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 21:1-34 Job Responds to Zophar's Cruel Untrue Comments

 

Job Responds to Zophar's Cruel, Untrue Comments

Job 21:1-34                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Job answered & said, [Listen t carefully to what I say] & let this be your [consolation.] [Bear with me] while I speak. After I've spoken, [you can continue to] mock [me.] 

As for me, is my complaint to man? And if it were so, why shouldn't my spirit be troubled? [Look at me] & be astonished & [cover] your mouth [with] your hand. Even when I remember, I'm afraid & trembling takes hold [of] my flesh.

[Why] do the wicked live & become old, [yet] are mighty in power? Their [descendants] & their offspring [are] established in their sight before their eyes. Their houses are safe from fear & neither is [God's] rod upon them. 

Their bull [breeds without fail.] Their cow calves & [doesn't have still borns.] They send out their little ones like a flock & their children dance. They take the [tambourine] & harp & rejoice at the sound of the [flute.] 

They spend their days in wealth & go to the grave [at any] moment. Therefore, they say to [the Lord] God, Depart from us. We [don't] desire [to know] Your ways. 

What is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what [benefit do] we have, if we pray to Him? 

[Job 34:9-11] For he has said, It [benefits] man nothing, that he should delight himself with God. Therefore, [pay attention] to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God, that He [would] do wickedness & the Almighty, [would] commit [sin.] For He shall cause every man to find [that] He shall [repay] to him, for the work of a man, according to his [actions.] 

[Look,] their good isn’t in their [hands.] The [advice] of the wicked is far from me. How [often] is the candle of the wicked put out! And how [often does] their destruction [come] upon them! 

God distributes sorrows in His [anger.] They are [like] stubble [in front of] the wind & [like] the [debris] that the storm carries away. [You may think,] God [stores] up [a man’s sin] for his children. 

[Man should] know, [God repays the wicked.]  [A man's] eyes shall see his destruction & he shall drink of the [fury] of the Almighty. 

[Revelation 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the [fury] of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation. And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy angels & in the presence of the Lamb.] 

For what pleasure [does] he have in his house, when the number of his months [are] cut off in the [middle?] Shall [anyone] teach God knowledge? [Since, God] judges those [who have] high [status.]

One [person dies with] his full strength & [is totally] at ease & [at peace.] His [chest is still strong] &  his bones are moistened with marrow. And another [person] dies in the bitterness of his soul & never eats with pleasure. They [both] shall lie down in the [dirt the same] & the worms shall cover them. 

[Look,] I know your thoughts & [schemes] which you wrongfully imagine against me. For you say, Where is the house of the prince? And where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

Haven't you asked [those who] go by the [road?] [Don't] you know their [signs] & that the wicked [are] reserved [until] the day of destruction? They shall be brought [out on] the day of wrath.

[Revelation 21:6-8 And He said to me, It is done. I am [the] Alpha and [the] 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. But the fearful, unbelieving, [detestable,] murderers, [sexual traffickers,] sorcerers, idolaters & all liars, shall have their [portion] in the lake [that] burns with fire & brimstone, which is the 2nd death.]

Who shall declare his [wicked actions] to his face? And who shall repay him [for] what he has done? Yet, he shall be brought to the grave & shall remain in the tomb. 

The [dirt] clods of the valley shall be sweet to him & every man shall [follow] after him [like] there were [many] before him. How then, [can you] comfort me, [since] in your answers [falsehoods] remain?
