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 86:1-17 Book# 3 of Psalms

A Prayer of David.

Psalm 86:1-17           Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, bow Your ear down & hear me: for I am poor & needy. [Save] my [life;] for I am holy. O You, my God, save Your servant, [who] trusts in You.  [Psalm 20:6 Now, I know that the Lord saves His anointed. He will hear him from His Holy Heaven with the saving strength of His right hand.]

O Lord, be merciful to me, for I cry [out] to You daily. O Lord, the soul of Your servant, [rejoices] & I do lift up my soul to You. For You are good, Lord & ready to forgive, [with plentiful] mercy to all [those who] call upon You. 

O Lord, [lean] Your ear [& listen] to my prayer. [Be attentive] to the voice of my [requests.] [On] the day of my [troubles,] I will call upon You: for You will answer me. There is none [similar] to You, among the gods, O Lord. Neither are there any works [similar] to Your works. 

[Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the [Red] 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.]

All nations whom, You have made shall come & worship before You, O Lord & shall glorify Your Name. [Ephesians 3:4-6 [By this,] when you read [it,] you may understand my knowledge [about] the mystery of Christ.) 

Which was not made known to the sons of men, in [previous times,] as it is now revealed to His holy apostles & prophets [through] the Spirit: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs & of the same body [of believers] of His promise in Christ, [through] the gospel.] 

For You are great & do wondrous things. You alone Are God. [Isaiah 37:16 O Lord of Hosts, God of Israel, [Who] dwells between the cherubims, You Are the God, even You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven & earth.] 

Teach me Your [ways,] O Lord & unite my heart to fear [respect] Your Name & I will walk in Your Truth. I will praise You, O Lord my God & I will glorify Your Name with all my heart forever more. For Your mercy is great toward me & You have delivered my [life] from the lowest hell. 

O God, the proud [have] risen against me & the [mobs] of violent men, [who] haven't [put] You before them, have sought after my [life.] But You, O Lord, Are a God full of: compassion & [are] gracious, [patient & plentiful] in mercy & truth. 

O [return] to me & have mercy upon me. Give Your strength to Your servant & save the son of Your handmaid. [Show] me a [sign] for good; that [those who] hate me may see it & be ashamed: because You, Lord, have [helped] me & comforted me.

[John 15:18-19 If the world [hates] you, you know that it hated Me, before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love [its] own: but because you are not of the world. But I have chosen you out of the world, therefore, the world hates you.]
