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.

Genesis 7:1-24 God Tells Noah How to Build the Ark & What Goes in It & Rains

 

God Tells Noah How to Build the Ark & What Goes in It & Rains

Genesis 7:1-24              The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

The Lord said to Noah, Come with all your [family] into the ark, for I [God] have seen you are righteous before Me in this generation. You shall take by sevens every clean beast, male & female and of beasts that aren’t clean, by twos, the male & female. Of the [birds] of the air by sevens, male & female to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. For [in] seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth 40 days & nights & I will destroy all living [things] I have made from off the face of the earth. Noah did all according to what the Lord commanded him. 

All flesh that moved on the earth died & both [birds,] cattle, beast, every creeping thing on the earth & every man & all on the land [that had] nostrils to breathe died & every living substance on the ground was destroyed from the earth. Only Noah & [those] with him on the ark remained alive. The waters prevailed on the earth for 150 days.

Noah was 600 years old when the flood waters were upon the earth & Noah & his sons, his wife, sons & his sons' wives went into ark, because of the flood waters. All of the clean & unclean beasts, [birds] & every thing that creeps on the earth, went to Noah into the ark two by two, the male & the female, as God had commanded Noah. 

After the 7 days, the waters of the flood were on the earth. In the 600th year of Noah’s life, in the 2nd month & the 17th day of the month. [On] the same day, Noah entered the ark & [all his family] that day & after their kind of every: beast, cattle, creeping thing upon the earth, & bird of their kind & every sort went into Noah in the ark, two by two of all flesh, male & female, wherein is the breath of life, as the God commanded him & the Lord shut him in.

[Also, on] that same day, all the fountains of the great deep were broken up & the windows of heaven were opened. The rain was on the earth 40 days & nights. When the flood was upon the earth for 40 days, the waters increased & [lifted] up the ark above the earth. The waters prevailed & increased greatly upon the earth & the ark went upon the face of the waters. The waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth & covered all the high hills under the whole heaven. The mountains were covered when the waters prevailed at 15 cubits upward.
