About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible::

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: 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.

Jeremiah 22:1-30 The New Heaven & A New Earth & No More Sorrow

 

The New Heaven & A New Earth & No More Sorrow 

Jeremiah 22:1-30                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this;] Go down to the house of [Judah's] king & speak this Word, there & say, You, O king of Judah, [who] sits upon the throne of David & 

your: servants & people, [who] enter in by these gates, Hear the Word of the Lord. 

The Lord says [this;] You, [carry out] judgment & righteousness & deliver the [plundered] out of the hand of the oppressor. And [you] [don't] do [what is] wrong & [don't] do [any] violence to the stranger, fatherless & widow & neither shed [the] blood of the innocent in this place. 

[Matthew 23:23 Woe to you, scribes, Pharisees & hypocrites! For you pay [the 10%] tithe of mint, anise & cumin & have [left out] the [more important] matters of the Law, [justice,] mercy & faith. These you [should] have done, [but don't] leave the other [things] undone.] 

For if you indeed do this thing, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house: kings sitting upon the throne of David & he, his servants & his people riding in chariots & on horses. *But if you won't hear these Words, I, Myself, swear, says the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation. 

[Matthew 23:37-38 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you, [who] kill the prophets & stone [those who] are sent to you. How often, I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen gathers her chickens under her wings & you would not! [Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me, [from now on, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord.] 

For the Lord says [this] to the king's house of Judah; You are Gilead to Me & the head of Lebanon. Yet, I surely will make you a wilderness & [uninhabited] cities. And I will prepare destroyers, everyone with his weapons against you. And they shall cut down your [best] cedars & [throw] them into the fire. [Jeremiah 21:14 But I will punish you according to the fruit [produced from] your [actions,] says the Lord.] 

And many nations shall pass by this city & every man shall say to his neighbor, [Why] has the Lord done [this,] to this great city? Then, they shall answer, Because they have [abandoned] the Covenant [contract] of the Lord their God & worshiped other gods & served them. 

[Don't] you weep for the dead, [nor mourn] him: but [severely] weep for him, [who] goes away & for he shall no [longer] return, nor see his native country. For the Lord says [this about] Shallum, [Josiah's] son, [Judah's] king, [who ruled] instead of Josiah, his father, [who] went out of this place.

He shall not return [there] anymore. But he shall die in the place [where] they have led him captive & shall no [longer] see this land. [Distress] to him, [who] builds his house [through what is unrighteous] & his [rooms] [by what is] wrong.

[Who] uses his neighbor's service, without wages & [doesn't pay] him for his work & says, I will build me a [big] house & large [rooms] & cuts [himself] out windows & [panels] it with cedar, painted with vermillion, [a.k.a. red.] 

[Numbers 35:33 So, you shall not [defile] the land [in which] you are: for blood defiles the land. And the land can't be cleansed [from] the blood that is shed [in it,] but [only] by the blood of him, [who] shed it.]

Shall you [rule,] because you [enclose] yourself in cedar? Didn't your father eat, drink & [delivered] judgment & justice & then it was well with him? He judged the [case] of the poor & needy. Then it [went] well with him. The Lord said, [Didn't his actions show he knew] Me? 

But your eyes & heart aren't [focused on Me,] but [are] for your [greed, shedding the] blood [of the] innocent, oppression & for violence & [doing] it. [Isaiah 5:13 Therefore, My people [have] gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge & their honorable men are [starving] & their multitude [are] dried up with thirst.] 

Therefore, the Lord says [this about] Jehoiakim, [Josiah's] son, [Judah's] king; They shall not [mourn] for him, saying, Ah, my brother! Or, Ah sister! They shall not [grieve] for him, saying, Ah, lord! Or, Ah, his glory! He shall be buried with the burial of [a mule that pulls carts] & is [thrown out,] beyond [Jerusalem's] gates.

[Daniel 1:1-2 In the 3rd year Jehoiakim, [Judah's] king, [ruled,] Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king, came to Jerusalem & [attacked] it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, [Judah's] king into [Nebuchadnezzar's] hand, with part of the vessels [from] the house of God, [that] he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. And [Nebuchadnezzar] brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.]

Go up to Lebanon & cry [out] & lift up your voice in Bashan. And cry [out] from the passages, [a.k.a. Abarim,] for all your lovers are destroyed. [Jeremiah 11:11-13 Therefore, the Lord says [this, Look,] I will bring [calamity] upon [those, who] shall not be able to escape. 

[Although] they cry [out] to Me, I won't [listen] to them. Then, the cities of Judah & [residents] of Jerusalem, shall go & cry [out] to the gods, to whom they offer incense. But they shall not save them, at all in their time of trouble.

O Judah, for your gods are according to the number of your cities. And you have [put] up altars, even altars to burn incense to Baal, according to the number of streets [in] Jerusalem.]

I [spoke] to you [during] your prosperity; but you said, I won't [listen.] That has been your [custom] from your youth, that you [don't] obey My voice. The wind shall eat up all your pastors & your lovers shall go into captivity. Then, you shall surely be ashamed & [confused] for all your wickedness. 

[Jeremiah 23:1-2 The Lord says, Woe to the pastors, [a.k.a. shepherds, who] destroy & scatter the sheep of My pasture! Therefore, the Lord God of Israel says this against the pastors, [who] feed My people; You have scattered My flock & driven them away & haven't visited them. [Watch,] I will visit upon you, [a.k.a. punish,] the evil of your [actions,] says the Lord.] 

O [residents] of Lebanon, [who make] your nest in the cedars, how gracious your [pains] shall be when they come upon you, [like] the pain of a woman in [childbirth!] The Lord says, As I live, [if] Coniah, [Jehoiakim's] son, [Judah's] king, were the signet [ring] upon My right hand, I would [still] pluck you up [off of there.] 

And I will [put] you into the hand of [those who] seek your life & into the hand of [those] whose face [causes you to be afraid,] even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king & into the hand of the Chadeans. And I will cast you & your mother, [who bore] you, out into another country, where you weren't born & you shall die there. 

But to the land, [in which] they desire to return, they shall not return [there.] Is this man, Coniah [like] a despised broken idol? Is he a vessel, [in which there] is no pleasure? [For this reason, he & his [descendants] are cast into a land [that] they [don't] know. O earth, earth, earth, hear the Word of the Lord.

The Lord says [this,] You write: This [is a] childless man, [who] shall not prosper [during] his [life:] for no man of his [offspring] sitting on the throne of David & ruling in Judah, shall prosper any more.
