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 22:1-30 Eliphaz Answers Job With Lies

 

Eliphaz Answers Job With Lies

Job 22:1-30                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Eliphaz, the Temanite, answered & said, Can a man be [beneficial] to God, [like] he [who] is wise may be [beneficial] to himself? [Job 35:7 If you [are] righteous, what [do] you give [God?] Or What [does God] receive [from] your hand?] 

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? Or does it [benefit God,] that you make your ways [blameless?] Will God [disapprove of] you, [because He's] [afraid] of you? 

Will [God] enter with you into judgment? Isn't your wickedness [enormous?] And your [sins are endless?] For you have taken [away] a pledge from your [fellow Hebrew] for [nothing] & you stripped the naked of their clothing. 

[Exodus 22:26-27 If you at all take your neighbor's [clothing for a] pledge, you shall deliver it to him by sundown [that day,] for that is his only covering. It is his [clothing] for his skin. [What] shall he sleep [in?] And it shall [happen,] when he cries [out] to Me, that I will hear, for I am gracious.]

You haven't given water to the weary to drink & you have withheld bread from the hungry. But, as for the mighty, he had [land on] the earth & the [honored] man dwelt in it. 

You have sent widows away empty [handed] & have broken the arms of the fatherless. Therefore, [traps are around] you & sudden fear troubles you; or darkness, [so] that you can't see & [an] abundance of waters [overflow] you. 

Isn't God in the [heights] of heaven? And [look at] the height of the stars & how high they are! And you say, How does God know? Can He judge through the dark [clouds?]

Thick clouds are a [cover for Job, so] that [God doesn't] see [him.] And [God] walks [the planets’ & stars' orbits] of heaven. Have you [identified] the old [path, that] wicked men have [trampled?]

[Those wicked men] were cut down [before their] time, whose [foundations were] overflown with a flood. [Psalm 90:5-6 You carried them away, [like] with a flood. They are [gone] [like] sleep in the morning. They are like grass that grows up. In the morning it flourishes & grows up & in the evening it is cut down & withers.]

[Wicked men, who] say to God, Depart from us. What can the Almighty do for them? [Still, God] filled their houses with good things, but the [advice] of the wicked is far from me. The righteous see it & are glad. The innocent laugh [& look down on them.] [Since] our [possessions weren't destroyed,] the fire consumes the [rest] of them. 

Now, acquaint yourself with [God] & be at peace. [As a result,] good things shall come to you. I pray [that] you receive the law from [God's] mouth & [store] up His Words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty, you shall be [elevated.]

You [should] put [sin] far from your [tents.] Then, you shall [store] up gold [like] dust. And the gold of Ophir, [like] the stones of the brooks. [Yes,] the Almighty shall be your defense & you shall have plenty of silver.

For then, you shall have your delight [with] the Almighty & shall lift up your face to God. You shall make your prayer to [God] & He shall hear you & you shall pay [what you vowed.] 

You shall also [decide] a thing & it shall be established [for] you. And the light shall shine up your ways. When men are [downcast,] then you shall say, Thwere is [need of] [uplifting & God] shall save the humble person. 

[Matthew 23:12 And [whoever] shall exalt himself shall be [humbled] & he, [who] humbles himself, shall be exalted.] [God] shall deliver the innocent, [who are isolated] [like on an] island & by the pureness of your hands, it is delivered.
