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.

Genealogy of Sons of Noah 

Genesis 10:1-32                     The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

[This is the genealogy] of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham & Japheth & the sons born to them after the flood. The sons of Japeth were: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meschech & Tiras. The sons of Gomer were: Ashkenaz, Riphath [a.k.a. Diphath] & Togarmah. The sons of Javan were: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim & Dodanim [a.k.a. Rodanim]. By these the [islands & coastlands] of the Gentiles divided their lands, everyone according to his [language], their families & their nations. 

The sons of Ham were: Cush, Mizraim, Phut [a.k.a. Put] & Canaan. The sons of Cush were: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah & Sabtechah & the sons of Raamah were: Sheba & Dedan. Cush [fathered] Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one [on] the earth & a mighty hunter before the Lord; It is said, Even [like] Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, Accad & Calneh [were born] in the land of Shinar. Asshur [left] that land & [went to Assyria] & built Nineveh, Rehoboth, Calah & Resen between Nineveh, Calah, the same, which is a [large] city. 

Mizraim [fathered] Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, Casluhim ([from] whom came the [Philistines]) & Caphtorim.  Canaan [fathered] Sidon, his firstborn & Heth and: the Jebusite, the Amorite & Girgasite; the Hivite, the Arkite & Sinite; the Arvadite & the Zemarite & Hamathite. Afterward, the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad. The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon [toward] Gerar, [then] to Gaza & [then toward] Sodom & Gomorrah, Admah & Zeboiim, even [as far as] Lasha. These were the sons of Ham, [according to] their families, languages, their countries & their nations. Shem was the [older] brother of Japheth & also the father of all the children of Eber. 

The children of Shem were: Elem, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud & Aram. The sons of Aram were: Uz, Hul, Gether & Mash [a.k.a. Meshech]. Arphaxad [fathered] Salah & Salah [fathered] Eber. To Eber were born 2 sons: Peleg & in his [life] the earth was divided & his brother’s name was Joktan. Joktan [fathered] Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal [a.k.a. Ebal], Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah & Jobab. 

All these were the sons of Joktan. And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go [toward] Sephar, a [mountain] of the east. These are the sons of Shem, [according to] their families, their [languages,] in their lands & their nations. These were the families of the sons of Noah, [according] to their generations, in their nations & by these the nations [were] divided in the earth after the flood. 

[Genesis 11:8 So, the Lord scattered these abroad from [there,] upon the face of all the earth & they [stopped] building the city.]
