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 84:1-12 Book# 3 of Psalms

 

A Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Gittith.

Psalm 84:1-12            Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

How [pleasant] Your tabernacles are, O Lord of Hosts! My soul longs, [yes,] even faints for the [Lord's courtyards.] My heart & my [skin] cry out for the Living God. 

[Yes,] the sparrow has found a house & the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even [like] Your altars, O Lord of Hosts, my King & my God. [2 Chronicles 6:5-6 Since the day that I brought [forward] My people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, [so] My Name might be there. Neither [did] I [choose] any man to be a ruler over My people, Israel. But I have chosen Jerusalem, [so] My Name might be there & I have chosen David to be over My people, Israel.]

Blessed are [those who] dwell in Your house. They will [continue] praising You. Selah. Blessed is the man, whose strength is in You, in Whose heart are [their pathways.] Who passing through the Valley of Baca, [a.k.a The Valley of Weeping,] make it a well. The rain also fills the pools.

[Isaiah 41:17-18 When the poor & needy seek water & there's none & their tongue fails for thirst, I, the Lord, will hear them. I, the God of Israel, will not [abandon] them. I will open rivers on high places & fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water & the dry land, springs of water.]

They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appears before God. [Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will [live] with them & they shall be His people. And God, Himself shall be with them & be their God. 

* And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes & there shall be nor more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain: for the [previous] things have passed away.]

O Lord God of Hosts, hear my prayer. [Lean Your] ear [& listen,] O God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] Selah. [See,] O God our shield & look upon the face of Your anointed. For a day in Your [courtyards] is better than 1,000. I had rather be a door keeper in the house of my God, than to [live] in the tents of wickedness. 

For the Lord God is a sun & a shield. The Lord will give grace & glory. He will [not] withhold [any] good thing from [those who] walk [honestly.] O Lord of Hosts, blessed is the man [who] trusts in You.
