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 20:1-29 Zophar Answers Job with Baseless Claims

 

Zophar Answers Job with Baseless Claims

Job 20:1-29                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Zophar, the Naamathite, answered & said, [For this reason,] my thoughts cause me to [hurry] & answer. I have heard the [verifying] of my [disgrace] & my spirit of understanding, causes me to answer. 

[Didn't] you [know] this of [ancient times,] since man was placed on the earth, that the [triumph] of the wicked is short & the joy of a hypocrite [is only] for a moment?

[Although Job's] excellence [reaches] to heaven & his head [reaches] to the clouds, he [still] shall perish forever like his own [feces.] [Those who] have seen him, shall say, Where is [Job?] He shall fly away [like] a dream [is no longer] found. [Job] shall [disappear like] a vision in the night. 

Also, the eye [that] saw him, shall see him no [longer.] Neither shall [any in] his place [see Job] any more. His children shall [try] to please the poor & restore their [possessions] [on his behalf.] 

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall [go] down [to the grave] with him in the [dirt.]. [Although, words of] wickedness in his mouth [are] sweet to [Job,] he [hides] it under his tongue. [Although,] he [doesn't abandon it,] but still [keeps] it within his mouth. 

[Still,] the meat in his [stomach has] turned [sour] & [it has become like the poison of snakes] within him. [Job] has swallowed down riches & will vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his [stomach.] he shall suck [out] the poison of the [cobra’s] tongue & [kill it.]

[Job] shall not see: the rivers, the floods, the brooks [in the land with] honey & butter. [Job] shall restore [what] he [worked] for & shall not [be able to] swallow it down.

[Job] shall [make] restitution according to his [wealth & possessions] & shall not rejoice [in them,] because [Job] has oppressed & has [abandoned] the poor & he has violently taken away a house [that] he [didn't build.] 

[Certainly,] he shall not [have a calm stomach] & he shall not save [what] he desired. None of his [food] there will be left, therefore no man shall look for his [possessions.] [Despite all of Job's wealth, Job shall be in a tight place.] 

Every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. When he's about to fill his [stomach,] God shall cast the fury of His [anger] on [Job] while he's eating, it shall rain upon him. [Job] shall flee from iron [weapons, but] the bow of steel shall strike through him. It is drawn & comes out of the body. [Yes,] the glittering sword comes out of his [liver.]

[Extreme fear is] upon him. All darkness shall be [hidden] in [its] secret places & an [unfanned] fire shall consume [Job.] It shall go [poorly] for [those who are] left in [Job's tent.] 

The heaven shall reveal [Job's sin] & the earth shall rise up against him. The increase of his [family’s wealth] shall depart & his [possessions] shall [fly] away [& disappear on] the day of [God's fury.] This is the portion [due] to a wicked man from God & the heritage God [has] appointed to him.
