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 34:1-12 Moses Dies in the Land of Moab

 

Moses Dies in the Land of Moab

Deuteronomy 34:1-12     Deuteronomy the Fifth Book of Moses

Moses went up from the plains of Moab to the Mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, [across from] Jericho. The Lord [God showed Moses] all the land of Gilead [all the way] to Dan.

And all Naphtali & the land or Ephraim & Manasseh & all the land of Judah [as far as the Mediterranean Sea.] The south & [to the plain in] the Valley of Jericho & to Zoar, the City of Palm Trees. 

The Lord said to [Moses,] This is the land [that] I [swore] to Abraham, Isaac & to Jacob, saying, I will give it to your [descendants.] I have [made it happen, for] you to see it with your [own] eyes, but you shall not go over [there.]

So, Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, according to the Word of the Lord. And [God] buried [Moses] in a valley, in the land of Moab, [across from] Beth Peor. But no man knows [where Moses’ tomb] is to this day.

Moses was 120 years old when he died. His [eyes weren’t] dim, nor was his natural [strength weakened.] The children [people] of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab [for] 30 days. [Then,] the days of weeping & mourning for Moses ended.

Joshua, [Nun’s] son, was full of the Spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon [Joshua.] The children [people] of Israel [listened] to him & did as the Lord commanded Moses. 

There [hasn’t been] a prophet since [Moses] in Israel, whom the Lord knew & [spoke to] face to face. In all the signs & wonders [that] the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, all his servants & all [Pharaoh’s] land, and in all [his] mighty hand & in all the [magnificent] terror [that] Moses [showed] in the sight of all Israel.

[Exodus 14:26-28 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the sea, [so] the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, their chariots & their horsemen. And Moses stretched [out] his hand over the sea & the sea returned to [its] strength when the morning appeared. And the Egyptians fled against it & the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.]
