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 37:1-40 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David.

Psalm 37:1-40            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

[Don't worry] yourself, because of [those who do evil.] Neither [should] you be envious against those who [work sinfully.] For they shall soon be cut down, like the grass & wither [like] the green herb. Trust in the Lord & do good; so you shall dwell in the land & truly, you shall be fed. 

[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 & thirst anymore. 

Neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne, shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

Also, delight yourself in the Lord & He shall give you the desires of your heart. [Dedicate] your [path] to the Lord & also trust in Him & He shall [make it happen.] And He shall bring forth your righteousness [like] the light & your [justice like] noon.

Rest in the Lord & wait patiently for Him. [Don't worry] yourself, because of him who prospers in [what he does,] because of the man, who [causes] wicked [plots to happen.]

[Psalm 145:18-21 The Lord is [near] to all [those who] call upon Him & to all [who] call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of [those who] fear [respect] Him. Also, He will hear their cry & will save them. The Lord [saves] all [those who] love Him: But He will destroy all the wicked.]

Cease from anger & [abandon fury.] [Don't worry] yourself [at all, about those who] do evil. For [those who do evil] shall be cut off: but those [who] wait upon the Lord, shall inherit the earth. For yet, [in] a little while, the wicked shall not be. [Yes,] you shall [seriously] consider his place & it shall not [exist.] 

[Revelation 22:12-15 And [look,] I come quickly & [My] reward with Me shall be, to give to every man according [to] his deeds. I am [the] Alpha & Omega, The Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. Blessed are [those who] do His 

Commandments, [so] that they may have [the] right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever] loves & [invents] a lie.] 

But the [humble] shall inherit the earth & shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. [Matthew 25:33-34 And He shall set the sheep on His right hand [side,] but the goats on the left. Then, the King shall say to them on His right hand, You come, [who] are blessed [by] My Father & inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.] 

The wicked [plot] against the just & gnash upon them with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for He sees that his day is coming. [1 Thessalonians 5:2-3 For [you] know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes [like] a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace & safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them [like labor pains] upon a woman [delivering a] child & they shall not escape.]

The wicked have [pulled their] sword out & have bent their bow, to [throw] down the poor & needy & to [kill those who speak righteously.] Their sword shall enter into their own heart & their bows shall be broken. A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many [who are] wicked. 

For the [weapons] of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord [defends] the righteous. The Lord knows the days of the [righteous] & their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time & in the days of famine, they shall be satisfied. 

[Isaiah 49:8-10 The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard you & I have helped you [during] the day of salvation. I will preserve You & give you for a covenant of the people to establish the earth, to cause the desolate heritages to [be] inherited.  [So,] that You may say to the prisoners, Go [out,] 

[And] to those in darkness, [Show] yourselves. They shall feed in the [paths] & their pastures shall be in all high places. They shall not hunger, nor thirst. Neither shall the heat, nor the sun [strike] them. For He, [Who] has mercy on them, shall lead them, even by the springs of water, He shall guide them.] 

But the wicked borrow & [don't repay.] But the righteous show mercy & give. For [they] shall be blessed [by] Him & shall inherit the earth. And [those who are] cursed [by] Him, shall be [destroyed.] 

[2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack [related] to His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient to us,] not [wanting] that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

But the Day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night. In which, the heavens shall pass away with a great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat & the earth also & the [things made] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.] 

The steps of a good man are [directed] by the Lord & He delights in his [ways.] [Psalm 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep Your [mandates!] [Although] he [falls,] he shall not [totally] be cast down: for the Lord [supports] him with HIs hand. I have been young & now am old.

[Still,] I haven't seen the righteous [abandoned,] nor his [descendants] begging [for] bread. [They] are [always] merciful & lend. And his [descendants] are blessed. Depart from evil & do good & live forever more.

[Ezekiel 18:21-23 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he has committed & keep all My [mandates] & do [what] is lawful & right, he shall surely live & he shall not die. 

All his [sins] he has committed, shall not be mentioned to him. He shall live in his righteousness that he has done. [Do] I have any pleasure at all, that the wicked should die? says the Lord God & not [instead] that he should return from his ways & live?] 

For the Lord loves [justice] & [doesn't abandon] his saints. They are [safeguarded] forever. But the [descendants] of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land & [live in it there] forever. The mouth of the righteous [speaks] wisdom & his tongue talks of [justice.]

[Matthew 12:35-37 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart, brings forth good things. And an evil man, out of the evil treasure, brings forth evil things. But I say to you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account [for them on] the Day of Judgment. For by your words you shall be justified & by your words you shall be condemned.]

The Laws of his God [are] in his heart & none of his steps shall [slip.] The wicked watches the righteous & seeks to slay him. The Lord won't leave [the righteous] in [the] hand [of the wicked,] nor condemn [the righteous] when he is judged. 

[2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of [troubles] & to reserve the unjust [until] the Day of Judgment to be punished.] Wait on the Lord & keep His [path]  & He shall exalt you to inherit the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

[Revelation 21:1-3 And I saw a new heaven & a new earth. For the 1st heaven & the 1st earth [had] passed away. And there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. 

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the Tabernacle of God is with men. And He will [live] with them & they shall be His people & God, Himself, shall be with them & be their God.] 

I have seen the wicked in great power & spreading himself [out] like a green bay tree. [Still,] he passed away & [look] he [no longer] was. [Yes,] I sought him, but he couldn't be found. [Note] the perfect man & [look at] the [righteous:] for the end of that man is peace. 

[Ephesians 2:12-14 But now, [during the] time, you were without Christ, being [foreigners] from the [region] of Israel & strangers from the covenants of promise, without God & having no hope in the world.

But now, [with faith] in Christ Jesus, you [who] were sometimes far [away,] are made mighty [through] the blood of Christ. For He, Who  is our peace, has made both one & has broken down the [middle] partition between us.]

But the [sinners] shall be destroyed together. The end of the wicked shall be cut off. But the salvation of the righteous is [from] the Lord. He is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them & deliver them. He shall deliver them from the wicked & save them, because they trust in Him. 

[Daniel 12:2-3 And many of [those who] sleep in the [dirt] of the earth, shall awake, some to everlasting life & some to shame & everlasting contempt. And [those who are] wise, shall shine [like] the brightness of the [sky] & [those who] turn many to righteousness [shall shine] like the stars forever & ever.]
