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 20:1-15 The Devil, a.k.a. Satan, Was Cast into the Bottomless Pit for 1,000 years

 

The Devil, a.k.a. Satan, Was Cast into the Bottomless Pit for 1,000 years

Revelation 20:1-15         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

And I saw an Angel come down from heaven, having the key [to] the bottomless pit, & a great, [a.k.a. large or long,] chain in his hand. [Revelation 1:18 I Am He, [Who lives,] & was dead. And [see,] I Am alive forever more, & have the keys of hell & death. Amen.]

And [the Angel seized] the dragon, that old serpent, [a.k.a. snake, that] is the Devil, & Satan, & bound, [a.k.a. chained,] him 1,000 years, & cast him into the bottomless pit. [2 Peter 2:4 [Since] God [didn't spare] the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, & delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved [until] judgment.]

And shut him up, & [put] a seal upon him, [so] that he [would] no [longer] deceive the nations, [until] the 1,000 years [is] fulfilled. And after that, he must be [loosened,] a little [while.] 

And I saw thrones, and judgment was given to [those, who] sat upon them. And I saw the souls of [those, who] were beheaded for [their] witness, [a.k.a. testimony, about] Jesus, & the Word of God, & [who] hadn't worshiped the beast, & neither [worshiped] his image, [nor] had [they] received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. And they lived & [ruled] with Christ, 1,000 years. [Daniel 7:27 And under the whole heaven, the Kingdom, dominion, & greatness of the Kingdom, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, Whose Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom, & all dominions shall serve & obey Him.]

But the rest of the dead, [didn't live] again until the 1,000 years were [over.] This is the first resurrection. Blessed & Holy is he, [who has] part in the first resurrection. The second death [has] no power, on such, but they shall be priests of: God & Christ, & shall [rule] with Him 1,000 years. 

And when the 1,000 years are expired, [a.k.a. over,] Satan shall be [loosened] out of his prison. And shall go out to deceive the nations [that] are in the 4 quarters, [a.k.a. corners,] of the earth, Gog & Magog, to gather them together to battle. [Ezekiel 38:17-19 *The Lord God [says this; Are] you of whom I have spoken in [ancient times,] by My servants, the prophets of Israel, [who] prophesied [during] those days, [for] many years, that I would bring you against them? And the Lord God [says,] it shall [happen] at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, that My fury shall [show] upon My face. For I have spoken, Surely [on] that day, in My jealousy, & the fire of My wrath, there shall be a great shaking, [a.k.a. large earthquake,] in the land of Israel.]

The number of whom is [like] the sand of the sea. And they went up on the breadth of the earth & [surrounded around] the camp of the [Lord God's] saints, & the beloved city. And fire came down out of heaven, from God, & devoured, [a.k.a. destroyed,] them. [Isaiah 8:7-8 *Therefore, now [see,] the Lord [brings] up upon them the waters of the river, strong, & [mighty,] even the king of Assyria, [like a flood,] & all his glory. And he shall come up over all [its] channels, & go over all [its] [river] banks. And he shall pass through Judah. He shall pass over, & he shall even reach to the neck. And stretching out his wings, shall fill the breadth of your land, O [Emmanuel.]

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. [Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, & the false prophet with him, [who brought about] miracles before [the beast,] with which he deceived [those, who] had received the mark of the beast, & [those, who] worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone.]

And I saw a great, [a.k.a. magnificent,] white throne, & [He, Who] sat on it. The earth & the heaven fled away from [His] face. And there was no place found for them. [Revelation 6:12-14 And I [saw] when He had opened the 6th seal, & [looked,] & there was a great, [a.k.a. large or strong,] earthquake. And the sun became black [like] sackcloth [made from goats'] hair. And the moon became [like] blood. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree [casts, a.k.a. throws down, its upripe] figs, when [it's] shaken [by] a mighty wind. And the heaven departed [like] a scroll, when it's rolled together. And every mountain & island were moved out of their places.]

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 [from] those things, according to their works, [a.k.a. deeds,] which were written in the books. [Daniel 7:9-10 I [saw until] the thrones were cast, [a.k.a. thrown,] down, & the Ancient of Days [sat,] Whose garment was white as snow, & the hair of His head [was] like pure wool. His throne was like the firey flame, & His wheels [like] burning fire. A fiery stream issued, [a.k.a. flowed,] & came [out] from [in front of] Him, & [a] 1,000: thousands, [a.k.a. one million,] ministered to Him, & 10,000 x 10,000, [a.k.a. 100 million,] stood before Him, & the books were opened.]

And the sea gave up the dead, [that] were in it. And death & hell delivered up the dead, [that] were in them. And they, every man, were judged according to their works, [a.k.a. deeds.] [Isaiah 25:8 *He will swallow up death in victory, & the Lord God will wipe away tears from off, all faces. And He shall take away the rebuke, [a.k.a. reprimand,] of His people from off all the earth. For the Lord [has] spoken it.] 

And death & hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. [Malachi 4:1 *For [watch,] the day [comes,] that shall burn [like] an oven. And all the proud, [yes,] & all [who] do wickedly, shall be stubble. And the day [comes] that shall burn them up, & shall leave them neither root, nor branch, [says] the Lord of Hosts.] 

And [whoever] wasn't found written in the Book of Life, was cast into the lake of fire. [Matthew 13:41-43 The Son of Man shall send [out] His Angels, & they shall gather out of His Kingdom, all things that offend, & [those, who] do [what is:] [sinful,] & shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing & gnashing of teeth. Then, the righteous shall shine [out like] the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Who has ears to hear, let him hear.]
