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 49:1-20 Book# 2 of Psalms

To the chief Musician, A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

Psalm 49:1-20            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

All you people, hear this. [Lean] your ear, all you inhabitants of the world. Both the [powerless & the powerful,] the rich & the poor together. My mouth shall speak of the meditation of my heart, [which] shall be of wisdom & understanding. 

I will [lean] my ear to a parable. On the harp, I will [disclose] my dark [sayings.] [Mark 4:10-12 And when He was alone, [those who were around] Him with the 12 asked Him [about] the parable. And He said to them, Unto you, it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God; but to them [who] are without [faith,] all these things are done in parables. 

[So] that seeing they may see & not [realize] & hearing, they may hear & not understand; lest at any time they should be converted & their sins should be forgiven them.]

[Why] should I [be afraid, during] the evil days, when the [sinfulness around] my heels shall [surround] me? [2 Corinthians 1:14 [Like] you also have [partially understood] us, [so] we [join] your rejoicing, even [like] you also [will join in] ours, [on] the day the Lord Jesus comes.] 

None of [those who] trust in their wealth & boast of the multitude of their riches; can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. (For redemption of the soul is [priceless] & [money] ceases [to have value] forever.) 

[Matthew 16:26-27 For what is a man [benefited,] if he shall gain the whole world & lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? * For the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father, with His Angels. And then He shall reward every man according to his [deeds.] 

Should he [who has wealth] live forever & not see corruption? [Psalm 89:48 What man is he, [who] lives & shall not see death? Shall he deliver his [own] soul from the hand [that covers] the grave?] 

For he sees that wise men die, [as well as] the fool. The [senseless] person [perishes] & leaves their wealth to others. Their [deepest] thought is, that their [households] shall continue forever & their places [where they dwell] [shall continue] to all generations. They [even] call their lands after their own names. 

[Still,] being an [honorable] man [doesn't endure,] he is like the [animals] that perish. Their way [of doing] this, is their [lack of good judgment.] Yet, their [descendants] approve [of what they say.] Selah. [Luke 12:18-20 And he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns & build [larger ones,] where I may [store] all my fruits & [possessions.] 

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have [many possessions stored] up for many years. Take [it easy] & eat, drink & be merry. But God said to him, You fool. This night your soul shall be required of you. Then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?] 

Like sheep, they are laid in the grave. Death shall feed on them & in the morning, the [righteous] shall have [power] over them & their beauty shall [rot away] from their dwelling in the grave. 

[Revelation 2:26-27 And he [who] overcomes & [keeps doing] My [work,] until the end, I will give power to him over the nations & he shall rule them with a rod of iron, even [like] I have received from My Father.They shall be broken [into slivers like] the [clay] vessels of the potter.] 

* But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave. For He shall receive me. Selah. [1 Timothy 3:16 And without [disputing] the mystery of godliness, God was [clearly visible] in the flesh, justified [through] the Spirit, seen [by] Angels & preached to the Gentiles, believed in [by] the world & received up into glory.] 

[Don't] be afraid when one is made rich & when the glory of his house is increased. For when he dies, he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not [go down] after him. 

[Although] while he lived, he blessed his soul & men will praise you when you do well [for] yourself. He shall go to the generation of his [forefathers] & they shall never see light. Man [who has] honor & [doesn't] understand, is like the [animals] who perish.
