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 79:1-13 Book# 3 of Psalm

 

A Psalm of Asaph.

Psalm 79:1-13            Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, the heathen [have] come into Your inheritance & they have defiled Your holy temple. They have laid Jerusalem [in] heaps. They have given the dead bodies of Your servants to be meat to the [birds] of heaven & the flesh of Your saints to the [animals] of the earth.

They have shed their blood like water [around] Jerusalem &  there [were] none [left] to bury them. We [have] become a [disgrace] to our neighbors, [looked down upon] & [ridiculed] by [those who are around] us. How long, Lord? Will You be angry forever? Shall Your jealousy burn like fire?

[Exodus 34:14-16 For you shall worship no other god. For the Lord, Whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God, lest you make a covenant [contract] with the inhabitants of the land & they go [like an unfaithful harlot] after their gods & sacrifice to their gods. 

And [someone] calls you & you eat of his sacrifice & you take of their daughters [for] your sons & their daughters go [like an unfaithful harlot] after their gods & make your sons go [like an unfaithful harlot] after their gods.] 

Pour out Your [fury] upon the heathen [who] haven't known You & upon the kingdoms that haven't called upon Your Name. For they have devoured Jacob & laid His dwelling place [in ruins.]

O [don't] remember against us [previous sins.] Let Your tender mercies speedily [preserve] us: for we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our Salvation, for the glory of Your Name. And deliver us & [cleanse] away our sins, for Your Name's sake.

[For what reason,] should the heathen say, Where is their God? Let Him be known among the heathen in our sight, by [avenging] the [bloodshed] of Your servants, which [has been] shed. Let the [groaning] of the [prisoners] come before You. 

According to Your [great] power, [save those who are scheduled] to die. And [deliver] to our neighbors 7 [times as much disgrace into their chest, as what] they have [disgraced] You, O Lord. So, we Your people & sheep of Your pasture, will give You thanks forever. We will [declare] Your praise to all generations.
