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.

Numbers 12:1-16 Aaron & Miriam, Moses’ Siblings, Envy His Power

 

Aaron & Miriam, Moses’ Siblings, Envy His Power

Numbers 12:1-16                                The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

Miriam & Moses [spoke] against Moses, because of the Ethiopian woman he had married. They said, [Has] the Lord [only] spoken through Moses? Hasn’t He also spoken by us? And the Lord heard it.

(Now, Moses was a very [timid] man, above all men upon the face of the earth.) The Lord spoke suddenly to Moses, Aaron & Miriam, You 3, come out into the tabernacle of the congregation [& the 3 did so.] 

The [Lord God] came down in the pillar of the cloud & stood in the door of the tabernacle & called Aaron & Miriam. They both came [forward.] The [Lord God] said, Hear My words now. If there [is] a prophet among you, I, the Lord, will make Myself known to him in a vision & will speak to him in a dream. 

[I don’t do this] with My servant, Moses, who is [the most] faithful in all My house. I speak with [Moses face to face plainly] & not in dark [sayings.] [Moses] sees the [form] of the Lord.

[Why] then weren’t you afraid to speak against My servant, Moses? The anger of the Lord [grew] against them & He departed. [When] the cloud departed from off the tabernacle, [Miriam’s skin] became leprous, white as snow. 

Aaron looked upon Miriam & [saw] she was leprous. Aaron said to Moses, I [beg] you to, not lay our sin on us. We have done foolishly & we have sinned. Let [Miriam] not be like a [stillborn who] is dead, with skin that is 1/2 consumed from the mother’s womb.

Moses cried [out] to the Lord, saying, I [beg] You, heal her now, O God. And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had spit in her face & [defiled her,] wouldn’t she be [humbled] for 7 days? Let her be shut [outside] the camp for 7 days. After that, let her be [welcomed] in again. And Miriam was shut [outside] 7 days. Afterward,the people [left] from Hazeroth & pitched [their tents] in the Wilderness of Paran.
