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 41:1-13 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Psalm of David to the chief Musician. 

Psalm 41:1-13            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Blessed is he, [who] considers the poor. The Lord will deliver him in [times] of trouble. The Lord will [safeguard] him & keep him alive & He shall be blessed upon the earth. 

And You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. Upon the bed [wasting away,] the Lord will strengthen him & [restore him] in his sickness. I said, Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul; for I have sinned against You.

[Psalm 147:2-3 The Lord [builds] up Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. He heals the broken [hearted] & binds up their wounds.] [My] enemies speak evil of Me, When shall He die & His Name [perishes?] 

[Matthew 26:3-4 Then assembled together the chief priests, scribes & the 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.] 

And if he [comes] to see Me, he speaks [what is] vanity. His heart, itself gathers [sin to it.] He tells it, when he goes [around.] All, [who] hate Me, whisper together against Me & they [plot] My [harm.] 

[Matthew 26:13-16 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, [Judas] sought an opportunity to betray Him.] 

They say, A [terrible] disease [clings] to him & he shall no [longer] rise up, now that he lies [in the sickbed.] [*Yet, My] own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who [ate] of My bread, has lifted up his heel against Me. 

[Matthew 26:20-25 Now, when the [evening had] come, He sat down with the 12. And as they [ate,] He said, [Truly,] I say to you, that one of you shall betray Me. And they were [exceedingly] sorrowful & everyone of them began to say to Him, Lord, is it I? And He answered & said, He, who dips his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me. 

The Son of Man goes as it is written of Him. But woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It had been [better] for that man, if he had not been born. Then, Judas, [who] betrayed Him, [asked] & said, [Teacher,] is it I? [Jesus] said to [Judas,] You have said [it.] 

But, O Lord, be merciful to Me & You, raise Me up, [so] that I may [repay] them. [Revelation 22:12-15 And, [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give to every man, according to his deeds. I Am the Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. 

Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have 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 [to invent & tells lies.] 

By this, I know You favor Me, because [My] enemies don't triumph over Me. [John 20:26-30 And after 8 days, again His disciples were [inside] & Thomas with them. Then, Jesus came, the doors being shut & stood in the [middle] & said, Peace be to you. Then, He said to Thomas, Reach your finger [here & see] My hands. 

And reach your hand [here] & thrust it into My side & [don't] be [without faith,] but believing. And Thomas answered & said to Him, My Lord & my God. Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are [those who] haven't seen & [still] have believed.]

And as for Me, You uphold Me in [My] integrity & [put] Me before Your face forever. [Revelation 3:21-22 To him [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [in] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [in] His throne.] 

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Amen & Amen.
