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 Tells the 3 Men What His Life Is Like

Job 7:1-21                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Isn't there an appointed time [for] men upon the earth? Aren't his days also like the days of a [hired worker?] [Psalm 119:84 How many are the days of Your servant? When will You [carry out] judgment on [those who] persecute me?] 

[Like] a servant [longs for shade & a hired worker] looks for the reward, [a.k.a. wages] of his work. So, I am made to possess months of [worthless] vanity & [tiresome] nights are [arranged for] me. [Job 15:31 Let not him, [who] is deceived trust in vanity; for vanity shall be his [reward.] 

When I lie down, I say, When [will] the night be gone & I shall arise? I am full of tossing [back & forth until dawn.] My flesh is [covered] with worms & [caked dirt.] My skin is [cracked] & has [become disgusting.]

My days [go by] swifter than a weaver's shuttle & are spent without hope. O remember that my life is [like the] wind. [My eyes] shall no [longer] see [what is] good. The [eyes of those who] have seen me, shall see me no [longer.] Your eyes are upon me & I [no longer exist.]

[Like] the cloud [breaks up & goes away] & vanishes; so [is] he [who] goes down to the grave & shall [return] no more. He shall no [longer] return to his house, neither shall his place [recognize] him any more. Therefore, I won't [stop from speaking.] I will speak [with] the anguish of my spirit. 

I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. Am I [the] sea, or a whale, that You [sit] & watch over me? When I say, My bed shall comfort me & my couch shall ease my complaint, then You [scare] me with dreams & terrify me through visions: So that, my soul chooses strangling & death, rather than my life. 

I [detest] [my life,] I won't live [always, so] let me alone; for my days are vanity. What is man, that You should magnify him? And that You should set Your heart upon him? And that You should [punish] him every morning & [test] him every moment?

How long will You not depart from me, nor [leave] me alone, until I swallow down my [drool?] I have sinned. O You, [Who saves] men, what shall I do [for] You? Why have You [made] me [Your target,] so that I'm a burden to myself? 

[Psalm 36:6 Your righteousness is like the [tall] mountains. Your judgments are deep [like the seas.] O Lord, You [save] man & [animals.] And why don't You [forgive] my transgression & take away my [sin?] For now, I shall sleep in [dirt] & You shall seek me in the morning, but I shall [no longer exist.]
