For the Lord’s Compassion, Return to Him with All Your Heart & Soul |
Deuteronomy 30:1-20 Deuteronomy the Fifth Book of Moses |
It shall [happen,] when all these things come upon you, the blessing & the curse, [that] I have [put] before you & you shall [remember them when you are] among all the nations [where] the Lord your God has driven you. |
[You] shall return to the Lord your God & shall obey His voice, according to all I command you & your children with all your heart & all your soul, this day. Then, the Lord will [return you from] your captivity & have compassion on you. |
He will return & gather you from all the nations, [where] the Lord your God has scattered you, even to [the furthest lands under] heaven. The Lord your God will gather you from there & [bring you back again.] |
The Lord your God will bring you into the land [that] your [forefathers] possessed & you shall possess it. [The Lord] will do good to you & multiply you more than your [forefathers.] |
The Lord your God will circumcise your heart & the [hearts of your descendants,] to love the Lord your God with all your heart & all your soul, [so] you may live. |
The Lord your God will put all these curses upon your enemies & [those who] hate you & persecuted you. You shall return & obey & do [what the Lord said] & all His commandments that I [give] you this day. |
The Lord your God will make every work of your hand [plentiful] & [your offspring,] the [offspring of your livestock] & [the harvest of your land] for good. For the Lord [God] will again rejoice over you for good, [like] He rejoiced over your [forefathers.] |
If you shall [pay attention to] the voice of the Lord your God & keep His commandments & His [mandates, that] are written in this Book of the Law & you turn to the Lord your God with all your heart & with all your soul. |
For this commandment that I [give] you this day is not hidden from you, neither is it far [away.] It isn’t in heaven, that you say, Who shall go up to heaven for us & bring it to us, [so] we may hear & do it? |
Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us & bring it to us, [so] we may hear & do it? But the Word is very [close] to you, in your heart & in your mouth, so that you may do it. |
See, I have set before you this day, life & good, and death & evil. For I command you this day to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways & to keep His commandments, His [mandates] & His judgments, [so] you may live & multiply. |
And the Lord your God shall bless you in the land [where] you go to possess it. But if your heart [turns] away, so you won’t hear & [are lead astray] to worship other gods & serve them; |
I [announce] to you this day, that you shall surely perish & your [life will not be prolonged] upon the land, [where] you pass over [the] Jordan [River] to go possess it. |
I call heaven & earth [as witnesses] this day against you, that I have [put] before you life & death, blessing & [curses.] Therefore, choose life, [so] both you & your [descendants] may live. |
[So] you may love the Lord your God & [that] you may obey His voice & that you may [cling] to Him. For [the Lord God] is your life & [He will lengthen your life:] [so] you may dwell in the land [that] the Lord [swore] to your [forefathers,] to Abraham, to Isaac & to Jacob, to give them. |
The Lord God had it on my heart to create: Daily Chapters of the Bible [in Smaller Chunks] for people in our busy world to read the Bible in [smaller chunks of time!]
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.
