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.

Exodus 15:1-31 The Israelites Sing of the Lord God Rescuing Them from Egyptian Oppression

 

The Israelites Sing of the Lord God Rescuing Them from Egyptian Oppression

Exodus 15:1-31            The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

Then, Moses & the children [people] of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying,  I will sing to the Lord [God,] for He [has] triumphed gloriously & He has thrown the horse & [its] rider into the sea.

The Lord is my strength & song & He has become my salvation. He is my God & my [forefather’s] God & I will prepare Him a habitation & I will exalt Him. The Lord is a man or war, the Lord is His Name.

Pharaoh's chariots & his [army, God] has [thrown] into the sea. [Pharaoh's] chosen captains are also drowned in the Red Sea. The depths have covered them & they sank into the bottom [like] a stone. 

Your right hand, O Lord, has become glorious in power & has dashed [to] pieces the enemy. In. the greatness of Your excellency, You have overthrown [those who] rose up against You & Your [anger] consumed them [like] stubble. With [a] blast of Your nostrils, the waters gathered together & stood upright [like] a heap & the depths [stood still] in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue & overtake [you] & I will divide the [plunder.] My [longing] shall be satisfied & I will draw my sword & destroy the [Israelites.] You blew with Your wind & the sea covered them & they sank like lead in the mighty waters. 

Who is like You, O Lord [God,] glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders, among the gods? You [stretched] out Your right hand & the earth swallowed them. You in Your mercy have led [out] the people You have redeemed & You have guided them in Your strength to Your holy habitation.

The people will hear & be afraid. Sorrow & dismay will take hold of the inhabitants of: [Palestine.] Then the dukes of Edom & mighty men of Moab shall be amazed & trembling shall take hold [of] them. All the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. Fear & dread shall fall upon them.

By the greatness of Your arm, they will be as still as a stone, till Your people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, [whom] You have purchased. You will bring them in & plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance, O Lord, which You have made for You to dwell in, the Sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established & the Lord shall [rule] for ever & ever. 

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots & his horsemen into the sea. And the Lord [God] brought the waters of the sea again upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

All the women went out after Miriam, the prophetess & sister of Aaron, took the timbrels [tambourines] in their hands & [danced.] And Miriam answered them, You sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously. The horse & [its] rider, He has thrown into the sea.

So, Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea into the Wilderness of Shur & they went 3 days into the wilderness & found no water. When they came to Marah & they couldn’t drink [its] waters, because they were bitter. Therefore, the name of it was Marah [Bitter.] 

And the people [grumbled] against Moses [asking,] What shall we drink? [So,] Moses cried [out] to the Lord [God, Who] showed him a tree & when he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. 

[The Lord your God,] made a [rule & law] for them there & He [tested] them there & said, If you will diligently [pay attention to] the voice of the Lord your God & will do what is right in His sight & listen to & keep His commandments & His [rules,] 

I will not put any of the diseases on you, which I brought on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord, [Who] heals you. When they came to Elim, there were 12 wells of water & 70 palm trees, so they [camped] there by the waters.
