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.

Mark 13:1-37 When Shall the End Happen?

 

When Shall the End Happen?

Mark 13:1-37          The Gospel According to Mark [in Smaller Chunks]

And as [Jesus] went out of the temple, 1 of His disciples [said] to Him, Master, [a.k.a. Teacher,] see what [type] of stones, & what buildings are here! *And Jesus answering said to Him, *[Do] you [see] these [large] buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 

[Matthew 27:50-51 *Jesus, when He had cried [out] again with a loud voice, [gave] up the ghost. And, behold, the [temple's] veil was [torn] in [two] from the top to the bottom, & the earth [quaked,] & the rocks [split apart.] 

And as [Jesus] sat upon the Mount of Olives over [across from] the temple, Peter, James, John, & Andrew asked Him privately, Tell us, when these things shall be? And what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? And Jesus answering them, began to say, [Pay attention,] lest any man [deceives] you. 

For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ, & shall deceive many. And when you shall hear of wars & rumors of wars, [don't] be troubled: for such things [need] [to] be; but the end shall not be yet. For nation shall rise against nation, & kingdom [rise] against kingdom. 

And there shall be earthquakes in [various] places. And there shall be famines & troubles, [a.k.a. unrest,] & these are the beginnings of sorrows. *But [you,] take [note] to yourselves, for they shall deliver you up to councils. And you shall be beaten in the synagogues. 

And you shall be brought before rulers & kings for My sake, & for a testimony against them. [Acts 5:40-42 *And they agreed [with] him. And when they had called the apostles, & had beaten them, they commanded that they shouldn't speak in the Name of Jesus, & let them go. 

And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were [considered] worthy to suffer shame for His Name. And they [didn't] cease [from] [teaching & preaching,] Jesus Christ, daily in the temple, & in every house.]

And the gospel must 1st be [proclaimed] among all nations. But when they shall lead you, & deliver you up, take no thought beforehand [about] what you shall [say.] Neither [should] you [preplan,] but you shall speak, [whatever] shall be given [to] you in that hour. For it's not you, [who speaks,] but the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. The Holy Spirit.] 

Now, brother shall betray brother, to death, & the father [shall betray] the son. And children shall rise up against their parents, & shall cause them to be put to death. And you shall be hated [by] all men for My Name's sake. *But he, [who] shall endure [until] the end, the same shall be saved.

[Revelation 3:5-6 *He, [who] overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white [clothing.] And I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before My Father, & before His Angels. He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit [says] to the churches.] 

*But when you shall see the Abomination of Desolation, standing where it [shouldn't,] spoken of by Daniel, the prophet, then let [those, who are] in Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] flee to the mountains. (Let him, [who reads] understand.) And let him, [who] is on the housetop, not go down into the house, & [not] enter [in there,] to take anything out of the house. 

And let him, [who] is in the field, not turn back again, to [get] his garment. But woe to [those, who] are [pregnant,] & to [those, who nurse,] in those days! And pray that you flight [isn't] in the winter.

For [during] those days, shall be affliction, such as wasn't [in existence] from the beginning of the creation, which God created, [until] this time, & neither shall be [again.] 

And [unless] the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved. But for the elect's sake, whom He [has] chosen, He has shortened the days. And then, if any man shall say to you, [Look,] here is Christ; or, [Look,] He is there; [don't] believe him. 

*For false Christs & false prophets shall rise, & shall [show] signs & wonders, [a.k.a. miracles,] to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect, [a.k.a. chosen ones.] [Revelation 13:11-18 *And I, [a.k.a. the apostle John, saw] another beast coming up out of the earth; & he had 2 horns like a lamb, & he [spoke like] a dragon. 

And he [carried out] all the power of the 1st beast [that was] before him, & [caused] the earth & all [those, who] dwell [in it] to worship the 1st beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he [does] great wonders, so that he [makes] fire come down from heaven on the earth, in the sight of men. 

And [deceives [those, who] dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to [those, who] dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, [that] had the wound by a sword, & [lived.] 

And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, [so] that the image of the beast should both speak, & cause [to] be killed, as many as wouldn't worship the image of the beast. 

And he caused all, both the small & great, rich & poor, free & [chained] to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, [except] he, [who] had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 

Here is wisdom. Let him, [who has] understanding, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man. And his number is 666.]

But you, pay attention. [Watch,] I have foretold you all things. *But [during] those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, & the moon shall not give [its] light.

[Revelation 8:12 *And the 4th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & the third part of the sun was [struck,] & the third part of the moon, & the third part of the stars, so as the third part of them was darkened, & the day [didn't shine] for a third part of it, & the night, [also.]

*And the stars of heaven shall fall, & the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. [Revelation 6:13 *And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree casts [its unripened] figs, when [its] shaken [by] a mighty wind.] 

*And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds, with great power & glory. [Revelation 1:5-8 *And from Jesus Christ, [Who] is the faithful witness, & the 1st [born] of the dead, & the [ruler] of the [earth's] kings. 

To Him, [Who] loved us, & washed us from our sins in His Own blood, & has made us kings & priests to God & His Father. To Him be glory, & dominion, [a.k.a. power,] forever & ever. Amen. 

[Look,] He comes with clouds; & every eye shall see Him, & 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.] 

*And then He shall send His Angels, & they shall gather together His elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] from the 4 winds, form the [furthest] part of the earth to the [furthest] part of heaven. 

[Revelation 7:9-10 *After this, I [looked,] & [saw,] a [large] multitude, which no man could [count,] of all nations, [families,] people, & [languages,] stood [in front of] the throne, & before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, & palms in their hands. And cried [out] with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, [Who sits] upon the throne, & to the Lamb.]

Now, learn a parable of the fig tree. When [its] branches [are still] tender, & [puts out] leaves, you know that summer is near. *So you, in [similar] manner, when you shall see these things [happen,] know that it is [near,] even at the doors. 

*[Truly,] I say to you, that this generation [who sees these things happen,] shall not pass, [until] all these things [are] done. Heaven & earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away. 

[2 Peter 3:7-10 But the heavens & the earth, which now are, are [set aside,] by the same Word, reserved [for the] fire, against the day of judgment & perdition, [a.k.a. destruction,] of ungodly men. But, beloved, [don't] be [unaware] of this one thing, that 1 day is [for] the Lord [like] a 1,000 years, & 1,000 years [like] 1 day. 

The Lord is not [slow] concerning His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, & also the earth & the works, [a.k.a. things made,] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.] 

*But of that day, & that hour, no man [knows,] no, not the Angels, [who] are in heaven, neither the Son, but [only] the Father. [Pay attention,] watch & pray. For you [don't] know when the time is. [1 Thessalonians 5:8-10 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith & love. 

And for [a] helmet, [put on] the hope of Salvation. For God hasn't [selected] us [for] wrath, but to obtain Salvation [through faith in] our Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for us, [so] that, whether we wake or sleep, [in death,] we should live together with Him.] 

For the Son of Man is [like] a man taking a far journey, who left his house, & gave authority to his servants, & [gave] to every man his work, & commanded the porter, [a.k.a. doorkeeper,] to watch. 

*Therefore, watch, for you [don't] know when the master of the house [comes,] at [evening,] or at midnight, or [when] the [cock crows,] or in the morning. Lest He coming suddenly, [finds] you sleeping. And what I say to you, I say to all, Watch. 

[Revelation 22:12-17 *And [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.] I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify these things to you in the churches.

I Am the Root & the Offspring of David, & the Bright & Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And Let him, [who hears] say, Come. And let him, [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever] is [willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.]
