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 44:1-26 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, Maschil [a.k.a. Maskil.]

Psalm 44:1-26            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

With our [own] ears, we have heard, O God, what our [forefathers] told us, [Your] work You did in their days, in [ancient] times. How You [drove] out the heathen with Your hand & planted [our forefathers.] 

[Exodus 12:25-27 And it shall [happen,] when you come to the land [that] the Lord will give you, according [to His promise,] that you shall keep this service. And it shall [happen,] when your children shall say to you, What [do] you mean by this service? 

You shall say, it is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, Who passed over the [houses] of the children [people] of Egypt, when He [struck] the Egyptians & delivered our [houses.] And the people bowed [their heads] & worshiped.]

How You afflicted the people & cast them out. For they [didn't] get the land [as a] possession by their own sword. Neither did their own arm save them. But Your right hand & Your arm & the Light of Your [appearance,] because You [favored] them.

[Joshua 24:11-14 And you went over [the] Jordan [River] & came into Jericho. And the men of Jericho fought against you & the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites & the Jebusites. And I delivered them into your hand. And I sent the [hornets in front of] you, which [drove] them out from before you. 

Even the 2 kings of the Amorites, but not with your sword, nor with your bow. And I have given you a land, for which you didn't [work] & cities, [that] you [didn't] build & you [live] in them. [And] you eat [from] vineyards & [olive groves,] which you [didn't plant.] 

Therefore, now fear [respect] the Lord & serve Him in sincerity & in truth. And put away the gods [that] your [forefathers] served [before] the flood & in Egypt & serve the Lord.]

O God, You are my King. Command [deliverance] for Jacob [a.k.a. Israel.] We will push down our enemies, through You. Through Your Name, we will [trample down those who] rise up against us. 

For I won't trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. But You have saved us from our enemies & have put [those who hate] us to shame. In God, we boast all the day long & praise Your Name forever. Selah.

[Jeremiah 9:24 But let him [who boasts, boast] in this, that he understands & knows Me. I Am the Lord, [who delivers] loving kindness, [justice] & righteousness, in the earth. For I delight in these things, says the Lord.] 

But You [don't go out] with our armies & have cast off & put us to shame. You make us [return] back from the enemy. And [those who] hate us, [plunder] us for themselves. You have given us, like sheep [scheduled to become food.] And have scattered us among the heathen. 

[Ezekiel 6:8-10 [Still,] I will leave a remnant, [so] you may have some [who] shall escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries. And [those] of you [who] escape, shall remember Me among the nations [where] they shall be carried captives. 

Because I am broken [by] their [unfaithful hearts, like harlots,] that have departed from Me. And with their eyes, go [unfaithfully] after their idols. And they shall loathe themselves for the [evil] they have committed, [by] all their abominations. And they shall know that I Am the Lord & that I haven't said in vain, that I would [bring this calamity on] them.] 

You sell Your people for [nothing] & don't increase your wealth by their price. You make us a [disgrace] to our neighbors, [looked down upon & mocked by those who are around] us. You make us [infamous] among the heathen & a [reason to shake heads] among the people. 

My [dishonor] is continually before me & my face [is] covered [with] shame. [Because of] the enemy & [punisher] & the voice of him [who reprimands & insults] me. All this [has] come upon us, [still] we haven't forgotten You. Neither have we dealt falsely [regarding] Your covenant [contract.] 

[Daniel 9:13-15 As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil [has] come upon us. [Still,] we [didn't] make our prayer before the Lord our God, [so] that we might turn from our [sins] & understand the truth. Therefore, the Lord has watched upon the evil & brought it upon us. 

For the Lord our God is righteous in all His [deeds] He does. For we [didn't] obey His voice. And now, O Lord our God, [Who] has brought Your people [forward] out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand [that made] You [famous, like it is] this day; we have sinned & we have done wickedly.] 

Our [hearts haven't] turned [away] & our steps [haven't departed] from Your [path, although,] You have [severely] broken us, in the place of [jackals] & covered us with the shadow of death. If we have forgotten the Name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god, [wouldn't] God search this out? 

For He knows the secrets of the heart. [Yet,] for Your sake, we are killed all the day long. We are [considered like] sheep for the slaughter. O Lord, why [do] You sleep? [Wake up.] 

Arise & [don't] cast us off forever. [Why do] You hide Your face & forget our affliction & oppression? For our soul is bowed down to the [dirt] & our belly [clings] to the [ground.] Arise, for our help & redeem us for Your mercies' sake.
