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.

Esther 5:1-14 Queen Esther Has a Banquet for the King & Haman

Queen Esther Has a Banquet for the King & Haman

Esther 5:1-14           The Book of Esther [in Smaller Chunks]

Now, it [happened,] on the 3rd day, Esther put on her royal [clothing,] & stood in the inner court of the king’s house, [a.k.a. palace,] over [next to the palace.] And the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal [palace, next to] the gate of the [palace.]

And it [happened,] when the king saw queen Esther standing in the court, that the king held out the golden scepter that was in his hand to Esther, [demonstrating] that she [gained favor ] in his sight. So, Esther drew near, & touched the top of the scepter. Then, the king said to her, What [do]  

you [want,] queen Esther?

And what is your request? Even, it shall be given [to] you, [up] to 1/2 of the kingdom. And Esther answered, If it [seems] good to the king, let the king & Haman come [today,] to the banquet that I have prepared for him. Then the king said, [Bring] Haman [quickly, so] he may do as Esther [has] said. 

So, the king & Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. And the king said to Esther at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? It shall be granted to you. And what is your request? It shall be [carried out,] even to 1/2 of the kingdom.

Then, Esther answered, My petition & my request is, If I have found [favor] in the sight of the king, & it [pleases] the king to grant my petition, & [carry out] my request, let the king & Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, & tomorrow, I will do as the king [has] said.

Then, Haman went [out] joyful that day, with a glad heart. But when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, & he [didn't stand] up, nor moved [aside] for him, [Haman] was full of indignation against Mordecai. 

[Still,] Haman refrained himself, & when he came home, he sent, & called [for] his friends, & Zeresh, his wife. And Haman told them [about] the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, & all the things [about] the king [promoting] him, & how he had advanced him above the [king's] princes, & servants. 

Haman said, [Additionally,] queen Esther [didn't]  let [any] man come in with the king to the banquet that she had prepared, but [me.] And tomorrow, I am invited [again by] her, with the king. 

Yet, this [is of no benefit to] me, so long as I see Mordecai, the Jew, sitting at the king's gate. Then, Zeresh, his wife, & friends said to him, Let a gallows be made of 50 cubits high, & tomorrow you [can] speak to the king, [so] that Mordecai may be [hung there.] 

Then, you [can] go in merrily with the king to the banquet. And [this] thing, pleased Haman; & he [had] the gallows made.
