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.

Eliphaz Continues to Chastise Job

Job 5:1-27                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Call now, if there are any [who] will answer you & to which of the saints will you turn? For [anger] has killed the foolish man & envy slays the [foolish ones.] I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed [the place he lived.] 

[Jeremiah 12: 1-2 You are righteous, O Lord, when I plead with you. [Still] let me talk with you [about] Your judgments. [Why] does the way of the wicked prosper?]

[Why] are all [those] happy [who behave] very [deceitfully?] You have planted them & they have taken root. They grow & they bring forth fruit. You are near their mouth & far from their [minds.] 

They are crushed in the gate & his children are far from safety. Neither is there any to deliver them. [Psalm 109:12 Let there be [no one] to extend mercy to him & neither let there be any to favor his fatherless children.] 

The hungry eat up their harvest & even take it out of the thorns & the robber swallows up their [possessions.] Although affliction [doesn't] come [out of the dirt,] neither does trouble [sprout] out of the ground. Yet man is born unto trouble, [like] the sparks [of the campfire] fly upward.

[But as for me,] I would seek God & I would [surrender] my [case] to God; [Who] does great & marvelous things; unsearchable, without number. Who gives rain upon the earth & sends waters upon the field: To set up on high those [who are lowly & [exalts] those [who] mourn to safety. 

[God frustrates the plots] of the [devious,] so their hands can't [carry out] their [plans.] [God] takes the wise in their own craftiness & the [plots of the devious] are carried [away.]

Darkness comes upon [them] in the daytime & grope [at noon like] in the night. But [God] saves the poor from the sword, from their [slander] & from the hand of the mighty. So, the poor have hope & the [sinful] mouth is stopped.

[Look,] happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore, [don't] despise [when you are corrected by] the Almighty. For He makes sore & [bandages] up. [God] wounds & His hands make whole.

He shall deliver you in 6 troubles & in 7, no evil shall touch you. [God] shall redeem you from death, in famine & from the power of the sword in war. You shall be [hidden] from the [slanderous] tongue & neither shall you be afraid of destruction, when it comes.

You shall laugh at destruction & famine. Neither shall you be afraid of [wild animals] of the earth. For you shall be in [joined] with the stones of the field & the [animals] of the field shall be at peace with you. 

And you shall know that your [tent] shall be in peace & you shall visit [the place you reside] & shall not sin. You shall also know that your [descendants shall be many] & your offspring [shall be like] the grass of the earth.

You shall come to your grave [at your] full age, like a [stalk] of corn [ripens in its] season. We have searched it [out] & it is so. Hear it & know it [yourself,] for your [own] good.
