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.

Job 2:1-13 What Happened to Job's Body

 

What Happened to Job's Body

Job 2:1-13                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Again, there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord. And Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord. And the Lord said to Satan [Where] have you come from? And Satan answered the Lord & said, From going to & fro [on] the earth & from walking up & down [on] it.

And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant, Job, that there [are] none like him [on] the earth, a [blameless] & upright man, one [who] fears [respects] God & [avoids] evil? And still [Job holds tight to] his integrity, although you moved Me against [Job] to destroy him without cause. 

And Satan answered the Lord & said, Skin for skin, [yet,] all that a man has, he will give for his life. But put [out] Your hand now & touch his flesh & bone & he will curse You to Your face. 

And the Lord said to Satan, [Look, Job's] in your hand, but save his life. So, Satan went [out] from the presence of the Lord & [struck] Job with [very painful] boils from the sole of his foot to the crown [of his head.] 

[Then,] Job took a [piece of broken pottery] to scrape himself [with it.] And Job sat down among the ashes. Then, [Job's] wife said to him, [Do] you still [maintain] your integrity? Curse God & die. 

But [Job] said to her, You [speak like] one of the foolish women [speak.] What? Shall we [only] receive good at the hand of God & not receive [bad things?] In all this, Job didn't sin with his lips & [what he said.] 

Now, when Job's 3 friends heard of all the [bad things] that [had] come upon [Job,] they [each] came from his own [area:] Eliphaz, the Temanite; Bildad, the Shuhite & Zophar, the Naamathite, for they had [arranged] to come together to mourn with [Job] & to comfort him. 

And when they [looked] up [from a far distance,] they [didn't know] him. They lifted up their [voices] & wept. [They each tore his cloak] & sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

So, they sat down with [Job] on the ground [for] 7 days & 7 nights [without saying] a word to [Job, because] they saw that [Job's] grief was very great.
