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 15:1-35 Eliphaz Questions Job

 

Eliphaz Questions Job

Job 15:1-35                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Eliphaz, the Temanite, answered & said, Should a wise man utter [worthless] vain knowledge & fill his [stomach] with [hot air from] the east wind? Should [his reasoning be unbeneficial] talk? Or with [unproductive] speeches? 

[Yet,] you cast [away] fear [respect] & [limit] prayer before God. For your mouth utters your [sinfulness] & you choose the [words of the devious.] Your own mouth condemns you, not I. [Yet,] your own lips testify against you. Are you the first man [who] was born? Or [were] you made before the hills? 

[Psalm 90:1-2 Lord, You have been our dwelling place [through] all generations. Before the mountains were brought [out,] or You ever formed the earth & the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.]

Have you heard the secret of God And [do] you [withhold] wisdom [for] yourself? What [do] you know, that we [don't] know? What [do] you understand [that] isn't [within] us?

[Between] us are both the gray-headed & the very aged men, much [older] than your father. [Is God's comfort too little for] you? [Do you have knowledge kept from others that is only] with you? 

Why does your heart [go astray?] And [who] do you wink at with your eyes, [so] that you turn your spirit against God & let such words [come] out of your mouth?

[Psalm 35:19-20 Let [those who] are [My] enemies wrongfully rejoice over Me & & neither let [those] wink with the eye [who] hated Me without a cause. For they [don't] speak [peacefully;] but they [plan] deceitful [plots] against [those who] are [living quietly] in the land.]

What is man, that he should be [pure?] And should he be righteous [who] is born of a woman? [Look, God] has no [confidence] in His saints; [yet,] the heavens aren't [without impurities] in His sight. 

How much more [detestable] & filthy is man, who] drinks [up] [sin] like water? I will [explain, listen to] me & I will declare [what] I've seen. [What] wise men have told, from their [forefathers] & haven't [hidden] it; Unto whom alone the [land] was given & no stranger passed among them. 

[Joshua 21:43-45 And the Lord gave to Israel all the land [that] He [had sworn] to give to their [forefathers] & they possessed it & [lived in it there.] And the Lord gave them rest [all around,] according to all that [God swore] to their [forefathers.] 

And there [wasn't] a man of all their enemies [who] stood before them. The Lord delivered all their enemies into their [hands.] [Nothing] failed [to happen] of any good thing [that] the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.] 

The wicked man [writhes] with pain all his days & the number of years is hidden [from] the oppressor. A dreadful sound [rings] in his ears, [during] prosperity, the destroyer shall come upon him. 

[1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 For [you,] yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord, [shall] come [like] a thief in the night. For when they shall say, [There's] peace & safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, [like] the [labor pains] upon the woman [delivering] a child & they shall not escape.]

[Job] doesn't believe he shall come out of darkness & he is [waiting] for the sword. He wanders [around] for bread, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is [already] at hand. 

[Psalm 59:15 Let them wander up & down for [food] & [be displeased] if they aren't [full.] Trouble & anguish shall make him afraid. They shall [accomplish what is attempted] against him, [like] a king [who prepares for] the battle. 

For he [stretched] out his hand against God & [is defiant] against the Almighty. He runs toward [God,] even [butting against] His neck, with a thick, [strong shield,] because his face & ribs are protected by fat. 

And he dwells in [the abandoned & empty] cities & in houses, which are ready to become [garbage] heaps, that no man [lives in.] [His life of] perfection shall not [be lengthened.] He shall not  be rich & neither shall his [possessions] continue.

[Job 20:29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God & the heritage appointed to him by God.] He shall not depart [from] darkness. The flame [of God's anger] shall dry up his branches [descendants] & by the breath of [God's] mouth, he shall [blow] away.

[Don't] let him [who] is deceived trust in [worthless] vanity. For vanity shall be his [repayment.] [Job 35:12-13 There they cry [out,] but [no one answers,] because of the pride of evil men. Surely, God won't hear vanity, neither will the Almighty [pay attention to] it.] 

[His death] shall be accomplished before his time & his [branches] shall not be green. He shall shake off his [unripened grapes] as [if it were] a vine & shall cast off his flower [like] the olive [tree.]

For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate [& empty] & fire shall consume the [tents of] bribery. [Those who plan] mischief & [produce what is worthless] vanity, [prepare] their [stomach] for deceit. 

[Isaiah 33:1 Woe to you [who plunder] & you weren't [plundered] & [you who behave deceitfully] & they [didn't behave deceitfully to] you! When you [stop plundering,] you shall be [plundered.] And when you [finish behaving deceitfully,] they shall [behave deceitfully] with you.]
