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 8:1-13 Opening the 7th Seal, & Sounding the 1st of the 4 Trumpets

 

Opening the 7th Seal, & Sounding the 1st of the 4 Trumpets

Revelation 8:1-13         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

And when He had opened the 7th seal, there was silence in heaven, [for] about half an hour. And I saw the 7 Angels, [who] stood [in front of] God. And 7 trumpets were given to them. 

And another Angel came, having the golden censer, [a.k.a. gold dispenser for incense,] & stood at the altar. And much incense was given to him there, [so] that he should offer it, upon the golden altar, which was [in front of] the throne, with the prayers of all [God's] saints. 

And with the prayers of [God's] saints, out of the Angel's hand, the smoke of the incense, ascended, [a.k.a. arose,] up, [in front of] God. And the Angel took the censer, & filled it with fire [from] the altar, & cast it to the earth. And there were: voices; [thundering; lightning;] & an earthquake. 

And the 7 Angels, prepared themselves to sound, [who] had the 7 trumpets. The 1st Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & there followed: hail & fire, [mixed] with blood. And [these] were cast upon the earth. And [1/3] of the trees [were] burnt up, & all the green grass was burnt up. 

And the 2nd Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & a great, [a.k.a. large,] mountain was cast into the sea, as [if to put it out like,] it [was] burning with fire, & [1/3] of the sea became blood, & [1/3] of the [living] sea creatures died. And [1/3] of the ships were destroyed. 

And the 3rd Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & a great, [a.k.a. large,] star fell from heaven, burning, [like] it [was] a lamp, & it fell upon: [1/3] of the rivers, & fountains, [a.k.a. springs,] of [water.] And the name of the star is called Wormwood, & [1/3] of the waters became wormwood. And many men died [from] the waters, because they were made bitter. [Exodus 15:23-24 And when they came to Marah, they couldn't drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. [That's why] the name of it was called Marah. And the people [grumbled] against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?] 

And the 4th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & [1/3] of the sun was [struck,] & [1/3] of the moon, & [1/3] of the stars. So [since a] [1/3] of them, [a.k.a. sun, moon, & stars,] was darkened, the day [didn't shine] for [1/3] of it, & [also] the night. [Isaiah 13:9-10 [Watch,] for the cruel Day of the Lord [comes,] with both: wrath & fierce anger, to [cause] the land [to be] desolate. And [the Lord God] shall destroy [its] sinners out of it. For the stars of heaven, & [its] constellations, shall not give their light. The sun shall be darkened, [when it rises,] & the moon shall not [allow its] light to shine.] 

And I [saw,] & heard an Angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, [a.k.a. distress,] to the [inhabitants] of the earth, [because] of [trumpets] [sounding] of the 3 other Angels, which are yet to sound. [Revelation 12:12 Therefore, rejoice you heavens, & you [who] dwell in them. Woe to the [inhabitants] of: the earth & the sea! For the devil [has] come down to you, having great wrath, because he [knows] that he [only has] a short time.]
