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 18:1-21 Bildad Responds to Job

 

Bildad Responds to Job

Job 18:1-21                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Bildad, the Shuhite, answered & said, How long will it be [before you stop talking?] [Write it down] & afterwards we will speak. [Why] are we [considered like wild animals & disgusting] in your sight? 

In his anger, he tears [at] himself. Shall the earth be [abandoned] for you? And shall the rock be removed out of [its] place? The light of the wicked shall be put out & the spark of [its] fire shall not shine. 

[Yet,] the light of the wicked shall be put out & the spark of his candle shall not shine. The light shall be dark in his [tent] & [Job's] candle shall be put out with him. [Job 21:17 How [often] the candle of the wicked [is] put out! And how [often] comes their destruction upon them! In His anger, God distributes sorrows.] 

The steps of [Job's remaining] strength shall be [narrowed] & [he] shall [be] cast down [by] his own [advice.] For by his own feet, he [walked into a trap] & he is [thrown] into a net.

The [trap] shall [catch] him by the heel & the robber shall prevail against him. The snare is laid for him in the ground & a trap for him in the [road.] 

[Extreme fear] shall make him afraid on every side & shall drive him to his feet. His strength shall [depleted by hunger] & destruction shall be [prepared] at his side. It shall devour the strength of his [body.] 

Even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength. His confidence shall be [uprooted from his tent] & it shall bring him to the king of terrors. [They] shall dwell in his [tent, who are] not his [family.] 

Brimstone shall be scattered [where he lives.] His roots shall be [shriveled] up [below] & his branch shall [be] cut off above. [The memory of him] shall perish from the earth & [his] name shall [not be remembered] in the street.

[Job] shall be driven from [the] light into darkness & [be] chased out of the world. Neither shall [Job] have [a] son, [a] nephew, nor any remaining among his people & in his dwellings. 

[Those who] come after him, shall be [astonished] at [the] day [of his death] [like those who] went before [him] were [frightened.] Surely, such are the dwellings of the wicked & this is the place of [those who don't know] God.
