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 22:1-21 A Pure River of the Water of Life

 

A Pure River of the Water of Life

Revelation 22:1-21         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

And [the Angel showed] me a pure river of [the] Water of Life, crystal clear, proceeding, [a.k.a. coming] out [from] the throne of God & the Lamb. [Ezekiel 47:9 *And it shall [happen,] that everything that [lives,] & [moves, wherever] the rivers shall come, there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come [there.] For they shall be healed, & everything shall live [where] the river [comes.] 

In the midst of [its] street, & on either side of the river, there was the Tree of Life, [that bares:] 12 [types] of fruits, & yielded, [a.k.a. produced, its] fruit every month. [Ezekiel 47:7 *Now, when I had returned, [I] [saw, on] the bank of the river, [there] were very many trees on the one side & on the other.]

And the [tree's] leaves were for the healing of the nations. [Revelation 2:7 I will give to him, [who overcomes, to eat [from] the Tree of Life, [that] is in the midst of the Paradise of God. Let him, [who has] an ear, hear what the [Holy] Spirit [says] to the churches.] 

And there shall no [longer] be [a] curse. But the throne of God & the Lamb shall be in it. And His servants shall serve Him. [Revelation 7:13-15 And one of the elders answered, & [said] to me, [Who] are [those, who] are [clothed] in white robes? And [where] [did] they [come] [from?] And I said to him, Sir, you [know.] And he said to me, These are [those, who] came out of great tribulation, & have washed their robes, & made them white in the Blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are [in front of] the throne of God, & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who sits] on the throne shall dwell among them.]

And they shall see His face; & His Name shall be in their foreheads. [Revelation 7:2-4 And I saw another Angel ascending from the East, having the seal of the Living God. And he cried [out] with a loud voice to the 4 Angels, to whom it was given to [harm] the earth & the sea. Saying, [Don't] [harm] the: earth; sea; nor the trees, [until] we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of [those, who] were sealed: 144,000 [from] all the tribes of the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel.] 

And there shall be no night there. And they [shall] [not] need [any] candle, neither light [from] the sun. For the Lord God [gives] them Light, & they shall [rule] forever & ever. [Isaiah 60:19-20 *The sun shall no [longer] be your light by day; & neither shall the moon give light to you for brightness. But the Lord shall be an everlasting Light to you, & [be] your God, & your Glory. The sun shall no [longer] go down; & neither shall your moon withdraw itself. For the Lord shall be your everlasting Light & your days of mourning shall be ended.]

And he said to me, These sayings are Faithful & True. And the Lord God of the Holy prophets, sent His Angel to [declare] to His servants the things [that] must be done shortly. [Revelation 1:1-2 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, [that] God gave to Him, to [declare] 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.] 

Watch,] I come quickly. Blessed is he, [who keeps] the sayings of the prophecy of this Book. And I, John, saw these things & heard them. And when I had heard & seen, I fell down to worship [in front of] the feet of the Angel, [who declared] these things [to] me. Then, he said to me, See [that] you [don't] do it, [a.k.a. worship him.] For I am your fellow-servant, & [from] your brethren, the prophets, & [from those, who] keep the sayings of this Book, & worship God. *And he [said] to me, [Don't] seal the sayings of the prophecy of this Book: for the time is at hand. [Daniel 8:26 *And the [visions] of the evening, & the morning [that were] told [are] True. [For this reason,] you, shut up the vision; for it, [a.k.a. what happens in the vision,] shall be for many days, [a.k.a. years.]

He, [who] is unjust, let him still be unjust. And he, [who] is filthy, [a.k.a. morally revolting,] let him still be filthy. And he, [who] is righteous, let him still be righteous. And he, [who] is Holy, let him still be Holy.] [Daniel 12:10 *Many shall be purified, [a.k.a. cleansed,] & made white, & tried, [a.k.a. tested.] But the wicked, shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand. But the wise shall understand.]

*And, [watch,] I come quickly. And My reward is with Me, & shall be to give every man according [like] his work, [a.k.a. deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning, & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those, who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life, & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs; sorcerers; [sexual traffickers;] murderers; idolaters; & [whoever loves] & [makes] [up] [lies.] 

I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify these things to you in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring, [a.k.a. from the lineage,] of David, & the Bright & Morning Star. And the [Holy] Spirit, & the bride say, Come. And let him, [who hears,] say, Come. And let him, [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever] [is] [willing,] let him freely take the Water of Life. [John 4:11-14 The woman [said] to [Jesus,] Sir, you [have] nothing to draw [water] with, & the well is deep. From [where] then, [do] You have that Living Water? [Are] you greater than our [forefather] Jacob, [who] gave us the well, & drank [from it,] himself, & his children, & his cattle? Jesus answered & said to her, [Whoever drinks from] this water shall thirst again. But [whoever drinks from] the water that I shall give him, shall never thirst. But the water that I shall give him shall be, [within] him, a well of water springing up into Everlasting Life.]

For I testify to every man, [who hears] the Words of the prophecy of this Book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this Book. [Deuteronomy 4:2-3 *You shall not add to the Word [that] I command you, & neigher shall you diminish, [a.k.a. reduce, anything] from it, [so] that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God, [that] I command you. Your eyes have seen what the Lord did, because of Baal Peor. For all the men, [who] followed Baal Peor, the Lord your God [has] destroyed them from among you.]

And if any man shall take away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part, [a.k.a portion,] out of the Book of Life, & out of the Holy City, & from the things [that] are written in this Book. [Exodus 32:33 *And the Lord said to Moses, [Whoever has] sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My Book.] 

He, [Who testifies] these things [says,] Surely, I come quickly.  Amen. 

Even so, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
