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.

Psalm 10:1-18 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

Psalm 10:1-18            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Why [do] You stand [far away,] O Lord? Why [do] You hide Yourself in times of trouble? In his pride, the wicked persecute the poor. Let them be [caught in their plots] they have imagined. [Psalm 9:15 The heathen are [sunken] down in the pit that they made. Their own foot is [caught] in the net [that] they hid.] 

For the wicked boast of his heart's desire & blesses the [envious,] whom the Lord [loathes.] Through the pride of his [appearance,] the wicked won't seek after God. God isn't in all his thoughts.

Your judgments are far [beyond] his sight. His ways are always grievous & as for all his enemies, he puffs at them [in disgust.] He said [within] his heart, I shall not be [removed:] for I shall never [have] adversity.

[Psalm 49:11 Their thought [within] is that their house shall continue forever & their dwelling places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names.] 

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit & fraud. Under his tongue is [what is] mischief & vanity. He sits in the secret places of villages lurking, he [murders] the innocent.

His eyes are [secretly] set against the poor. He lies in wait, secretly [to ambush like] a lion in his den. He lies in wait to catch the poor. He [catches] the poor, when he [entices] him into his net.

He [deceptively] crouches & humbles himself, [so] the poor may fall by his strong ones. He has said in his heart, God has forgotten. He hides His face & He will never see it.

Arise, O Lord. O God, lift up Your hand & [don't] forget the humble. [Psalm 17:7 Show Your marvelous loving kindness, by Your right hand, O You, [Who] saves [those who] put their trust in You, from those [who] rise up against them.]

[For what reason do] the wicked [despise] God? He has said in his heart, You won't require [me to be accountable for] it. You have seen it, for You [see] mischief & spite, to [repay] it with Your hand.

The poor [devotes] himself to You. You are the helper of the fatherless. [Psalm 68:5 In His holy habitation, God is a Father to the fatherless & a judge [on behalf] of the widows.]

[Lord God,] break the arm of the wicked & the evil man. Seek out his wickedness [until] You find none. The Lord is King forever & ever. The heathen [have] perished out of His land. 

Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart & will cause Your ear to hear & to judge the fatherless & oppressed, [so] that the [wicked] man of the earth, may no [longer] oppress. 

[Matthew 5:10 Blessed are [those who] are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.]
