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 19:1-29                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Job answered & said, How long will you [trouble] my soul & [tear] me to pieces with [your] words? You have [argued] with me these 10 times. You aren't ashamed that you have [treated me so harshly.]

And if I have indeed erred, [my errors remain] with [me.] If you will indeed magnify yourselves against me & plead my [disgrace] against me, know now that the [Lord] God has overthrown me & [surrounded] me with His net. 

[Look,] I cry out of wrong [doing,] but I'm not heard. I cry aloud, but there's no [justice.] [God] has fenced up my [road, so] that I can’t pass & He has [put] darkness in my paths. He has stripped me of my glory & has taken the crown from my head. He has destroyed me on every side & I'm gone. He has removed my hope, like a tree [is removed.] 

He has also kindled His anger against me & [God considers] me [like] one of His enemies. His troops come together & raise up their [embankment] against me &

[set up camp around my tent.] [God] has put my brethren far from me & [my] acquaintances are [truly distanced] from me.

My [relatives] have failed [to be supportive of me] & my [close] friends have forgotten me. [Those who live] in [my] house & my maids [consider] me a stranger. I am an [foreigner] in their sight. I called my servant with my mouth, [but] he [didn't] answer me. 

My breath is strange to my wife [even though] I [begged on behalf] for the children’s sake [from my] own body. [Yes,] young children [despise] me. I arose & they [spoke] against me. All my [close] friends are [disgusted by] me & [those] whom I loved, [have] turned against me.

My [bones cling] to my flesh & skin. I [have] escaped [by] the skin of my teeth. Have pity on me, O you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me. Have pity on me. Why do you persecute me & aren't satisfied with my flesh, [like] God? 

Oh, that my words were [already] written & were printed in a book! That they were [engraved] with an iron pen [with] lead [like ink] in the rock forever!

* For I know that my Redeemer lives & that He shall stand [on the Last] Day upon the earth, [even] though [it's] after the worms destroy this body. Yet, in my flesh, I shall see God; Whom I shall see for myself. 

[Revelation 21:6-7 And He said to me, It is done. I am [the] Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give to him [who is thirsty from] the fountain of the Water of Life freely. He [who] overcomes shall inherit all things & I will be his God & he shall be [like] My Son.]

Any [my] eyes shall & [see God] & not another, [although my heart strings are destroyed] within me. But you should say, Why [do] we persecute him, seeing [that] the [cause] of the [problem] is found in me? 

[You should] be afraid of the sword. For [fury] brings the sword of [punishment, so] you may know there is [justice.]
