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 8:1-20 40 Years: Your Clothes Didn’t Wear Out & Your Feet Didn’t Swell

 

40 Years: Your Clothes Didn’t Wear Out & Your Feet Didn’t Swell

Deuteronomy 8:1-20      Deuteronomy the Fifth Book of Moses

You shall [be careful to] do all the commandments [that] I command you this day, [so] that you may live & multiply & go in & possess the land [that] the Lord [swore] to your [forefathers]. 

You shall remember the Lord your God led you all the way these 40 years in the wilderness, to humble you & [test] you. To know what is in your hearts & whether you would keep the commandments or [not].

He humbled you & [allowed] you to [be hungry] & He fed you with manna, [that you hadn’t known], [so] He might make you know that man doesn’t live by bread [alone], but man lives by every word that [comes from] the mouth of the Lord. 

Your [clothing] didn’t [grow] old upon you, neither did your [feet] swell, these 40 years. Also, you shall consider in your heart, that [like a man who corrects] his son, the Lord your God [corrected] you. 

Therefore, you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways & to fear [respect] Him. For the Lord your God [brings] you into a good land, with brooks of water, of fountains & [deep] springs [in the] valleys & hills. 

A land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil & honey. A land [where] you can eat bread without [it being scarce]. You shall not lack anything in it. A land whose stones are iron & out of [its] hills you [may] dig brass. 

When you have eaten & are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land [that] He [has] given you. Beware, [so you don’t] forget the Lord your God, [by] not keeping His commandments, His judgments & His statutes, [that] I command you [today].

Lest when you [have] eaten & [are] full & [you’ve] built [big, impressive] houses & [live in them] & when your herds & flocks multiply & your silver & gold [are] multiplied & your heart [is] lifted up & you forget the Lord your God, [who] brought you out of bondage in the land of Egypt.

[The Lord God who] led you through the great & terrible wilderness [with] fiery serpents, scorpions & drought, where there was no water. [The Lord who] brought you water out of the rock of flint & who fed you in the wilderness with manna, [that your forefathers didn’t] know. 

[So], that He might [test] you & to do you good [in] the end. And [instead] you say in your heart, My power & the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth. 

But you shall remember the Lord your God: for it is He [who gives] you power to get wealth, [so] He may establish His covenant [contract] [that] He [swore] to your [forefathers], as it is this day.

If you [do] forget the Lord your God, at all & walk after other gods & serve them & worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. [Like] the nations the Lord [destroyed right] before your face, so shall you perish: because you weren’t obedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
