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 24:1-18 Moses Goes On the Mountain to Speak with the Lord God

 

Moses Goes On the Mountain to Speak with the Lord God

Exodus 24:1-18            The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

[The Lord God told] Moses, Come up to the Lord [with] Aaron, Nadab, Abihu & 70 of the elders of Israel & worship from [far away.] Moses alone, shall come near the Lord, but they shall not come [near] & neither shall the people go up with him.

Moses [came] & told the people all the words & judgments of the Lord & all the people answered with 1 voice & said, All the words the Lord [has] said we will do.  Moses wrote [down] all the words of the Lord. He rose early & built an altar with 12 pillars according to the 12 tribes of Israel.

He sent young men of the children [people] of Israel, [who] offered burnt offerings & sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. Moses took ½ of the blood & put it in basins & he sprinkled ½ of the blood on the altar. 

[Then,] he took the Book of the Covenant & read [so] the [Israelites could hear] & they said, All the Lord has said, we will do & be obedient. Moses took the blood & sprinkled it on the people & said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you according to all these words. 

Then, Moses went up Aaron, Nadab, Abihu & 70 of the elders of Israel & they saw the God of Israel & under His feet were [what seemed] like paved work of sapphire stone, [like] it were the [clear blue sky] of heaven. [The Lord God] did not lay His hand on the nobles of the children of Israel, so they saw God & [ate & drank.] 

Then, the Lord [told] Moses to come up to Him on the [mountain,] so the Lord could give him [tablets] of stone with the law & commandments [that] I have written [on them,] so that you may teach them. Moses rose up & took his [assistant,] Joshua, up into the [mountain] of God.

And [Moses] said to the elders, [Wait] here until we come [back] to you, again. [Remember] Aaron & Hur are with you & if anyone has [a dispute,] let him [ go] to them. Moses went up into the [mountain] & a cloud covered [it.] The glory of the Lord [rested] on Mount Sinai & the cloud covered it 6 days.

On the 7th day, [the Lord God] called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. The sight of the glory of the Lord [looked] like a [consuming] fire on top of the [mountain] in the sight of the eyes of the children [people] of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud & went up into the mountain for 40 days & 40 nights.
