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 9:1-21 One of the Three Woes

 

One of the Three Woes

Revelation 9:1-21         The Revelation of Jesus Christ [in Smaller Chunks]

And the 5th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & I saw a star fall from heaven to earth. [Luke 10:17-18 And the 70 [additional disciples] returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the [demons] are subject to us, through Your Name. And [Jesus Christ] said to them, I [saw] Satan fall from heaven, [like] lightning [falls.]

And the key to the bottomless pit was given [to the] [5th Angel.] And he opened the bottomless pit. And smoke arose out of the pit there, [like] smoke [rises] [from] a [large] furnace. And the sun & the air were darkened, [because] of the smoke [from] the pit. 

And out of the smoke, locusts came upon the earth there. And to [the locusts,] was given power, [like] the scorpions of the earth have power. [Exodus 10:12-14 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand for the locusts, over the land of Egypt. [So] that, they may come up upon the land of Egypt, & eat every herb, [a.k.a. all vegetation,] of the land, even all that the hail [has] left. And Moses stretched [out] his rod over the land of Egypt, & all that: day, & night, the Lord brought an East wind upon the land. And when it was morning, the East wind brought the locusts. And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, & rested in all of [Egypt's] coasts. [The locusts] were very grievous. [Prior] [to] them, there were no locusts such as [these,] & neither shall such be after them.] 

And it was commanded that they shouldn't hurt, [a.k.a. harm:] the grass of the earth; any green thing; & any tree; but only those men, [who don't] have the seal of God in their foreheads. 

And to [the locusts] it was given that they shouldn't kill them, but that they should be tormented 5 months. And their torment was [like] the torment of a scorpion, when he [strikes] a man. And [during] those days, men shall seek death, & shall not find it, & shall desire to die, & death shall flee from them. 

And the shapes of the locusts were [similar] to: horses prepared to [go to] battle. And on their heads were, [like they] were gold crowns. And their faces were [like] the faces of men. And they had hair [like] the hair of women, & their teeth were [like lions'] teeth. And they had breastplates, [like they] were iron breastplates. 

And the sound of their wings was [like] the sound of chariots, [with] many horses running to battle. And they had tails, [similar] to scorpions, & their tails [stung.] And their power was to hurt men [for] 5 months. 

And they had a king over them, [who] is the Angel of the bottomless pit. Whose name in the Hebrew tongue, [a.k.a. language,] is Abaddon, but in the Greek [language,] his name [is] Apollyon. One woe, [a.k.a. distress,] is past. And, [look,] 2 more woes come [afterwards.]

And the 6th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & from the 4 horns of the golden altar, [that] is [in front of] God, I heard a voice, saying to the 6th Angel, [who] had the trumpet, [Loosen,] the 4 Angels [that] are bound in the great Euphrates River. 

And the 4 Angels were [loosened, who] were prepared for [a] [specific:] hour; day; month; & year, to slay [1/3] of men. And the number of the horsemen [for] the army [was:] two hundred thousand, thousand, [a.k.a. 200 million,] & I heard the number of them. 

And in the vision, I saw the horses, & [those, who] sat on them [like this:] having beast-plates of: fire; jacinth; & brimstone. And the [horses'] heads were [like lions'] heads. 

And fire, smoke, & brimstone, issued, [a.k.a. proceeded,] out of their mouths. [1/3] of men, [were] killed by these 3: by the fire; smoke; & brimstone, [that proceeded] out of their mouths. [Ezekiel 38:22 *And I will plead against [them,] with: pestilence & [bloodshed;] & I will rain [down] on [them, their groups,] & many people, [who] are with [them,] [with] an overflowing rain; [large] hailstones; fire; & brimstone.]

For [the locusts'] power is in their: mouth, & tails. For their tails were [similar] to serpents, & they had heads, & hurt with [their mouths.] 

And the rest of the men, [who] weren't killed by these plagues, [but] [still didn't repent] of the works [made] [from] their hands, that they shouldn't worship: [demons,] & idols of: gold; silver; brass; stone; & wood, [that can't:] see, hear, nor walk. Neither [did] they [repent] of their: murders; sorceries; fornication, [a.k.a. adultery;] nor [did they repent] of their thefts. 

[Revelation 22:12-15 *[Watch,] I come quickly, & 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.]
