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 4:1-21 Eliphaz Implies Job Must Have Deserved It

 

Eliphaz Implies Job Must Have Deserved It

Job 4:1-21                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Eliphaz, the Temanite, answered & said, If we [try to speak] with you, [will] you [continue to] be grieved? Who can [keep] himself from speaking? [Look,] you have instructed many & you have strengthened [those with] weak hands. 

Your words have [uplifted those who were] falling & you have strengthened [those with] feeble knees. But it has come upon you now & you [faint.] It [affects] you and you're troubled.

Isn't this your fear, [that affects] your confidence, your hope & your [upright] ways? I pray [that] you remember who [has] ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off?

Even as I have seen, [those who] plow iniquity & sow wickedness, [harvest] the same. By the blast of God, they perish & by the breath of His nostrils they are [destroyed.]

The roaring of the lion, the [sound] of the fierce lion & the teeth of the young lions, are broken. The old lion perishes for lack of prey [to eat] & the [strong] lion's [cubs] are scattered [around.] 

Now, [something] was secretly brought to me & [my] ear [heard] a little [of it.] [During] thoughts from the visions [at] night, when deep sleep falls on men, Fear & trembling came upon me, which made all my bones shake. 

Then, a spirit passed [in front of] my face & the hair [on my skin] stood up. It stood still, but I couldn't [recognize its appearance.] An image was before [my] eyes & there was silence & I heard a voice, saying, Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker? 

[Look,] He put no trust in His servants & [God] charged His angels with [lack of good judgment.] How much less [would He trust] in [those who live] in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the [dirt] & are crushed before the moth [is crushed?]

They are destroyed from morning to evening. They perish forever without any [paying attention to] it. Doesn't their [excellence within] them go away? They die, even without wisdom.
