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 72:1-20 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm for Solomon.

Psalm 72:1-20            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

God, give the king Your [justice] & Your righteousness to the king's son. He shall judge Your people with righteousness & the poor with [justice.] [Through] righteousness, the mountains & the hills shall bring peace to the people. 

[* Isaiah 11:4 But He will judge the poor with Righteousness & will [repay] the meek of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod of His mouth & with the breath of His lips, He shall slay the wicked.]

* He shall judge the poor of the people, He shall save the children of the needy & shall break the oppressor [into] pieces. [Revelation 7:15-17 Therefore, they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell among them. 

They shall no [longer] hunger [or] thirst any more. Neither shall the sun, nor heat [burn] them. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the [middle] of the throne, shall feed them & shall lead them into Living Fountains of waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

* They shall fear [respect] You as long as the sun & moon endure, throughout all generations. [Psalm 89:36 His seed shall endure forever & his throne, [like] the sun before Me.]  

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass & [like] showers that water the earth. In His days the righteous shall flourish. As long as the moon endures, so [shall an] abundance of peace. He shall also have [power] from sea to sea & from river to river, unto the ends of the earth. 

[Exodus 23:31-32 And I will [put] your [boundaries] from the Red Sea, even to the sea of the Philistines & from the desert unto the river. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land int your hand. And you shall drive them out before you.  You shall not make [any] covenant [contract] with them, nor with their gods.]

* [Those who] dwell in the wilderness, shall bow before Him & His enemies shall lick the dust. [Micah 7:17 They shall lick the dust like a [snake] & they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth. They shall be afraid of the Lord our God & shall] be [fearful,] because of You.] 

The kings of Tarshish & the [coastal islands] shall bring presents & the kings of Sheba & Seba shall offer gifts. [Yes,] all the kings shall fall down before [the king] & all the nations shall serve him. 

[Isaiah 49:23 And kings shall be your [foster] fathers & their queens your [foster] mothers. They shall bow down to you with their face toward the [ground] & lick up the dust [off] your feet. And you shall know that I Am the Lord: for [those who] wait for Me, shall not be ashamed.] 

For [the king] shall deliver the needy when he cries [out] & also the poor & him, [who] has no helper. He shall spare the poor & needy & shall save the [lives] of the needy. He shall redeem their [life] from deceit & violence. And precious shall their blood be in his sight. 

[1 Samuel 26:21 Then, Saul said, I have sinned. Return, my son, David. For I will no [longer] do harm [to] you, because my [life] was precious in your eyes this day. [Look,] I have played the fool & have erred exceedingly.]

And he shall live & the gold of Sheba shall be given to [the king.] Also, prayer shall be made for [the king] continually. And He shall be praised daily. Upon the tops of the mountains, there shall be a handful of [grain] in the earth. [Its] fruit, shall shake like Lebanon. And [those] of the city shall flourish like [the] grass of the earth.

* His Name shall endure forever. His Name shall be continued, as long as the sun & men shall be blessed in Him. All nations shall call Him blessed. [* Mark 11:7-9 And they brought the colt to Jesus & [threw] their garments on him & He sat on him. 

And many spread their garments in the [road] & others cut down branches off the trees & [spread] them out in the [road.] And [those who] went [in front] & [those who] followed, cried [out,] saying, Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord.]

Blessed [is] the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things. [Psalm 103:2-4 Bless the Lord, O my soul & [don't] forget all His benefits. Who forgives all your [sins;] Who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; Who crowns you with loving kindness & tender mercies.] 

And blessed be His glorious Name forever & let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen & Amen. The prayers of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.
