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 23:1-17 Job Speaks of Wanting to Present His Case to God

 

Job Speaks of Wanting to Present His Case to God

Job 23:1-17                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Job answered [Eliphaz] & said, Even today, my complaint is bitter. [God's hand on me] is heavier than my groaning. Oh, [if] I [only] knew where I might find Him! [So,] that I might even come to His seat [of judgment.]

I would [put my case in] order, before Him & [prepare] my mouth with arguments. I would [anticipate] & understand the words [with which God] would answer me. Will [God] plead [His case] against me with His great power? No; but [instead] He would [strengthen] me.

There, the righteous might [debate] with Him; so I should be delivered forever from my judge. I [look ahead, but [God] isn't there & backward, I can't [see] Him. On the left hand [side,] where He [works,] I can't [catch sight of] Him. [God] hides Himself on the right hand [side, so] that I can't see Him. 

But [God] knows the [path] that I take. When [God] has [tested] me, I shall come [out like] gold. My foot has held [close to] His steps. I have kept His way & not [rejected it.] Neither have I gone [astray] from the commandment of [God's] lips.

I have [respected] the Words of His mouth more than my food necessary [for life.] But [God] is [of] one mind & who can [sway] Him? And [God] does what His soul desires. For [God accomplishes what] is [determined] for me. 

And many [similar] things are with [Him.] Therefore, I am troubled at His presence. When I [think about it,] I'm afraid of Him. For God makes my heart [weak] & the Almighty troubles me, because I wasn't cut off before the darkness. Neither has [God hidden] the darkness from my face.

[Job 10:19-21 I should've been as though I hadn't [existed,] I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. Aren’t my days few? Then, cease & let me alone, [so] that I may take a little comfort, before I go [where] I shall not return, even to the land of darkness & the shadow of death.]
