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.

Daniel 7:1-28 Daniel's Vision of the 4 Large Beasts

 

Daniel's Vision of the 4 Large Beasts 

Daniel 7:1-28                    The Book of Daniel [in Smaller Chunks]

During the 1st year of Belshazzar, [Babylon's] king, Daniel has a dream upon his bed & visions [in] his head. Then, he wrote [it down] & told [all] the [details] of the dream. Daniel [spoke] & said, In my vision [at] night, I saw the 4 winds of the [heavens, vigorously struggled] upon the Great Sea, [a.k.a. the Mediterranean Sea.] 

[Revelation 20:7-9 And when the 1,000 years are [over,] Satan shall be [loosened] out of his prison, & shall go out to deceive the nations, [that] are in the 4 quarters, [a.k.a. corners] of the earth, & [surrounded around] the camp of the saints, & the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven & devoured them.]

And 4 [large] beasts came up from the sea, [different] from one another. The 1st was like a lion, & had eagle's wings. I [looked until] the wings of it were plucked [off] & it was lifted up from the earth, & was made to stand upon [its] feet, [like] a man. And a man's heart was given to it.

And [I] [saw] another 2nd beast, [similar] to a bear. And it raised up itself on one side & it had 3 ribs in [its] mouth, between [its] teeth. And they said [this] to it, Arise & devour much flesh. After this, I [looked] & [saw] another [beast,] like a leopard, [that] had 4 wings of a [bird] upon [its] back. 

The beast also had 4 heads, & dominion, [a.k.a. control or domination,] was given to it. [Daniel 11:3-4 And a mighty king shall stand up, [who] shall rule with great dominion & do according to his will. 

And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken & shall be divided toward the 4 winds of heaven & not to his posterity, [a.k.a.descendants,] nor according to his dominion [that] he ruled. For his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others [besides] those.]

After this, I also saw in the night visions, a 4th beast, dreadful, terrible, & exceedingly strong. And it had [large] iron teeth, & it devoured, [broke into] pieces & [trampled what remained] with [its] feet. And it was [different] from all the beasts that were before it & it had 10 horns.

I [thought about] the horns, & [saw,] another little horn came up there, among them. Before whom, the first 3 horns were plucked up by [their] roots. And [I] saw eyes in this horn [that] were like the eyes of a man & a mouth, speaking great, [a.k.a. arrogant] things. 

[Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; & he shall exalt himself, & magnify himself above every god, & shall speak marvelous, [a.k.a. astonishing,] things against the God of gods. And [he] shall prosper, [until] the indignation [is] accomplished: for [what] is determined shall be done.] 

I [watched until] the thrones were [thrown] down & the Ancient of Days [sat,] Whose garment was white as snow, & the hair of his head [was] like pure wool. His throne was like the fiery flame & His wheels [like] burning fire. [Revelation 1:14 His head & His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow. And His eyes were [like] a flame of fire.]

A fiery stream [flowed out] & came [out] from [in front of] Him. One thousand thousands, [a.k.a. one million,] ministered to Him. And ten thousand times ten thousand, [a.k.a. 100 trillion,] stood before Him. The judgment was set, & the books were opened. 

[Revelation 20:12-13 And I saw the dead, [powerless & powerful] stand before God & the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged [from] those things, [that] were written in the books, according to their [deeds.] 

And the sea gave up the dead, [that] were in it. And Death & Hell delivered up the dead, [that] were in them. And every man [was] judged according to their [deeds.] 

Then, I [watched,] because of the voice of the great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] words [that] were spoken, [that] the horn [spoke.] I [saw] even [until] the beast was slain & his body destroyed & given to the burning flame. 

[Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken & with him, the false prophet, that [worked] miracles before him, with which he deceived [those, who] had the mark of the beast & [those, who] worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone.]

[About] the rest of the beasts they had their dominions, [territories or kingdoms,] taken away. [Still,] their lives were prolonged, [a.k.a. extended] for a season & time. In the night visions, I [looked] & [saw,] One, like the Son of Man, came with the clouds of heaven & came to the Ancient of Days, & they brought Him, near, [in front of] Him.

[Matthew 24:30 And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in heaven: & then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, & they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power & great glory.]

And [to] Him, was given dominion, glory, & a Kingdom there, [so] that all people, nations, & languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away. And His Kingdom shall not be destroyed. 

[Revelation 1:5-8 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness & the first begotten of the dead, & the Prince of the kings of the earth. [For] Him, [Who] loved us & washed us from our sins in His Own Blood. And has made us [a kingdom of] priests to God & His Father. 

To Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen. [Look,] He comes with clouds & every eye shall see Him. And also [those, who] pierced Him. And all the [families] of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so. Amen. 

I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] is, & [Who] was, & [Who] is to come, the Almighty.]

I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit [within] my body & the visions of my head troubled me. I came near to one of [those, who] stood [close] by, & asked him, the truth [about] all of this. So, he told me, & made [these] things [known] to me & [its] interpretation. 

These 4 [large] beasts, are 4 kings, that shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall take the Kingdom & shall possess the Kingdom forever, even forever & ever. [Revelation 5:11-13 And I [saw] & heard the [voices] of many Angels, [all around] the throne; the [living creatures; & elders. 

And the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000, [a.k.a. 100 trillion,] * saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb, [Who] was slain, to receive: power; riches; wisdom; strength; honor; glory & [blessings.] 

And I heard every creature, which is: in heaven; on the earth; under the earth; & such as are in the sea & all [within] them [were] saying, Blessing; honor; glory; & power be to Him, [Who] sits upon the throne, & to the Lamb forever & ever.] 

Then, I [wanted to] know the truth [about] the 4th beast, [that] was [different & exceedingly] dreadful from all the others. Whose teeth were of iron & his nails of brass, [that] devoured & [broke into] pieces & [trampled] the [rest] with his feet. 

And [about] the 10 horns that were in [its] head, & [about] the other [horn] that came up, before [which] 3 fell. Of that horn that had eyes, & a mouth that [spoke] great, [a.k.a. arrogant] things, whose [appearance] was more [stern] than his [companions.] I, [watched] & the same horn made war with the saints & prevailed against them. 

[Revelation 17:12-13 And the 10 horns, [that] you saw, are 10 kings, [who] haven't received [a] kingdom, yet. But receive power [like] kings, one hour with the beast. These have one mind, [a.k.a. are in agreement,] & shall give their power & strength to the beast.] 

Until the Ancient of Days came & judgment was given to the saints of the Most High & the time came that the saints possessed the Kingdom. [Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones & [those, who] sat upon them. And judgment was given to them. 

And I saw the souls of [those, who] were beheaded for: the witness of Jesus & the Word of God; & [who] hadn't worshiped: the beast; [nor] his image; & neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. And they lived & [ruled] with Christ, 1,000 years.]

He said [this,] The 4th beast shall be the 4th kingdom on the earth, [that] shall be [different] from all kingdoms, & shall devour the earth, & shall [trample] it down & break it in pieces. And the 10 horns [from] this kingdom, are 10 kings, that shall arise. And another shall rise after them. 

And he shall be [different] from the 1st. And he shall [conquer] 3 kings. [Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, & saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads & 10 horns. And upon his horns, [were] 10 crowns. And upon his heads, [was] the name of blasphemy.] 

And he shall speak great, [a.k.a. pompous,] words against the Most High & shall wear out the saints of the Most High & think to change times & Laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time, & times, & the dividing of time. [Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will.

And he shall exalt himself, & magnify himself above every god. And shall speak marvelous, [a.k.a. astonishing,] things against the God of gods. And [he] shall prosper [until] the indignation [is] accomplished, for [what] is determined shall be done.] 

But the judgment shall [wait] & they shall take away his dominion, to: consume & destroy it [until] the end. And the: kingdom; dominion; & greatness under the whole heaven of the kingdom, shall be given to the people & the saints of the Most High, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. 

And all dominions shall serve & obey Him. [Revelation 7:13-17 And one of the elders, [asked] me saying, [Who] are these, [who] are [clothed] in white robes? [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 before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who] sits on the throne, shall dwell among them. 

They shall no [longer] hunger, neither [shall they] thirst anymore. Neither shall the sunlight, nor any heat [scorch] them. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

[Thus far,] is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my [thoughts] troubled me much, & [the expression on] my [face] changed: but I kept the matter [within] my heart.
