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 59:1-17 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

Michtam, [a.k.a. Miktam] of David, to the chief Musician, Altaschith, when Saul sent & they watched the house to kill him. 

Psalm 59:1-17            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O my God, deliver me from [my] enemies & defend me from [those who] rise up against me. Deliver me from [those who work sinfully] & save me from the [bloodthirsty] men. For, [look,] they lie in wait [to ambush] my soul. The mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, or for my sin, O Lord. 

[Matthew 22:15-21 Then the Pharisees went & took counsel [on] how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent out their disciples & the Herodians to Him, saying, [Teacher,] we know that You are true & teach the way of God in truth.

Neither [do] You [show partiality] for any man. For You [don't] regard the [status] of men. Therefore, tell us, What [do] You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? But Jesus [realized] their wickedness & said, Why [do] you hypocrites tempt Me? [Show] Me the tribute money.

And they brought a penny to Him. And He said to them, Whose is this image & [inscription?] They said to Him, Caesar's. Then He said to them, [Give] to Caesar the things [that] are Caesar's & to God, the things that are God's.]

Awake to help me & [see.]  Without my fault, they run & prepare themselves. [2 Corinthians 5:20-21 Then, now we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did [urge] you [through] us.

We pray [for] you [on] Christ's [behalf, so] you [are] reconciled to God. For [God] has made Him to be [the atonement of] sin for us, [Who] knew no sin, [so] that we might be made the righteousness of God [through] Him.]

Therefore, O Lord God of Hosts, awake to visit all the heathen. God of Israel [don't] be merciful to any wicked [sinners.] Selah. They return at [night] & make a [howl] like a dog & go [around] the city. [See,] their lips are swords. With their mouths they [spew] out. They say, For who hears [us?] 

[Psalm 57:4 My soul is among the lions & I even lie among [those who] are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears & arrows & their tongues are a sharp sword.]

O Lord, but You shall laugh at them. You shall [mock at] all the heathen. [Proverbs 1:26 Also, I will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when your [terror] comes.] I will wait on You, because of His strength: for God is my defense. My God of mercy shall [safeguard] me.

God shall let me see my desire upon [my] enemies. [Don't kill] them, lest my people forget. Scatter them by Your power. O Lord, our Shield, bring them down. Let them be taken in their pride, for the sin of their [mouths,] the words of their lips, cursing & [saying lies.] Consume them in [anger.]

Consume them & [make an end of] them & let them know that God rules Jacob [a.k.a. Israel,] unto the ends of the earth. Selah. [Now,] let them return at [night] & [howl] like a dog & go [around] the city. Let them wander [back & forth] for [food] & [grumble, because] they [aren't] satisfied. 

But I will sing of Your power. [Yes,] I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning. For You have been my defense & refuge [on] the day of my trouble. I will sing to You, O my strength. For God is my defense & the God of my mercy.
