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.

2nd Thessalonians 1:1-12 The Lord Repays Those Who Trouble His Believers

 

The Lord Repays Those Who Trouble His Believers

2nd Thessalonians  1:1-12  Paul's Epistle to Thessalonians [in Smaller Chunks]

[From:] Paul, Silvanus, & Timotheus, [a.k.a. Timothy,] to the [Thessalonians'] church [who believe] in God our Father & the Lord Jesus Christ. [May] grace & peace [be] to you, from God our Father, & the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are bound, [a.k.a. committed,] to always thank God for you, brethren, [a.k.a. fellow-believers,] as is [appropriate,] because your faith [in Jesus Christ,] [grows] exceedingly. And the charity of everyone of you, [grows] & [abounds] toward each other. 

So that, we ourselves glory, [a.k.a. boast,] [about] you in [God's] churches, [because] [of] your patience & faith, [during] all your persecutions & tribulations, that you endure. Which is a manifest, [a.k.a. apparent,] token, [a.k.a. sign,] that you may be [considered] worthy of: [God's] righteous judgment & the Kingdom of God, for which you also suffer: & you, who are troubled [should] rest with us.

[Since,] it's a righteous thing [for] God to recompense, [a.k.a. repay,] tribulation to [those, who] trouble you, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed [coming down] from heaven, with His mighty Angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on [those, who don't] know God, & [don't] obey the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, & from the glory of His power. 

[Revelation 14:9-11 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 [person] shall drink or the wine of [God's] wrath, which is poured out, without mixture into the cup of [the Lord God's] indignation, [a.k.a anger aroused by injustice.] And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of: the holy Angels, & the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment [ascends] up forever & ever. And [those, who] worship the beast & his image, & [whoever] receives the mark of his name, [shall] have no rest day nor night.]

When [Jesus Christ] shall come to be glorified [though] His saints, & to be admired [by] all [of] [those, who] believe [in Him] [on] that day, (because our testimony among you, was believed.) 

[Revelations 21:2-4  And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them, & they shall be His people. And God, Himself, shall be with them & be their God. *And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall no [longer] be: death; sorrow; nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain: for the [previous] things are passed away.] 

[For this reason,] we also pray always for you, that our God would [consider] you worthy of this calling, & [that you will] fulfill all the good pleasure of [God's] goodness, & the work of [sharing your] faith [powerfully.] 

[So] that the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified [within] you, & you in Him, according to the grace of our God & the Lord Jesus Christ. [Colossians 3:17 And [whatever] you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks [through Jesus Christ,] to God, the Father.]
