About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible::

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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.

1 Chronicles 28:1-21 David Tells of His Preparations for the Building of the Lord's House

 

David Tells of His Preparations for the Building of the Lord's House

1 Chronicles 28:1-21                   1 Chronicles in [Smaller Chunks]

David assembled [to] Jerusalem all the princes, [a.k.a. officials,] of Israel, the princes, [a.k.a. officials,] [over] the tribes, [a.k.a. families,] & the captains of the companies [who served] the king by [divisions.] 

[Also, king David called:] the captains over 1,000's, captains over 100's, & the [financial] stewards over all the [finances] & [possessions] of the: king, his sons, officers, with: the mighty men, & all the valiant men. 

Then, king David stood upon his feet, & said, [Listen to] me, my [relatives,] & my people: As for me, I had [it] in my heart to build [a] house for [Lord's] Ark of the Covenant [to] rest, & for the footstool of our God, & had made ready [the plans] for the building.

But God said to me, You [shall] not build [a] house for My Name, because you [have] been a man of war, & [have] shed blood. [However,] the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house, [a.k.a. family,] of my father, to be the king over Israel forever. 

For [God has] chosen Judah to be the ruler. And [from] the [family] of Judah, the house of my father, & among my [father's] sons, [God] liked me, to make me king over all [of] Israel. And [from] all my sons, (for the Lord [has] given me many sons,) He [has chosen Solomon, my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord, over Israel.

And [the Lord God,] said to me, Solomon, your son, shall build My house & My [courtyards:] for I have chosen him to be My son, & I will be his Father. [Also,] I will establish his kingdom forever, if he [consistently does] My commandments, & My judgments, [like] this day.

Therefore, now in the sight of all [of] Israel, & the congregation of the Lord, & in the audience of our God, seek for & keep all the commandments of the Lord your God: [so] that you may possess this good land, & leave it for an inheritance for your children after you forever.

And you, Solomon, my son, you know the God of your father, & serve Him with a perfect, [a.k.a. blameless,] heart, & with a willing mind. For the Lord [searches] all the hearts, & [understands] all the imaginations of, [a.k.a. every evil plot, & thought.] 

If you seek Him, He will be found [by] you. But if you [abandon the Lord God,] He will cast you off forever. [Pay attention] now, for the Lord [has] chosen you to build [a] house for the sanctuary. Be strong, & do it.

Then, David gave to his son, Solomon, the pattern, [a.k.a. design or blueprint,] of: the porch, & [its] houses, [its] treasuries, [its] upper [rooms, & its] inner [parlors,] & the place of the mercy seat. 

And the pattern of all that he had [been given] by the [Holy] Spirit, the: [courtyards of the [Lord’s] house, & all the [rooms all around it,] the treasuries of [God’s] house, & the treasuries of the dedicated things. 

Also, for the [divisions] of the: priests, Levites, & all the work [for serving in] the [Lord's] house, & for all the vessels, [a.k.a. articles,] [that pertain to the] service in the [Lord's] house. 

[David] gave gold by weight for [all the] things of gold, & for all [the] instruments [for every kind] of service. [David] also [gave] silver for all [the] instruments of silver, by weight, for all [the] instruments of every kind of service.

[David] even [gave the gold by] weight for the gold candlesticks, & for their gold lamps, by weight for every [gold] candlestick, & [its] lamps. And [king David gave] silver by weight, for both the candlesticks of silver, & also for [its] lamps, according to the use of every candlestick. 

And [king David] gave by weight, the gold for the tables shewbread, [a.k.a. the consecrated bread,] for every table; & [also] silver for tables of silver. [He] also gave pure gold [by weight] for the: [meat] hooks, the bowls, cups, & every golden [basin, a.k.a. sink,] & [also] [gave] silver by weight for every silver [basin.]

And [king David also gave] refined gold by weight, for the incense altar, & gold for the pattern, [a.k.a. design,] of the chariot of the cherubims, [a.k.a. angelic statues,] that spread out their wings, & covered the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord [God.] 

David said, All this, the Lord made [possible for] me [to] understand, [the] writing by [the Lord God's] hand, [given to] me, even all the [details] of this pattern.

And David said to Solomon, his son, Be strong, & of good courage, & do it. [Don't] [be] [fearful,] nor [distressed:] for the Lord God, [Who is] even my God, will be with you. He will not fail you, nor [abandon] you, until you [have finished all the work for the service of the [Lord's] house. 

And, [look, the divisions] of the priests & the Levites, even [all of them] shall be with you for all the service of [God’s] house. And [they] shall be there  with you for all [types] of workmanship, every willing, skilful man, for any [type] of service. Also the princes, & all the people will be [totally] [ready to assist you] at your [command.]
