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.

2 Chronicles 5:1-14 The Work on the Lord’s House is Finished

 

The Work on the Lord’s House is Finished

2 Chronicles 5:1-14                       2 Chronicles in [Smaller Chunks]

All [Solomon’s] work made for the [Lord’s] house was finished. And Solomon brought in all the things that David, his father, had dedicated. The silver & gold & all the [utensils,] he put among the treasures of the house of God.

Solomon assembled [in] Jerusalem, [Israel’s] elders, all the [tribe’s leaders,] the [heads of the forefathers] of the children [people] of Israel, to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, out of the city of David, which is Zion.

[For this reason,] all the [Israelite] men assembled themselves to king [Solomon at] the feast [held] in the 7th month. All [Israel’s] elders came & the Levites took up the Ark. The [priests & the Levites] brought [up] the Ark & the Tabernacle of the Congregation & all the holy [articles] that were in the tabernacle.

Also, king Solomon & all the [Israelite] congregation, [who] were assembled to [Solomon, in front of] the Ark, sacrificed sheep & oxen, which couldn’t be [counted, because of the] multitude.

And the priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord to [its] place, [in the inner sanctuary] of the house, into the Most Holy Place, even under the wings of the cherubims [2 angelic statues.] 

The [cherubim’s] wings spread [out] over the place of the Ark. [From] above the Ark & the [poles] [to carry it,] the cherubims covered [them.] And they [pulled] out the [poles] of the Ark, [so] the ends of the [poles] were [only] seen from the Ark [in front of] the oracle [a.k.a. inner sanctuary,] but weren’t seen [outside it.] . And it is there [until] this day. 

The [only thing] in the Ark was the 2 [tablets] [with the 10 Commandments,] which Moses put [in there] at Horeb, [a.k.a. Mount Sinai,] when the Lord made a covenant [contract] with the children [people] of Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 

And it [happened,] when the priests [came] out of the Holy Place: (for all the priests [who were there] were sanctified [regardless of their divisions.] 

Also, the Levite singers, all [those] of Asaph, of Heman & of Jeduthun, stood at the east end of the altar, with their sons & [relatives] being [clothed] in white linen, having cymbals, [lyres] & harps & with them 120 priests sounding trumpets:)

It [happened, when] the trumpeters & singers [worked together] to make one sound to be heard in praising & thanking the Lord. And when they lifted up their [voices] with trumpets, cymbals & [musical] instruments, [they] praised the Lord, saying, For [God] is good & His mercy endures forever. 

Then, the house of the Lord was filled with a cloud. So, the priests couldn’t stand to minister, [because] of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God.
