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 68:1-35 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm or Song of David, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 68:1-35            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Let God [rise up] & let His enemies be scattered. Also, let [those who] hate Him, flee before Him. 

[Numbers 10:35 And it [happened,] when the Ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, Lord & let Your enemies be scattered & let [those who] hate You, flee before You.] 

[Like] smoke is driven away, [also] drive them away. [Like] wax melts, [in front of] the fire, so [in a similar manner,] let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. 

[Yes,] let them rejoice exceedingly. Sing to God. Sing praises to His Name. [Enthusiastically praise] Him, [Who] rides upon the heavens, by His Name, JAH, & rejoice before Him. 

God is a Father of the fatherless & a judge of the widows, in His holy habitation. God [puts those who are alone, into] families. He brings out those [who] are bound with chains, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. 

[Isaiah 42:6-8 I, the Lord, have called You in Righteousness & will hold Your hand & keep You & give You for a covenant [contract] of the people, for a Light of the Gentiles; *To open the eyes [of] the blind, to bring out the prisoners from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness, out of the prison house.

I am the Lord. That is My Name. And I will not give My glory to another, neither My praise to [carved] images.] 

O God, when You marched through the wilderness, You went [out] before Your people. Selah. The earth shook, also the heavens dropped [rain] at [God's] presence. Even Sinai, itself was moved at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You, O God, [sent] plentiful rain, [with which] You [confirmed] Your inheritance, when it was weary. [Leviticus 26:1-4 You shall [not] make [any] idols, nor [carved images,] neither shall you rear up [for yourself] a standing image.

Neither shall you [put] up any image of stone in Your land, to bow down to it. For I Am the Lord your God. You shall keep My Sabbaths & [respect] My sanctuary. I Am the Lord. 

If you [follow] in My [mandates] & keep My commandments & do them, Then, I will give you rain in [the appropriate time] & the land shall [produce its] increase & the trees of the field shall [produce its] fruit.] 

Your congregation has [lived in there.] You, O God,have prepared [from] Your goodness, for the poor. The Lord gave the Word. [Large] was the company of those [who declared] it. 

[1 John 1:1-3 That Which was from the beginning, Which we have heard, [Who] we have seen with our eyes, [Who] we have handled, of the Word of Life. (For the Life was [made visible] & we have seen it & bear witness & [show] to you that Eternal Life, which was with the Father & was [made apparent] to us.) 

That [Whom] we have seen & heard, we declare to you, [so] you may also have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father & with His Son, Jesus Christ.]

Kings of armies did flee [hurriedly] & she [who waited] at home, divided the [plunder.] [Although] you have [laid down] among the [dirty] pots, [still] you shall be [like] the wings of a dove covered with silver & her feathers with yellow gold. 

When the Almighty scattered the kings in it. It was white as snow in Salmon, [a.k.a. Mount Zalmon.] [Joshua 9:10-11 Therefore, Joshua went up from Gilgal all night & came to them suddenly. 

And the Lord [confused] them before Israel & [killed] them with a [large] slaughter at Gibeon & chased them along the [road] that goes up to Beth Horon & [struck them down] to Azekah & to Makkedah. 

And it [happened,] as they fled before Israel & were going down to Beth Horon, the Lord cast down [large] stones from heaven upon them, [all the way to] Azekah & they died. [There] were more [who] died with hailstones, than [those] whom the children [people] of Israel [struck down] with the sword.]

The [mountain] of God is [like Mount] Bashan. [Mount] Bashan is a high [mountain.] Why do you leap high [mountains?] This is the mountain [in] which God desires to [live] in. [Yes,] the Lord will [live] in it forever. God [has] 20,000 chariots & even 1,000’s of Angels. 

The Lord is among them, [like] in Sinai, in the Holy Place. [Deuteronomy 33:2 And [Moses] said, The Lord came from Sinai & rose up from Seir to them. He shined forth from Mount Paran & He came with 10,000's of saints. From His right hand went a fiery Law for them.]

* You have ascended on high. You have led [those] captive [from] captivity. You have received gifts for men. [Yes,] for the rebellious also, [so] that the Lord God might dwell among them. 

[John 3:13-16 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but He, [Who] came down from heaven, even the Son of Man, [Who] is in heaven. And [like] Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so, the Son of Man must be lifted up. That [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn't] bring His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.] 

Blessed be the Lord, Who daily loads us with benefits, even the God of our Salvation. Selah. And [those who escape] from death belong unto God, the Lord. He, [Who] is our God, is the God of Salvation. 

[Revelation 22:12-15 And [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give to every man according as 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 & tell lies.]

But God shall wound the head of His enemies & the hairy scalp of [those who continue] on in his [sins.] [Deuteronomy 32:39-40 See now, that I, even I, Am He & there is no god with Me. I kill & I make alive. I wound & I heal. Neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand. For I lift up My hand to heaven & say, I live forever.]

The Lord said, I will bring from Bashan again, I will bring My people again from the depths of the sea. [Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea & the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night & made the sea dry land & the waters were divided. 

And the children [people] of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground & the waters were a wall to them on their right hand & on their left.] 

[So,] that your foot may be dipped in the blood of your enemies & the tongue of your dogs in the same. [1 Kings 21:18-19 Arise & go down to meet Ahab, [Israel's] king, [who] is in Samaria. [Look,] he is in the vineyard of Naboth, [where] he has gone down to possess it. 

And you shall [say] to him, saying, The Lord [says this, Have] you killed & also taken possession? And you shall [say] to him, saying, the Lord [says this,] In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.] 

They have seen Your goings, O God, even the going of my God, my King, in the sanctuary. The singers went before, the players [of] instruments followed after. Among them were the [young ladies] playing with [tambourines.] [1 Chronicles 15:27-28 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen & also had upon him a linen ephod.

And all the Levites, [who carried] the Ark & the singers & Chenaniah, [the music director,] & all the singers. [Like this,] all Israel brought up the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord with shouting, with [the] sound of: cornets, trumpets & cymbals making noise with [lyres] & harps.]

You, bless God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the Fountain of Israel. [Revelation 21:6 And He said to me, It is done. I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End. I will give to him, who is [thirsty, from] the Fountain of the Water of Life freely.] 

There is [small] Benjamin with [its] ruler, the princes of Judah & their council, the princes of Zebulun & the princes of Naphtali. [1 Samuel 9:21 And Saul answered & said, Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? And my family, the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? [Then, why do] you speak to me?]

Your God has commanded your strength. God strengthen [what] You have [fashioned] for us. Because of Your temple [in] Jerusalem, kings shall bring presents to You. 

[1 Kings 10:10 And she gave the king 120 talents of gold, [a] very [large amount] of spices & precious stones. There [never] came [again] such abundance of spices as these, which the Queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.] 

[Chastise] the company of [archers,] the multitude of bulls, with calves [from] the people, [until] everyone submits himself with pieces of silver. You scatter the people [who] delight in [the bloodshed of] war.

[Isaiah 1:11-15 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me? [says] the Lord. I am full of the burnt offerings of rams & the fat of fed [animals] & I [don't] delight in the blood of [bulls,] lambs, or [male] goats.

Who has required this at your [hands, when you come to appear before Me, to [trample] My [courtyards?] No [longer] bring [worthless offerings.] Incense is [detestable] to Me. The calling of the assemblies [for] the: New Moons & Sabbaths, I can't [go along with.] It is [sinful,] even the solemn [meetings.] 

My soul hates your New Moons & your feasts. They are [troublesome] to Me. I am [tired of putting up with] them. And when you spread [out] your hands, I will hide [My] eyes from you. [Yes,] when you make many prayers, I won't hear. Your hands are full of blood.] 

Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God. [Isaiah 19:23-25 And the Lord shall [strike] Egypt & He shall [strike] & heal it. And they shall even return to the Lord & He shall be [petitioned on their behalf for] them & shall heal them. 

[On] that day, there shall be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria. And the Assyrian shall come into Egypt & the Egyptian into Assyria. And the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians. 

[On] that day, Israel shall be the 3rd with Egypt & with Assyria, even a blessing in the [middle] of the land. Whom the Lord of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt, My people & Assyria, the work of My Hands & Israel [My] inheritance.]

Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth. O sing praises to the Lord. Selah. To Him, [Who] rides upon the [heaven] of heavens, [Who existed] of old, [look,] He [sends] out His voice & [it] is a mighty voice. 

[Revelation 3:20-21 [Look,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man hears My voice & opens the door, I will come into him & will [eat] with him & he with Me. To him [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne.] 

You [attribute] strength to God. His [excellence] is over Israel & His strength is in the clouds. O God, You [are terribly awesome from] Your Holy Places. He is the God of Israel, [Who] gives strength & power to His people. Blessed [is] God.
