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.

Deuteronomy 7:1-26 The Lord Your God will Deliver the 7 Mighty Nations Over to You

 

The Lord Your God will Deliver the 7 Mighty Nations Over to You

Deuteronomy 7:1-26      Deuteronomy the Fifth Book of Moses

When the Lord your God brings you into the land [where you go] to possess it, & [He] has cast out many nations before you: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites & the Jebusites, 7 nations greater & mightier than you.

And when. the Lord your God [delivers] them before you & you shall [attack] them & [totally] destroy them. You [shall not] make [any] covenant [contract] with them; nor show any mercy to them.

Neither shall you make marriages with them. You [shall] not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take his daughter [for] your son. For they will [lead] your son [astray] from following Me, [so] that they serve other gods. [Then] the anger of the Lord [will grow]  against you & destroy you suddenly.

But [this is how] you shall deal with them: you shall destroy their altars, break down their images, cut down their groves & burn their [carved] images with fire. For you are a holy people unto the Lord your God. 

The Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people [for] Himself, above all people on the face of the earth. The Lord [didn’t put] His love upon you or choose you, because you were more in number than any [other] people: for [there were less of you than] all people.  

[He. Did it,] because the Lord loved you & [so] He would keep the oath He had sworn to your [forefathers.] [That’s why] the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand & redeemed you out of the house of the house of [slavery] & from the hand of Pharaoh, [Egypt’s] king.


[Exodus 3:7 And the Lord. Said, I have surely seen the affliction of My people [who] are in Egypt. And I have heard their [outcry, because] of their task masters; for I know their sorrows.]

Therefore, know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, [Who keeps] covenant [contract] & [has] mercy [to those who] love Him & keep His commandments to 1,000 generations.

[He] repays [those who] hate Him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be [slow] to repay [those who] hate Him & He will repay them to [their] face. Therefore, you shall keep the commandments, [mandates] & judgments, [that] I command you this day & do them.

If you [listen] to these judgments & keep & do them, the Lord your God shall keep [with] you, the covenant [contract] & the mercy He [swore] to your [forefathers] & He will love you & bless you & multiply you. 

[The Lord God] will also bless you [with many children] & the fruit of your land, your [grain,] your wine, your oil, & the increase of your [herds] & flocks. Of sheep, in the land [that] He swore to your [forefathers] to give you.

You shall be blessed above all people. There shall not be [any] males or females [childless] among you, or your [livestock.] The Lord will take all sickness from you & won’t put [any of the terrible] diseases of Egypt, [that you know of,] on you; but will [put those diseases on all those who] hate you. 

You shall [destroy] all the people [that] the Lord your God shall deliver [to] you. Your eye shall have no pity on them. Neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare [trap for] you.

If you shall say in your heart, These nations are more [numerous that we are.] How can [we drive them out]? [Don’t] be afraid of them, but remember what the Lord your God did to the Pharaoh & to all [of] Egypt.

[You] saw with your own eyes, the great [trials,] signs & wonders, & the mighty hand & [outstretched] arm [of] the Lord your God, [Who] brought you out [of Egypt.] The Lord your God shall do [the same to] all the people of whom you are afraid. 

[Additionally,] the Lord your God will send the hornet among them, until [those who are left] will hide themselves from you & be destroyed. You shall not be [frightened] of them: for the Lord your God is among you, a mighty & [awesome God.]

The Lord your God will put these nations out before you little by little, [so] you [don’t destroy] them at once, lest the [animals] of the field increase [& overtake it.] But the Lord your God shall deliver [the nations] to you & shall [totally] [destroy] them [mightily.]

[The Lord God] shall deliver their kings into your hand & you shall [make their names perish] from under heaven. No man shall be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them [all.]

You shall burn with fire their [carved] images of their gods. You shall not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it [for yourself,] lest you [are entrapped] by it: for it is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Neither shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you [are] cursed like it. You shall [totally] detest & [loathe] it; for it is a cursed thing.
