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 77:1-20 Book#3 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of Asaph, to the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. 

Psalm 77:1-20             Book#3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

With my voice, I cried [out] to God, even to God with my voice & He [lent His] ear [& listened] to me. [On] the day of my trouble, I sought the Lord. The [discharge] from [wound] ran [during] the night. [without ceasing.] My soul refused to be comforted. 

I complained & was troubled & my spirit was overwhelmed, [then,] I remembered God. Selah. I am so troubled, that I can't speak & You [focus my] eyes [while] waking [up.] I have [given thought to] the days of old & the years of ancient times. 

I [talked within my] own heart & my spirit [thoroughly searched] & I [remembered] my song in the night. Will the Lord [no longer find favor] & will He cast [us] off forever? Does His promise fail [forever?] Is His mercy [totally] gone forever? 

[Nehemiah 9:26-27 [However] they were disobedient & rebelled against You & cast Your Law behind their backs & [killed] Your prophets, [who] testified against them, to [return] them to You & they [did large provoking things.] 

Therefore, You delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who [distressed] them. And in the time of their trouble, when they cried [out] to You, You heard them from heaven & according to Your [numerous] mercies, You gave them [deliverers,] who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.]

Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He shut up His tender mercies in His anger? Selah. And I said, This is my [affliction:] but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. [Exodus 15:3-6 The Lord is a Man of War. The Lord is His Name. He cast Pharaoh's chariots & his [army] into the sea. 

Also, [Pharaoh's] chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea. The depths have covered them & they sank to the bottom [like] a stone. Your right hand, O Lord, [has] become glorious in power. Your right hand, O Lord, has dashed the enemy [into] pieces.] 

I will remember the [Lord's] works, surely, I will remember Your wonders of old. [Deuteronomy 8:3-4 And He humbled you & [allowed] you to hunger & fed you with manna, which you & your [forefathers hadn't previously known; so] that He might make you know that man doesn't live by bread [alone,] but man does live by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. 

Your clothing didn't [grow] old upon you & neither did your foot swell these 40 years. You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastises his son, so the Lord your God chastises you.] 

I will [think about] all Your work & talk of Your [deeds.] O God, Your way is in the sanctuary; Who is so great a God as our God? You are the God, [Who] does wonders. You have declared Your strength among the people. 

With Your arm, You have redeemed Your people, the sons of Jacob & Joseph. Selah. The waters saw You, O God. The waters saw You & they were afraid. Also, the depths were troubled. [Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. 

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

The clouds poured out water & the skies sent out a [thundering] sound. And also Your arrows went abroad. The [sound] of Your thunder was in the heaven & the lightnings [enlightened] the world. The earth trembled & shook. 

[Exodus 19:16-18 And it [happened] on the 3rd day in the morning, that there were thunders & lightnings & a thick cloud upon the mount & the [sound of an exceedingly] loud trumpet; so that all the people that [were] in the camp trembled.

And Moses brought [forward] the people out of the camp to meet with God. And they stood at the [lower] part of the mount. And Mount Sinai was [totally smoking,] because the Lord [went down] upon it in fire & [its] smoke [went up like] the smoke of a furnace & the whole mount greatly quaked.] 

Your [road] is in the sea & Your path in the [expansive] waters & Your footsteps are not known. You led Your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses & Aaron.
