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 57:1-11 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician, Altaschith, Michtam, [a.k.a. Miktam] of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.

Psalm 57:1-11            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Be merciful to me. O God, be merciful to me: for my soul trusts in You. [Yes,] in the [shade] of Your wings, I will make my refuge, until these calamities [are past.] I will cry [out] to God Most High. 

To God, [Who accomplishes] all things for me. From heaven, He shall send & save me from the [disgrace] of him, [who] would [devour] me. Selah. God shall send [out] His mercy & His Truth. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.]

My soul is among lions & I even lie among [those who] are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears & arrows. And their tongue [is] a sharp sword. You, O God, be exalted above the heavens. Let Your glory be above all the earth. 

They have prepared a net for my [feet.] My soul is bowed down. They have [dug] a pit [in front of] me, [which] they [have] fallen [into] the midst of it themselves. Selah. O God, my heart is [firmly focused] & I will sing & give praise. My heart is [steadfast.] 

[Psalm 108:5-6 Be You exalted, O God, above the heavens & Your glory above all the earth, [so] Your beloved may be delivered. Save with Your right hand & answer me.]

[Wake] up, my glory. Awake, [lyre] & harp. I will [awaken] myselfearly. O Lord, I will praise You among the people. I will sing to You among the nations. For Your mercy is [immense, up to] the heavens & Your Truth [is to] the clouds. 

Be You exalted, O God, above the heavens. Let Your glory be above all the earth. [Revelation 4:11 You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honor & power. For You have created all things & they were created for Your pleasure.]
