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 8:1-9 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm Of David, to the chief Musician upon Gittith

Psalm 8:1-9            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth! Who has [put] Your glory above the heavens. 

* Out of the mouth of babes & [the nursing,] You have [appointed] strength, because of Your enemies, [so] You might [silence] the enemy & the avenger. Matthew 21:15-16 * And when the chief priests & scribes saw the wonderful things that He did & the children crying [out] in the temple, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David. 

They were [very indignant] & said to Him, [Do] You hear what these say? And Jesus said to them, [Yes,] haven’t you ever read, Out of the mouth of babes & [the nursing,] You have perfected praise?]

When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon & stars, which You have [decreed.]

[Genesis 1:16-17 And God made 2 great lights. The greater light to rule the day & the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. And God [put] them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.]

What is man, that You are mindful of him? And the son of man, that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels & have crowned him with glory & honor.

*You made him to have [control] over the works of Your hands. You have put all things under hIs feet: All sheep, oxen, [animals] of the field, the [birds] of the air & the fish of the sea & [whatever] passes through the paths of the seas.

[Revelation 1:5-8 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness & the first begotten of the dead & the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him, [Who] loved us & washed us from our sins in His Own blood. And has made us [a kingdom of] priests to God & His Father & to Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen.

Behold, He comes with clouds & every eye shall see Him. And [those] also [who] pierced Him. Even so. Amen. I am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, which is & which was & which is to come, the Almighty.]

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth!
