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 33:1-23 The Lord Shows Moses His Glory

 

The Lord Shows Moses His Glory

Exodus 33:1-23            The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus

The Lord said to Moses, Depart & go up with the [Israelites] you had brought out of the land of Egypt, to [go to] the land [that] I swore to Abraham, Isaac & Jacob saying, I will give it to your [descendants.] 

And I will send an Angel before you & I will drive out the Canaanite, Amorite, Hittite, Perizzite, Hivite & the Jebusite, to [go to] a land flowing with milk & honey; for I will not go up in [your] midst, lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked [stubborn] people. 

The people mourned when they heard [this] evil [news] & no one put on his ornaments, because the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked [stubborn] people & I will come up into your midst in a moment & consume you.

Therefore, [take] off your ornaments, that I may know what to do to you. The children [people] of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb [a.k.a. Mount Sinai.] Moses took the tabernacle & pitched it [outside] the camp, [far] from [it] & called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. 

It [happened,] that everyone [who] sought the Lord, went out to the Tabernacle of the congregation [outside] the camp. It [happened,] that the people [would rise] up & [stand] in their tent door whenever Moses [went] into the tabernacle.

It [happened,] as Moses entered the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended & stood at the door of the tabernacle & the Lord talked with Moses. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door & all the people rose up & [everyone] worshiped in [their] tent door. 

The Lord [spoke] face to face [with] Moses, [like] a man speaks to his friend. [Moses] returned to camp, but his servant, Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, didn’t depart [from] the tabernacle.

Moses said to the Lord, See, You said to me, Bring up this people, [but] you have not let me know [whom] you will send with me. Yet you have said, I know you by name & you have also found grace in My sight. 

Therefore, if I have now found grace in Your sight, I pray [that] You show me Your way now, [so] that I may know You & I may find grace in Your sight & consider that this nation is Your people. [The Lord God] said to [Moses,] My Presence shall go with you & I will give you rest.

[Moses] said, If Your presence [doesn’t] go up with us, [don’t send] us up [from here.] [How] shall  it be known that Your people & I have found grace in Your sight? [If] You [don’t] go with us, [what will set us apart] from all the [other] people on the face of the earth? 

The Lord said to Moses, I will also do this thing that you have spoken, [because] you have found grace in My sight & I know you by name. Moses [asked the Lord,] I [urge] You, [to] show me Your glory. [The Lord] said, I will make all My goodness pass before you & I will proclaim the Name of the Lord before you.

And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious & I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. [The Lord] said, You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me & live. The Lord said, [Look,] there is a place by Me & you shall stand upon a rock.

[It happened,] while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the [cleft] of the rock & [I] will cover you with My hand while I pass by. [Then] I will take away [My] hand & you will see My back parts, but My face shall not be seen.
