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.

Matthew 24:1-51 The Disciples Ask Jesus When These Things Shall Happen

 

The Disciples Ask Jesus When These Things Shall Happen

Matthew 24:1-51    The Gospel According to Matthew [in Smaller Chunks]

And Jesus went out, & [left] from the temple. And His disciples came to Him, [in order] to [show] the [temple's] buildings to Him. *And Jesus said to them, [Don't] you see all these things? [Truly,] I say to you, There shall not be one stone left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 

[Matthew 27:50-51 *When Jesus had cried [out,] with a loud voice, He yielded up the ghost, [a.k.a. died.] And, behold, the temple veil was [torn] in [two] from the top to the bottom. And the earth [quaked,] & the rocks [broke apart.]

And as [Jesus] sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came privately to Him, saying, Tell us, when these things shall be? And what [is] the sign of Your coming, & of the end of the world? And Jesus answered & said to them, [Pay attention,] that no man [deceives] you. 

For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; & shall deceive many. 

[1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, [don't] believe every spirit, but [test] the spirits, whether they are [from] God; because many false prophets [have] gone out into the world. 

[By this,] you [shall] know the Spirit of God: Every Spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ [has] come in the flesh, is of God. And every spirit that [doesn't] confess that Jesus Christ [has] come in the flesh, isn't [from] God. And this is that spirit of antichrist, [of which] you have heard that it should come; & even now, is already in the world.] 

And you shall hear of wars & rumors of wars. See that you [aren't] troubled. For all these things must [happen,] but the end isn't yet. For nations shall rise [up] against nation, & kingdom against kingdom. And there shall be famines, pestilences, & earthquakes, in [various] places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then, they shall deliver you up to be afflicted, & you shall be hated [by] all nations for My Name's sake. [Revelation 2:10-11 [Don't] fear [any] of those things, [that] you shall suffer. 

[Watch,] the devil shall cast some of you into prison, [so] that you may be tried, [a.k.a. tested.] And you shall have tribulation [for] 10 days. You, be faithful [until] death, & I will give you a crown of life. He, [who has] an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He, [who] overcomes shall not be hurt [from] the 2nd death.

And then, many shall be offended, & shall betray one another, & shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise [up,] & shall deceive many. [Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken, [a.k.a. captured,] & with him, the false prophet [who brought about] miracles [in front of] him, with which he deceived [those, who] had received the mark of the beast, & [those, who] worshiped his image. These were both cast alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone.]

And because [sinfulness] shall abound, the love of many shall [grow] cold. But he, [who] shall endure [until] the end, the same shall be saved. [Revelation 15:20-21 Remember the Word that I said to you, The servant isn't greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. 

If they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also. But they will do all these things to you for My Name's sake, because they [don't] know Him, [Who] sent Me.

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness, [a.k.a. testimony,] to all nations. And then, the end shall come. Therefore, when you shall see the Abomination of Desolation, spoken of by Daniel, the prophet, [standing] in the Holy Place. (Let [whoever] reads this, understand:) 

[Daniel 8:11-14 [Yes,] he magnified himself even [up to] the Prince of the Host, & by him, the daily sacrifice was taken away, & the place of His sanctuary was cast down. [Because of sinfulness,] an [army] was given to him, against the daily sacrifice, & it [threw] Truth down to the ground. 

And it practiced, [a.k.a. rehearsed,] & prospered. Then, I heard one saint speaking. And another saint said to that [same] saint, [who spoke,] How long shall [it] be [until] the vision [about] the daily sacrifice, & the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary & the [army] to be [trampled] underfoot? And he said to me, [Until] 2,300 days. Then, the sanctuary shall be cleansed.]

Then, let [those, who are] in Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea,] flee into the mountains. Let him, [who] is on the housetop, not come down to take anything out of his house. Neither let him, [who] is in the field, return back to take his clothes. 

And woe [to those, who] are [pregnant,] & to [those, who are nursing during] those days! But you, pray that your flight [isn't] in the winter, & neither on the Sabbath Day. For great tribulations shall be then, such as wasn't since the beginning of the world, [until] this time, no, nor ever shall be [again.] 

And [unless] those days should be shortened, there [would] be no flesh saved, [a.k.a. alive:] but for the sake [of the] [elect, a.k.a. selected, chosen, or appointed,] those days shall be shortened.  

Then, if any man shall say to you, [Look,] here is Christ, or there [He is,] [don't] believe it. For there shall arise false Christs, & false prophets, & shall [show] great signs & wonders, [a.k.a. miracles, in] that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. [Watch,] I have told you before.

[John 14:29 And now I have told you before it [happens, so] that, when it [happens,] you might believe.] [For this reason,] if they shall say to you, [Look,] He is in the desert, [don't] go [there.] [See,] He is in the secret [rooms, don't] believe it. 

For [like] the lightning comes out of the East, & even shines to the West; so shall the coming of the Son of Man also be. For [wherever] the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered there together. 

[Habakkuk 1:8 Also, their horses are swifter than leopards, & are more fierce than [ravenous] wolves. And their horsemen shall spread themselves [out,] and their horsemen shall come from far [away.] They shall fly [like] the [hungry] eagle, that [hurries] to eat.]

Immediately after the tribulation [during] those days, the sun shall be darkened, & the moon shall not give [its] light. And the stars shall fall from heaven, & the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. 

[Revelation 8:12 And the 4th Angel sounded [the trumpet,] & the 3rd part of the sun was [struck,] & the 3rd part of the moon, & the 3rd part of the stars. So [like] the 3rd part of them was darkened, & the day [didn't shine,] for a 3rd part of it, & [also] the night [didn't shine.]

*And the sign of the Son of Man in heaven shall appear then, & all the tribes of the earth shall mourn then. And they shall see the Son of Man coming with power & great glory in the clouds of heaven. 

[Revelation 1:7-8 [Watch,] 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.

And He shall send His Angels with a great trumpet sound, & they shall gather together His elect from the 4 winds, from one end of heaven to the other. [Revelation 7:13-17 And one of the elders answered, saying, to me, [Who] are [those, who] are [clothed] in white robes? 

And [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 [in front of] 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 thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [burn] them.

For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne shall feed them, & shall lead them to Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.] 

Now, learn a parable [about] the fig tree. When [its] branch is [still] tender, & [puts out] leaves, you know that summer is [soon.] So, [also] you [shall know,] when you shall see all these things. Know that it is near, even at the doors. 

[Truly,] I say to you, This generation shall not pass, [until] all these things [are] fulfilled. [Matthew 20:17-19 And going up to Jerusalem, Jesus took the 12 disciples [aside on] the [road,] & said to them, [Watch,] we go up to Jerusalem. 

*And the Son of Man shall be betrayed to the chief priest, & to the scribes. And they shall condemn Him to death, & shall deliver Him to the Gentiles: to mock, to scourge, [a.k.a. whip,] & to crucify Him. And the third day, He shall rise again.

Heaven & earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. But of that day & hour, no man knows, no, not the Angels of heaven, but only My Father. But [like] the days of [Noah] were, so shall the coming of the Son of Man be.

For [like during] the days that were before the flood, they were eating & drinking, marrying & giving in marriage, until the day that [Noah] entered into the ark, & [didn't know] until the flood came, & took them all away. 

So shall the coming of the Son of Man also be. Then, 2 shall be in the field; the 1 shall be taken, & the other left. Two women shall be grinding [flour] at the mill. The 1 shall be taken, & the other left. Therefore watch, for you [don't] know what hour your Lord [comes.]  

But know this, that if the [person in charge] of the house had known in [which] watch the thief would come. He would have watched, & wouldn't have [allowed] his house to be broken up [a.k. into.] 

Therefore, you also be ready: for in such an hour, as you [aren't thinking] the Son of Man [comes.] Then, who is a faithful & wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat, [a.k.a. food,] in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord shall find doing so, when he [returns.] 

[Truly,] I say to you, That he shall make him ruler, [a.k.a. supervisor,] over all his goods. But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming, & shall begin to [strike] his fellow servants, & to eat & drink with the [drunk.] 

The lord of that servant shall come, [on] a day when he [doesn't] look for him, & an hour that he isn't aware of, & shall cut him asunder, [a.k.a. to pieces,] & appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. 

There shall be weeping & gnashing of teeth. [1 Thessalonians 5:5-10 For you are all the children of Light, & the children of the day. We aren't of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore, let us not sleep, [like] others do. But let us watch, & be sober. For [those, who] sleep, sleep in the night. 

And [those who are drunk, drink] in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith & love. And the hope of Salvation, for [a] helmet. 

For God [hasn't] appointed us [for] wrath, but to obtain Salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ. Who died for us, [so] that whether we [are] [awake,] or sleep [in death,] we should live together with Him.]
