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.

Esther 6:1-14 The King Honors Mordecai Instead of Haman

 

The King Honors Mordecai Instead of Haman

Esther 6:1-14            The Book of Esther [in Smaller Chunks]

On that night, the king couldn't sleep & he commanded [them] to bring the [record] book of The Chronicles & they were read [in front of] the king. 

It was found written, that Morrdecai had told of [the plan to seize] king Ahasuerus, [a.k.a. Xerxes, by] Bigthana & Teresh, 2 of the king's chamberlains, [who] were keepers of the door. 

And the king said, What honor & dignity has been [shown] to Mordecai for this? Then, the king's servants, [who] ministered to him, said, Nothing [has been] done for him. And the king said, Who is in the [courtyard?] 

Now, Haman [had] come into the outer [courtyard,] of the king's [palace,] to speak to the king [about hanging] Mordecai on the gallows that [Haman] had prepared for [Mordecai.] 

And the king's servants said to [the king, Look,] Haman stands in the [courtyard.] And the king said, Let him come in. So, Haman came in. And the king said to [Haman,] What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? 

Now, Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to honor more than myself? 

And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor, Let the royal [garments] the king [wears] & the horse the king rides upon & the royal crown that [sits] upon his head, be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes. 

[So,] that they may [clothe] the man, [with] whom the king delights to honor & bring him on horseback through the [streets] of the city & [announce] before him, [This] shall be done to the man, whom the king delights to honor. 

Then, the king said to Haman, [Hurry] & take the [garments] & the horse, as you have said & do so to Mordecai, the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. [Don't] fail [to do anything] you have spoken.

Then, Haman took the [garments] & the horse & [clothed] Mordecai & brought him on horseback through the [streets] of the city. And [Haman announced in front of Mordecai, This] shall be done to the man, whom the king delights to honor. And Mordecai [returned] again to the king's gate. 

But Haman [hurried] to his house mourning, having his head covered. And Haman told Zeresh, his wife & all his friends everything that had [happened to] him. 

Then, his wise [friends] & Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai [is of the family] of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, you shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him. 

And while they were [still] talking with [Haman,] the king's chamberlains came, to [quickly] bring Haman to the banquet that [queen] Esther had prepared.
