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 24:1-25 Job Tells of the Wickedness of Some

 

Job Tells of the Wickedness of Some

Job 24:1-25                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

[Since] times aren't hidden from the Almighty, Why do [those who] know Him not see [God’s] days? [1 Thessalonians 5:1-4 But of the times & seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write to you. For yourselves know perfectly [well] that the Day of the Lord, comes [like] a thief in the night.

For when they shall say, Peace & safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them & they won't escape, [like labor pains] upon a woman [delivering a] child. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, [so] that day should overtake you [like] a thief.] 

Some remove the landmarks. They [steal] flocks [by violence & eat of them.] [Hosea 5:10 The princes of Judah were like [those who] remove the [boundary markers.] Therefore, I will pour out My [anger] on them like water.] 

They drive away the [donkeys] of the fatherless & they take the widow's ox for a pledge [for repayment.] They turn the needy out of the [road.] The poor of the earth hide themselves together. 

[See, like] wild [donkeys] in the desert, they go [out] to their work, rising [early] [to search before hand] for prey. The wilderness [provides] food for them & for their children. Everyone [harvests] his corn in the field & they gather the [wine] of the wicked.

They [make] the naked to lodge without clothing, [so] that they have no covering in the cold. They are wet with the [mountain] showers & [huddle around] the rock for [lack] of shelter. They pluck [away the nursing babies] of the fatherless & [require] a pledge, [a.k.a. collateral for repayment] of the poor. 

[Leviticus 25:35-37 And if your brother with you, [grows] poor & [falls into decline,] then you shall relieve him. [Yet, although] he is a stranger, or a [wanderer,] that he may live with you [there.] You take no [interest] from him, or [profit,] but fear [respect] your God; [so] that your brother may live with you. You shall not give him your money [with interest,] nor lend him your [food for profit.] 

They cause him to go naked without clothing & they take away the sheaf [of wheat] from the hungry; [who] make oil within their walls & [trample] their wine presses & [allow them to] thirst. 

Men groan from [outside] the city & the wounded [person] cries out. [Still,] God doesn't [charge] them with folly. [These] are those [who] rebel against the Light. They [don't] know [its] ways, nor [do] they [remain] in [its] paths.

[1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the Light, [like] He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another & the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.] 

The murderer [who] rises [at daybreak] & kills the poor & needy & is [like] a thief in the night. Also, the eye of [the person who commits adultery,] waits for twilight, saying, No [one] shall see me & disguises his face. 

In the dark, they dig through [the possessions within] houses, [that] they had [targeted during] the daytime for themselves, [because] they [don't] know the Light. 

[John 3:19-20 And this is the condemnation, that Light [has] come into the world & men loved darkness rather than Light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone [who] does evil, hates the Light, neither [does he] come to the Light, [so] that his deeds [won't be sharply criticized.]

For them, the morning is even [like] the shadow of death. If [someone] knows them, they are [terrified, like of] the shadow of death. He is swift [like] the waters & their portion [of their inheritance] in the earth is cursed. 

He [doesn't see] the [road] to the vineyards. Drought & heat [make] the snow waters [evaporate & disappear.] [Also,] the grave [does the same to those who] have sinned. The womb [that gave birth to him] shall forget him, [as] the worm shall feed sweetly on him. 

He shall be [cut down] & broken [like] a tree & he shall no [longer be] remembered. [Job 18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth & he shall have no [one who remembers his] name in the street.]

He, [who is] evil [preys upon] the barren, [unable to have children] & [doesn't do what's] good to the widow. [God] also [takes away] the mighty with his power. He rises up & no [man's] life is [certain.] [Although] safety [is] given to him, [upon which] he rests, [still God's] eyes are upon their ways.

They are exalted for a little while, [then] are brought low & are gone. They are taken out of the [path like] all [others] & cut off [like] the tops of the ears of corn. And if it [isn't] so, who will [prove] me a liar & make my speech [worthless?]
