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 37:1-24 Elihu Mistakenly Tries to Describe God's Actions

 

Elihu Mistakenly Tries to Describe God's Actions

Job 37:1-24                                 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

My heart also trembles at this & [pounds] out of [its] place. [Listen] attentively [to God's thundering] voice & to the sound that goes out of His mouth. [God] directs [everything] under the whole heaven & [directs] His lightning to the ends of the earth.

After [God's] voice roars & He thunders with the voice of His [excellence] & God won't [make] them [cease] when His voice is heard. God thunders marvelously with His voice. He does great things, which we can't [fully understand.]

For [God] says to the snow, [Fall &] be on the earth & also to the [light] rain & to the [hard rains] of [God's] strength. [Psalm 147:16-17 [God] gives snow like wool & He scatters the [frost on the ground] like ashes. He casts [down] His ice like morsels [of food.] Who can stand before [God's] cold?]

[God secures up the work of] the hand of every man, [so] that all men may know [God's] work. [Psalm 109:26-27 Help me, O Lord, my God: O save me, according to Your mercy: [so] that they may know that this is [from] Your hand & that You, Lord, have done it.] 

Then, the [animals] go into dens & remain in their places. Out of the south comes the [tornado] & cold out of the north.  Frost is given by the breath of God & the [expanse] of waters is [frozen straight.]

Also, by watering [God] wearies the thick cloud & [God] scatters His bright [clouds.] And the [cloud] turns [around] by [God's advice, so] that they may do [whatever] God commands them [to do] upon [surface] of the [whole] world, [of] the earth. [God] causes it [to happen,] whether for correction, or for His land, or for mercy.

[Job 38:26-27 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, [where] there is no man; to satisfy the desolate [wastelands] & to cause the tender herb [to] bud & to [sprout out.] 

[Pay attention] to this, O Job; stand still & consider the wondrous works of God. [Psalm 111:2 The works of the Lord are great & sought out [by] all of [those who] have pleasure [in them.]

Do you know when God [put them in place] & caused the light of His cloud to shine? Do you know the [balance] of the clouds & the wondrous works of [God, Who] is perfect in knowledge?

[Do you know] how your [clothing is] warm, when [God] quiets the earth by the south wind? Have you with [God, Who] is strong, spread out the sky, [that is like a molded mirror?] 

Teach us what we shall say to [God;] for we can't [put] our speech in order, [because] of the darkness. Shall [God] be told [what I say?] If a man [speaks,] surely he shall be swallowed up.

And now men [can't look at] the bright light, [that] is in the [clouded skies.] But the wind passes & cleanses them. With [God's terribly splendid] majesty, fair weather comes [from] the north. 

We can't find out [about anything related to] the Almighty. He is excellent in power & in judgment, [with] plenty of justice & He won't afflict. [Romans 11:33-35 [Of] the depth & the [richness] of both the wisdom & knowledge of God!

His judgments & His ways are unsearchable & are [beyond] finding out. For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been [God's advisor?] Or who has first given to God & it shall be [repaid] to him again?] 

Therefore, men fear [respect] [God.] He [isn't partial] to any [who have] wise [hearts.] [Matthew 11:25 At that time, Jesus answered & said, I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven & earth, because You [have hidden] these things from the wise & [cautious] & have revealed them to babes.]
