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 9:1-20 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician upon Muth-Labben

Psalm 9:1-20            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart. I will [tell of] all Your marvelous works. I will be glad & rejoice in You. I will sing praise to Your Name, O You, Most High. 

When [my] enemies [have] turned back, they shall fall & perish [in] Your presence. For You have [preserved] my [rights] & my cause. You sat [on] the throne judging, [what was] right. 

You [chastised] the heathen & You have destroyed the wicked. You have [extinguished] their name for ever & ever. O enemy, [your destruction] & cities you have destroyed [have] come to a [total] end.

Their [memory] has perished with them. But the Lord shall endure forever. He has prepared His throne for judgment. And He shall judge the world in righteousness & He shall [administer justice] to the people [honestly.] 

[Psalm 98:9 Before the Lord; for He comes to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness & the people with equity.] Also, the Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. [Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge & strength, a very present help in trouble.] 

And [those who] know Your Name will put their trust in You. For You, Lord, haven't [abandoned those who] seek You. Sing praises to the Lord, [Who] dwells in Zion. 

Declare among the people His [actions.] When [God interrogates about bloodshed,] He remembers them. He [doesn't] forget the cry of the humble. [Genesis 9:6 [Whoever] sheds man's blood, by man, his blood shall be shed. For in the image of God, He made man.] 

Have mercy on me, O Lord & consider my trouble which I suffer, [because] of [those who] hate me. You, [Who] lifts me up from the gates of death: [so] I may [tell of] all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion [a.k.a. Jerusalem.]

I will rejoice in Your salvation. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made. Their own foot is [caught] in the net which they hid. The Lord is known by the judgment which He executes. 

The wicked [are] snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion [a.k.a. song or meditation.] Selah. The wicked & all the nations that forget God shall be turned into hell. For the needy shall not [always] be forgotten.

The [hope] of the poor shall not perish forever. Arise, O Lord & [don't] let man prevail. Let the heathen be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord; [so] that the nations know [they are only] men. Selah.
