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 35:1-28 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David.

Psalm 35:1-28            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Plead my [case,] O Lord, with [those who quarrel] with me, fight against [those who] fight against me. Take hold of [the] shield & [armor] & stand up for [my] help. Also, draw out the spear & stop [those who] persecute me in the [road.] Say to my soul, I Am your Salvation. 

[Ephesians 6:16-17 Above all, [take] the shield of faith, [with which] you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of Salvation & the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.]

Let [those] be [confused] & put to shame [who] seek after My soul. Let [those] be [returned] back & brought to confusion [who] devise My harm. [Matthew 26:3-4 Then assembled together the chief priests, scribes & elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. And consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.]

Let them be [like stubble in front of] the wind. And let the [Lord's] Angel chase them. [Psalm 83:13 O my God, make them like a wheel; [like] the stubble before the wind.] Let their way be dark & slippery. And let the [Lord's] Angel persecute them.

For without cause they have [hidden] their net for me in a pit, which they have [dug] for my soul without cause. Let [them be unaware when] destruction [comes] upon him & let his net [that] he has [hidden] catch himself, [so] let him fall into that very [same] destruction. 

[Isaiah 47:11-12 Therefore, evil shall come upon you & you shall not know from [where] it rises. And [trouble] shall fall upon you & you shall not be able to put it off. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not know. 

Stand now with your enchantments & the multitude of your sorceries, [with which] you have labored from your youth. [Perhaps they may] be able to [benefit you, so you may prevail. 

And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord. It shall rejoice in His Salvation. All my bones shall say, Lord, Who is [similar] to You, [Who] delivers the poor from him [who] is too strong for him. [Yes,] the poor & needy from him [who plunders] him? 

[Revelation 7:15-17 Therefore, [those who] are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple & He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall no [longer] hunger, neither [shall they] thirst any more. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [burn] them. 

For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne, shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of waters & God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

* False witnesses did rise up & they laid to My charge things that I didn't know. [Luke 23:1-3 And the whole multitude of them arose & led Him to Pilate. And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation & forbidding to give [taxes] to Caesar, saying that He, Himself is Christ, a King. 

And Pilate asked Him, saying, Are you the King of the Jews? And He answered [Pilate] & said, You [have said so.] They rewarded Me evil for good, to the spoiling of My soul. 

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I humbled my soul with fasting & my prayer returned to [my] own [heart.] I behaved as though he had been my friend or brother; I bowed down [with a heavy heart like someone who] mourns for his mother.

[Psalm 41:9 [Yes, My] own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, [who] did eat of My bread, has lifted up his heel against Me.] But in [My] adversity, they rejoiced & gathered themselves together. [Yes,] the [despicable] gathered themselves together against Me & I [didn't] know it. 

[Matthew 26:14-15 Then, 1 of the 12, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests & said to them, What will you give me & I will deliver Him to you? And they [promised] him 30 pieces of silver. And from that time, he sought an opportunity to betray Him.]

[Those who try to rip] Me [apart, didn't] cease. [John 19:1- 3] Therefore, then Pilate took Jesus & [had Him whipped.] And the soldiers [twisted] a crown of thorns & put it on His head & they put on Him a purple robe & said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they [struck] Him with their hands.] 

With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth upon Me. [Mark 15:29-30 And [those who raged against] Him, wagging their heads, saying, Ah, You [Who] destroy the temple & build it in 3 days, Save Yourself & come down from the cross.]

Lord, how long will You look on. Rescue my soul from their [destruction,] my [precious life] from the lions. I will give You thanks in the great congregation. I will praise You among [many] people.

* Let not [those who] are My enemies wrongfully rejoice over Me. Neither let [those who hate Me] wink [their] eye without a cause. For they [don't] speak [peacefully:] but they devise deceitful [plots] against [those who] are quiet in the land. 

[Isaiah 53:3 He is despised & rejected [by] men. A man of sorrows & acquainted with grief. And we hid [like] it were our faces from Him. He was despised & we [didn't favor] Him.]

[Yes,] they opened their mouth wide against me & said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it. O Lord, this You have seen this, [don't] keep [silent.] O Lord, [don't] be far from Me. 

[Mark 15:34 And at the 9th hour Jeus cried [out] with a loud voice saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabach-thani? Which is being interpreted, My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?]

[Get] Yourself up & awake to my judgment, even to my [case,] my God & my Lord. O Lord, my God, judge me, according to Your righteousness & let them not rejoice over me.

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, we would have it so. Let them not say, We have [devoured &] swallowed Him up. Let [those who] rejoice at My [harm,] be ashamed & brought to confusion. 

[Mark 15:31 Likewise, the chief priests also [mocked,] saying among themselves with the scribes, He saved others, [but] He can't save Himself.]  Let them be clothed with shame & dishonor [who] magnify themselves against Me. 

Let [those who] favor My righteous cause, shout for joy & be glad. [Yes,] let them continually say, Let the Lord, [Who] has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant be magnified. 

[Luke 3:21-22 Now, when all the people were baptized, it [happened,] that Jesus, also being baptized & praying, the heaven was opened & the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him & a voice came from heaven, which said, You [are] My Beloved Son. In You, I am Well pleased.] 

And my [mouth] shall speak of Your righteousness & of Your praise all day long. [2 Timothy 4:8 [From now on] there is [set aside] for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me [on] that day & not only to me, but also to all [those who] love [Him at] His appearance.]
