven Heads & Ten Horses Mean

 

What the Seven Heads & Ten Horses Mean

Revelation 17:1-18         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

And one of the 7 Angels, [who] had the 7 vials, came there, & talked with me, saying to me, Come, [here.] I will [declare] to you the judgment of the great [unfaithful harlot, who sits] upon many waters. [Deuteronomy 31:16 And the Lord said to Moses, [Watch,] you [shall] sleep with your [forefathers,] & this people will rise up, & go [like an] [unfaithful harlot] after the gods of the strangers of the land, & [where] they go to be among them, & will forsake, [a.k.a. abandon,] Me, & break My Covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] that I have made with them.]

With whom the [earth's] kings have committed fornication, [a.k.a. infidelity,] & the [earth's] inhabitants have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication, [a.k.a. adultery.] [Revelation 2:22 [Watch,] I will cast her into a bed, & [those, who] commit adultery with her into great tribulation, [unless] they repent of their deeds.] 

So, [the Angel] carried me away in the [Holy] Spirit, into the wilderness. And I saw a woman [sitting] upon a scarlet, [a.k.a. red, colored] beast, having 7 heads & 10 horns, full of names of blasphemy, [a.k.a. disrespectful language to the Lord God.] [Revelation 12:3 And another wonder, [a.k.a. sign,] appeared there in heaven. And [look,] a great, [a.k.a. large,] red dragon, having 7 heads, & 7 crowns upon his heads, & 10 horns.] 

And the woman was [clothed] in purple & scarlet [colors,] & [adorned] with: gold; precious stones; & pearls, & [had] a golden cup in her hand full of abominations, & filthiness [from] her fornication, [a.k.a. adultery.] [Revelation 18:15-18 The merchants of these things, [who] were made rich by her, shall stand weeping, & wailing, [far away,] for fear of her torment. And [say,] Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in: fine linen; purple; & scarlet; & [decorated] with: gold; precious stones; & pearls! For in 1 hour, [such] great riches [have] come to [nothing.] And every ship-master, [a.k.a. captain,] & all the company, [a.k.a. fleet,] of ships, & sailors, & as many as trade [at] sea, stood [far away,] & cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is [similar] to this great city!] 

And upon her forehead a name was written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman [drunk] with the blood of: the saints & [Jesus'] martyrs, [a.k.a. people, who would rather die than renounce their religious principles.] 

And when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration, [a.k.a. regard with wonder.] [Revelation 6:9-10 And when He had opened the 5th seal, I saw [before] the altar, the souls of [those, who] were [killed,] for [sharing] the Word of God, & for [sharing] the testimony [about Jesus Christ,] which they held. And they cried [out] with a loud voice, saying, O Lord Holy & True, How long [is it that] You [don't] judge, & avenge our blood, on [those, who] dwell on the earth?] 

And the Angel said to me, [For what reason, do] you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, & the beast, [that has] the 7 heads, & 10 horns. The beast that you [saw] was, is not, & shall ascend, [a.k.a. go up,] out of the bottomless pit, & shall go into perdition, [a.k.a. destruction.] 

And [those, who] dwell on the earth shall wonder. [Those,] whose names weren't written from the foundation, [a.k.a. creation,] of this world, in the Book of Life. When they [saw] the beast that was, & is not, & [still] is. [Revelation 13:8-18 And all, [whose] names aren't written in the Book of Life, [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. And I [saw] another beast coming up, out of the earth. And he had 2 horns, like a lamb, & he [spoke like] a dragon. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.]

And here is the mind [that] has wisdom. The 7 heads are 7 mountains, on which the woman [sits.] And there are 7 kings, & 5 have] fallen & 1 is, & the other, [hasn't] come yet. And when he [comes,] he must continue, a short [time.] [Revelation 13:4-6 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.] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme: His Name, & [the Lord God's] tabernacle, & [those, who] dwell in heaven.]

And the beast that was, & is not, he even is the 8th [ruler] & is [from] the 7 [rulers,] & goes into perdition. And the 10 horns [that] you [saw] are 10 kings, [who haven't] received [any] kingdom yet; but receive power one hour with the beast, [like] kings. [Daniel 7:20-23 And [about:] the 10 horns that were in [its] head, & the other [horn] [that] came up, & [in front of] whom 3 [horns] fell, even that horn that had eyes, & a mouth that [spoke] great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] things, whose [appearance] was more [stern] than his [companions.] I [watched,] & the same horn made war with [God's] saints, & prevailed against them; until the Ancient of Days, [a.k.a. the Lord God,] & judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] was given to the saints of the Most High. And the time came that the saints possessed the Kingdom. [That's why] he said, the 4th beast shall be the 4th kingdom upon [the] earth, & shall be [different] from all kingdoms, & shall devour the whole earth, & shall [trample] it down, & break it in pieces.] 

These have 1 mind, & shall give their power & strength to the beast. [Daniel 8:24-25 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. And he shall destroy wonderfully, [a.k.a. amazingly.] And he shall prosper, & practice, [a.k.a. rehearse,] & shall destroy the mighty & the holy people. And through his policy, he shall also cause craft, [a.k.a. business,] to prosper in his hand. And he shall magnify himself in his heart. And by [professing] peace, shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, [a.k.a. Jesus Christ;] but he shall be broken without [a helping] hand.]

These shall make war with the Lamb, & the Lamb shall overcome them. For He is Lord of lords, & King of kings. And [those, who] are with Him are: called; chosen; & faithful. 

And [the Angel] said to me, The waters [that] you [saw] where the [unfaithful harlot sits,] are: peoples; multitudes; nations; & tongues, [a.k.a. different languages.] And the 10 horns [that] you [saw] upon the beast, shall hate the [unfaithful harlot,] & shall make her desolate & naked. And shall eat her flesh, & burn her, [a.k.a. that great city,] with fire. For God [has] put in their hearts to fulfill His will, & to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the Words of God shall be fulfilled. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord isn't slack, [a.k.a. slow,] concerning His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. *But the Day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise. And the elements shall melt with fervent heat, & also the earth, & the works, [a.k.a. things made,] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.] 

And the woman [that] you [saw,] is that great city, [that rules] over the kings of the earth. [Revelation 18:23-24 And the light of a candle, shall no [longer] shine in you, at all. And the voice of the: bride-groom, & bride, shall no [longer] be heard at all in you. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, [but] all nations were deceived by your sorceries. And in her, [a.k.a. the great city, was] found the blood of: prophets; saints; & all who were [killed] upon the earth.]
