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 16:1-22 Job Doesn't Appreciate Their So-Called Advice

 

Job Doesn't Appreciate Their So-Called Advice

Job 16:1-22                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Job answered & said, I have heard many things such [as this.] You all are miserable comforters. Shall [your] vain [worthless] words [ever] have an end? What [provokes] you that you [answer?] 

If [you] were in my [place,] I also could speak [like] you do. I could heap up words against you & shake my head against you. But, [instead,] I would strengthen you with [the words of] my mouth. And my lips moving [would relieve] your grief. 

[Although] I speak, my grief isn't [relieved] & [although I remain silent, how] am I eased? But now, [God] has made me [tired] & you, all my company [of friends,] have made [me feel] desolate [& alone.] 

And You have filled me with wrinkles, [that] witness against me. And my [thinness] rising up [within] me, is [visible in] my face. [My] enemy sharpens his eyes on me & tears [at] me in his [anger & bites] upon me with his teeth. 

They have gathered themselves together against me & gaped upon me, with their [mouths wide open.] They have [struck] me on the cheek in [disgust.] 

[Mark 15:15-20 And so Pilate, willing to [please] the people, released Barabas to them & delivered Jesus to be crucified, when he had [whipped] Him.

And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, called Praetorium & they [called] together the whole band. And they clothed Him with purple & [wove] a crown of thorns & put it [around] His head & began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews! 

And they [struck] him on the head with a reed & spit upon Him & bowing their knees, worshiped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & put His own clothes on Him & led Him out to crucify Him.]

God has delivered Me to the ungodly & turned Me over into the hands of the wicked. I [had been] at ease, but He has broken Me [down] & taken Me by the neck & shaken Me to pieces & [put] Me as His target. His archers [surround Me.]  He [cuts] my [heart strings into pieces] & doesn't spare [Me.] He pours out My gall upon the ground.

[John 19:32-37 Then the soldiers came & [broke] the legs of the 1st & the other, [who were] crucified with Him. *But when they came to Jesus & saw that He was dead already, they [didn’t] break his legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side & [immediately,] blood & water came out there.

And he, [who] saw it, bare record & his record is true, [so] that you may believe. * For these things were done, [so] that the scriptures should be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken. *And again, another scripture says, They shall look on him, Whom they pierced.] 

He breaks me [down,] [wound upon wound] & [tramples] on me like a giant. I have sewed sackcloth to [put on] my [body in mourning] & [was disgraced by laying my head] in the dust. 

[Psalm 7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul & take it. [Yet,] let him [trample] down my life upon the earth & lay my honor in the dust.] My face is [flushed from] weeping & my eyelids [look like] the shadow of death, not [from] any injustice [done by] [my] hands.

My prayer is also [without blame.] O earth, [don't] cover [up] my blood & [don't let there be] no place for my [cries for help.] Also, [look] now, my witness & my record [are] in heaven, on high [with the Lord God.] 

My friends [look down on] me, but [my eyes] pour out tears to God. O that [someone] might plead with God for a man, [like] a man pleads for his neighbor! 

[Romans 9:20 [No,] O man, but who are you that you [talk back] against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him, [Who] formed it, Why have You made me [like this?] [After] a few years, then I shall [die] & go the way [from which] I shall not return. 

[Job 10:21-22 Before I go [where] I shall not return, even to the land of darkness & the shadow of death. A land of darkness, [like] darkness itself & of the shadow of death, without any order & where the light is [like] darkness.]
