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 17:1-13 Stopping Future Complaints About Leadership

 

Stopping Future Complaints About Leadership

  Numbers 17:1-13                   The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

The Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Speak to the children [people] of Israel & all of their princes [leaders,] according to the house of their fathers & have everyone [from the 12 tribes] take a rod according to the house of their [forefathers,] 12 rods & you write every man’s name upon his rod. 

You shall write Aaron’s name on the rod of Levi. For 1 rod will be for the head of the house of their fathers. You shall lay them [upright] in the tabernacle of the congregation before the Testimony, where I will meet with you.

It shall [happen,] that the man’s rod, whom I choose, shall blossom. I will [rid Myself] of this [grumbling] of the children [people] of Israel, [so they stop grumbling] against you. Moses [spoke] to the children [people] of Israel & everyone of the [leaders of their forefathers’] houses gave him a rod. 

The rod of Aaron was among the 12 rods. And Moses laid the rods [upright] before the Lord in the tabernacle of witness. It [happened, the next day,] Moses went into the tabernacle of witness & [saw] Aaron’s rod for the house of Levi, had brought forth buds & budded & [its] blossoms bloomed & [produced] almonds.

Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children [people] of Israel & they looked & [each] man took his [own] rod. The Lord said to Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod before the Testimony, again. 

[It’s] to be kept as a [sign] against [those who rebel, so] you can take their [grumbling] away from Me, [so] they don’t die.

Moses did, as the Lord [God] commanded him. The children [people] of Israel [spoke] to Moses, saying, [Look, if] we die, we perish & we all perish. [Whoever] comes near the tabernacle of the Lord shall die. Shall we [all] die?
