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 42:1-17 The Lord Speaks to Job's So-Called Friends

The Lord Speaks to Job's So-Called Friends

Job  42:1-17                             Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, Job answered the Lord & said, I know that you can do everything & that no thought can be [withheld] from You. [I'm] he, who hides counsel without knowledge. Therefore, I've uttered [what] I [didn't understand;] things too wonderful for me, which I [didn't know.]

[Listen,] I [beg] You, and I will speak. I will demand [questions] of You & You will declare [the answers] to me. I have heard of You [by listening with my ears,] but now [my eyes] see You. [For this reason,] I [loathe] myself & repent in dust & ashes. 

And it [happened,] after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, [that] the Lord said to Eliphaz, the Temanite, My [anger grows] against you & against your 2 friends, for you haven’t spoken of Me, the [things] that [are] right, like My servant, Job, has.

Therefore, take [for] you now: 7 [bulls] & 7 rams & go to My servant, Job & offer a burnt offering for yourselves & My servant, Job, shall pray for you: for I will accept him: lest I deal with you [according to] your [lack of good judgment,] in that, you haven't spoken of Me [what] is right, [like] My servant, Job. 

So, Eliphaz, the Temanite, Bildad, the Shuhite & Zophar, the Naamathite, went & did according as the Lord commanded them. The Lord also accepted Job. And when [Job] prayed for his friends, the Lord [returned Job's possessions that had been captive] & the Lord also gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Then, all [Job's brothers] & all his sisters & all [who had] been his [acquaintances] before, came there to him. And [they ate] bread with [Job] in his house & they [mourned with] him & comforted him over all the [adversity] that the Lord had brought upon [Job.] 

Also, every man gave him a piece of money & everyone [gave] a gold earring. So, the Lord blessed the latter [years] of Job, more than his beginning. For [Job] had 14,000 sheep; 6,000 camels; 1,000 yoke of oxen & 1,000 [female donkeys.]

[Job] also had 7 sons & 3 daughters. And [Job] called the name of the 1st, Jemima, [a.k.a. Jemimah;] the name of the 2nd, Kezia, [a.k.a. Keziah] & the name of the 3rd, Keren-Happuch. There were no women found so fair in all that land, as the daughter of Job. And their father gave them [an] inheritance among their [brothers.] 

After this, Job lived 140 years. And [Job] saw his sons & his sons' sons, even [until] 4 generations. So, Job died, being old & full of [years.]

[Job 5:25-26 You shall also know that your [descendants] shall be great & your offspring [like] the grass of the earth. You shall come to your grave [at your] full age, like a shock of corn comes in [its] season.]
