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 12:1-25                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Job answered & said, No doubt, you are the [intelligent] people & wisdom shall die with you. But I have understanding, as well as you & I'm not inferior to you. [Yet,] who knows things such as these? 

I am [like someone] mocked [by] his neighbor, who calls upon God & [God] answers him. The just, upright man is laughed [at & looked down upon.] [Psalm 91:15 He shall call upon Me & I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble & I will deliver him & honor him.] 

[He who] is at ease, despised the thought [of] a lamp, [until] his feet [were about] ready to [stumble.] God brings abundantly into [the] hands of robbers [whose tents] prosper & those [who] provoke God are [safe.] [Psalm 73:12 [Look,] these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world & they increase in riches.]

But ask the [animals] now & they shall teach you & the [birds] of the air shall tell you, or speak to the earth & it shall [instruct] you & the [fish] of the sea shall declare [it to] you. Who [doesn't] know that the Lord's hand has [brought about] all this? 

In Whose hand is the [life] of every living thing & the breath of all mankind? [Acts 17:28 For we live in Him & move & have our being. Also, certain of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring.]

Doesn't the ear [test the] words & the mouth taste [its] meat? With the [elders] is wisdom & in length of days [comes] understanding. With [God] is wisdom & strength. [God] has [advice] & understanding. [Look, God] breaks down & it can't be [rebuilt] again. He shuts a man up & there can't be [any release.]

[Isaiah 25:2 For [God] has made a city a heap & ruin of a [fenced] city. A palace of [foreigners is] no [longer] a city & it shall never be [rebuilt.] [Look, God] withholds the waters & they dry up. Also, He sends them out & they [overflow] the earth. Strength & wisdom is with [God.]

The deceived & the deceiver are [both] His. [God] leads [advisors] away [plundered] & makes the judges fools. He [bondage] of kings & [straps their waist with a belt.] 

[Isaiah 42:6-8 I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness & will hold Your hand & will keep You & will give You for a Covenant [contract] of the people & for a Light of the Gentiles; *To open the blind eyes, to bring prisoners out from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness, out of the prison houses. I Am the Lord: that is My Name & My glory I won’t give to another, neither My praise to [carved] images.]

[God] leads princes away [plundered] & overthrows the mighty. He removes the speech of the [trustworthy] & takes away the understanding of the aged. [Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise. Neither do the [elders] understand judgment.] 

He pours [disgrace] upon princes & weakens the strength of the mighty. He [makes known] things [difficult to understand] out of darkness & brings the shadow of death to light. [God] increases the nations & destroys them. He enlarges the nations & [reduces] them again.

[God] takes away the [wise] heart [of the leaders] of the people of the earth & causes them to wander in the wilderness where there is no [road.] They grope [like] in the dark without light & He makes them stagger like a [drunk] man.
