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 40:1-23 The Lord Talks to Job About the Monstrous Behemoth

 

The Lord Talks to Job About the Monstrous Behemoth

Job 40:1-23                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

[Additionally,] the Lord answered Job & said, Shall he [who argues] with the Almighty instruct Him? Let him who [scolds] God answer it. Then, Job answered the Lord & said, [Look,] I'm [repulsive.] What shall I answer You? I will lay my hand [over] my mouth.

[Job 29:9-10 The princes refrained [from] talking & laid their hand on their mouth. The nobles held their piece & their tongue [stuck] to the roof of their mouth.]

Once I have spoken, but I will not answer: [yes,] twice, but I will proceed no further. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind & said, [Belt] up your [waist] now like a man. I will demand [questions] of you & you will declare [the answers] to Me. Will you also [invalidate] My judgment?

Will you [also] condemn Me, [so] that you may be righteous? [Do] you have an arm like God? [Psalm 89:13-14 You have a mighty arm; strong is Your hand & high is Your right hand. Justice & judgment are the habitation of Your throne: mercy & truth shall go before Your face.]

Or can you thunder with a voice like [God?] [Psalm 29:3-4 The voice of the Lord is upon the water. The God of glory [thunders.] The Lord is upon many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful & is full of majesty.] 

[Decorate] yourself now with majesty & [excellence] & [clothe] yourself with glory & beauty. Cast [away] the rage of your [anger] & [see] everyone [who] is proud, & humble him.

Look on everyone [who] is proud & bring him low & [trample] down the wicked in their [hiding] place. Hide them in the [grave's dirt] together & [cover] their faces in secret.  [Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the Lord of Hosts, shall be upon everyone, [who] is proud & [arrogant] & everyone who is lifted up & he shall be brought low.]

Then, I will also confess to you that your own right hand can save you. [Look,] now the [monstrous] Behemoth, which I made with you, [since you imply you were there at creation.] He eats grass [like] an ox. [Look] now, his strength is in his [groin] & his force is in his [stomach muscles.] 

He moves his tail like a cedar [tree.] The [muscles] of his [thighs] are wrapped together. His bones are [like] strong as pieces of brass. His bones are like bars of iron. He is the [leader] of [paths] of God.

He [Who] made him, can make his sword approach [the behemoth.] Surely, the mountains [produce] food [for] him, where all the [animals] of the field play. [Psalm 104:14 [God] causes the grass to grow for the cattle & the herb for the service of men: [so] he may [produce] food out of the earth.] 

[The Behemoth] lies under the shady trees [hidden in] the [reeds & marsh.] The shady trees cover him with their shadow. The willows of the brook [surround] him. 

[Look, the Behemoth] drinks up a river & [doesn't hurry.] He trusts that he can draw up the Jordan [River] into his mouth [like a straw.] [Will any take the Behemoth right before] his eyes, [when] his nose pierces through [traps?]
