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 25:1-38 For Choosing to Worship False gods, They Will Go to Babylon 70 Years

 

For Choosing to Worship False gods, They Will Go to Babylon 70 Years 

Jeremiah 25:1-38                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word that came to Jeremiah [about] all the people of Judah, [during] the 4th year Jehoiakim, [Josiah's] son, [ruled as] [Judah's] king. That was the 1st year, Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, [ruled.]

Jeremiah, the prophet, [spoke] [this] to all the people of Judah & all the [residents] of Jerusalem, saying, From the 13th year of Josiah, [Amon's] son, [Judah's] king [ruled,] even [until] this day, that is the 23rd year. 

The Word of the Lord has come to me & I have spoken to you, rising early [to warn] & speaking, but you haven't [paid attention.] [Jeremiah 11:7 For I [vigorously] protested to your [forefathers on] that day, that I brought them up, out of the land of Egypt, even [until] this day, rising early & protesting, saying, Obey My voice.] 

And the Lord has sent to you all His servants, the prophets, rising early [to warn] & sending them, but you haven't [listened,] nor [leaned] your ear to hear. [Jeremiah 11:9-10 And the Lord said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah & the [residents] of Jerusalem. 

They have turned back to their [forefathers' sins, who] refused to hear My Words & they went after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel & the house of Judah have broken My covenant [contract, that] I made with their [forefathers.]

They said, Now, everyone [of] you [return] again from his evil way & evil [actions] & dwell in the land that the Lord has given to you & to your [forefathers] forever & ever. And [don't] go after other gods to serve & worship them. And [don't] provoke Me to anger with the works [made] of your hands & I won't [harm] you. 

[Still,] you haven't [paid attention] to Me, says the Lord; that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hand, to your own [harm.] Therefore, the Lord of Hosts says [this;] Because you haven't heard My Words, [Look,] I will send [for] & take all families of the North, says the Lord. 

And [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, My servant, will bring them against this land & [its] inhabitants. And against all these nations [around it] & will [totally] destroy them & make them an astonishment, [to be hissed at,] & [continually desolate.] 

[Matthew 23:37-39 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.]

[Additionally, I will take the [sound] of [happiness] from them & the [voices] of gladness of the bridegroom & the bride & the sound of the millstones [grinding] & the light [from] the candle.

[Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall no [longer] shine in you at all. And the [voices] of the bridegroom & the bride, shall no [longer] be heard in you at all. For your merchants were the great men of the earth; [but] all nations were deceived, by your sorceries.]

And this whole land shall be a desolation & an astonishment. And these nations shall serve [Babylon's] king 70 years. [Daniel 9:2 In the 1st year, [he ruled,] I, Daniel, understood the number of years by the books, [of which] the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, [so] that he would accomplish 70 years of desolation in Jerusalem.] 

The Lord says, And it shall [happen,] when 70 years are [completed,] that I will punish [Babylon's] king & that nation for their [sin] & will make the land of the Chaldeans, perpetual desolations. 

And I will bring all My Words upon that land, [that] I have [declared] against it, even all that Jeremiah has prophesied that is written in this book, against all the nations. For many nations & great kings shall [make them their servants] to serve them. 

Also, I will [repay] them according to their deeds & [according] to the works of their own hands. [2 Kings 19:17-18 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations & their lands. And have cast their gods into the fire. For they weren't gods, but the work of men's hands, wood & stone. Therefore, they destroyed them.] 

For the Lord God of Israel says [this] to me, Take the wine cup of this fury [from] My hand & cause all the nations, to drink it, to whom I send you. [Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation & he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels & in the presence of the Lamb.] 

And they shall drink & be [shaken] & [insane], because of the sword that I will send among them. [Deuteronomy 28:33-34 A nation [that] you [don't] know, shall eat up the fruit of your land & all your labors. And you shall [continue to] be oppressed & always crushed. So that, you shall be [driven] mad, by the sight of your eyes, [that] you shall see.] 

Then, I took the cup [from] the Lord's hand & made all the nations drink, to whom the Lord had sent me. [That is,] Jerusalem & [Judah's] cities & [its] kings & princes, to make them: [desolate, astonished, hissed at & cursed,] as it is this day.

[These] shall drink after them: Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king & his princes, servants & all his people & all the [mixed] people & all the kings of the land of: Uz, the Philistines, Ashkelon, Azzah, Ekron & the [rest] of Ashdod.

[And] Edom, Moab & the children [people] of Ammon & all the kings of: Tyrus, Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon] & the [coastal islands, that] are beyond the sea, Dedan, Tema & Buz & all that are in the [furthest] corners. 

And all the kings of: Arabia & all the kings of: the mixed people [who] dwell in the desert. And all the kings of: Zimri, Elam & the Medes. And all the kings of: the North, far & near, one with another & all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the [surface] of the earth. 

Therefore, you shall say to them, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this;] You, drink & be [drunk] & [hurl] & fall & no [longer] rise, because of the sword [that] I will send among you. [Isaiah 63:6 And I will [trample] down the people in [My] anger & make them drunk in My fury & I will bring their strength down to the [ground.]

And it shall [happen,] if they refuse to take the cup [from] your hand to drink, then, you shall say to them, The Lord of Hosts says [this;] You shall certainly drink. For, [look,] I begin to bring [calamity] on the city which is called by My Name & should you [go totally] unpunished? 

You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the Lord of Hosts. Therefore, you prophesy all these Words against them.

And say to them, The Lord shall roar from on high & [speak with] His voice from His holy habitation. He shall roar mightily [from] His habitation. He shall shout, against all the [earth's] inhabitants, [like those who trample] the grapes. 

[Revelation 9:20-21 And the rest of the men, [who] weren't killed by these [plagues, still didn't repent] of the works [made from] their hands, [so] that they shouldn't worship [demons] & idols of: gold, silver, brass, stone & wood, [that] can neither: see, hear, nor walk.]

A noise shall come, even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord has a controversy with the nations & He will plead with all [humans.] He will give [those who] are wicked, to the sword, says the Lord.

[Revelation 22:12-15 And, [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give every man according [to] his deeds. I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they 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 makes up & loves lies.]

The Lord of Hosts says [this, Look, disaster] shall go [out] from nation to nation & a [large tornado] shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the [dead] of the Lord, shall be from one end of the earth, even to the other [on] that day. 

They shall not be [mourned,] neither gathered, nor buried. They shall be [like human fertilizer] upon the ground. [Isaiah 34:2-3 For the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations & His fury, upon all their armies. He has [totally] destroyed them. He has delivered them to the slaughter. Also, their slain shall be cast out & their stink shall come up out of their [corpses] & their blood shall [pour down] the mountains.]

Howl & cry [out,] you shepherds & wallow yourselves in the ashes. You [leaders] of the flock: for the days of your slaughter & your [scattering] are accomplished. And you shall fall like a pleasant [clay vase shatters.] 

And the shepherds & the [leaders] of the flock shall have no way to flee & escape. A [sound] of the [shepherd's out] cry shall be heard, [because] the Lord has [plundered] their pasture. [Ezekiel 34:2-6 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. The Lord God says [this] to the shepherds; Woe to the shepherds of Israel, [who] feed themselves! Shouldn't the shepherds feed the flocks?

You eat the fat & you clothe [yourselves] with the wool. You kill [those] that are fed, but you don't feed the flock. You haven't strengthened the diseased & neither have you healed [those] that [were] sick. Neither have you [bandaged] up [those] that [were] broken. Neither have you brought again, [those] that [were] driven away.

Neither have you [searched] for [those] that [were] lost; but you have ruled them with force & cruelty. And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became meat to all the [animals] of the field, when they were scattered.]

And the [peaceful] habitations are cut down, because of the [Lord's] fierce anger. He has [abandoned] His [home, like] the lion. [In] His fierce anger, their land is desolate, because of the fierceness of the oppressor.
