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 88:1-18 Book# 3 of Psalms

 

A Song or Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil [a.k.a Maskil] of Heman, the Ezrahite. 

Psalm 88:1-18            Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord God of my Salvation, I have cried [out] day & night before You. [Luke 18:6-7 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says. And shall God not avenge His Own [chosen, who] cry [out] day & night to Him, though He [puts up] with them?] 

[Lean] Your ear to my [out] cry & let my prayer come before You; for my soul is full of troubles & my life draws [near] to the grave. I am [included] with [those who] go down into the pit.

[Luke 22:41-44 And when He was at the place, He said to them, Pray that you [don't] enter into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's [throw] & kneeled down & prayed, saying, Father, if You [are] willing, remove this cup from Me, nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done. And there appeared an Angel to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. and being in agony, He prayed more earnestly & His sweat was [like] it were [large] drops of blood falling down to the ground.]

I am [like] a man [who] has no strength. Free, among the dead, like [those killed who] lie in the grave, whom You no [longer] remember & they are cut off from Your hand. You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the [deepest] darkness. Your wrath lies hard upon me & You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah. 

[Jonah 2:3 For You have cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas & the [flood waters surrounded around] me. All Your billows & Your waves passed over me.] 

You have put [My friends] far away from Me. You have made Me an abomination to them. I am shut up & I can't come [out.] [My] eye mourns, [because] of affliction. 

[Psalm 41:9 [Yet, My] Own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, [who ate] of My bread, has lifted up his heel against Me.]

Lord, I have called daily upon You & I have stretched out my hands to You. Will You [proclaim] wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise & praise You? Selah. Shall Your loving kindness be declared in the grave? Or Your faithfulness in destruction?

Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of [indifference?] But I have cried [out] to You, O Lord. Shall my prayer prevent You [from hearing,] in the morning. 

Lord, why [do] You cast off my [life?] Why [do] You hide Your face from me? From my youth up, I am afflicted & ready to die. I am distracted, while I suffer Your terrors. 

[John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, [so] that [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.]

Your fierce [anger floods] over Me & Your terrors have cut Me off. They came & [encircled] Me daily, like water. They [totally surrounded] Me. You have put lover & friend far from Me & [My] acquaintance into darkness. 

[Isaiah 53:5-7 But He was wounded for our [sins] & He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement [for] our peace was upon Him & with His stripes, we are healed. All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way & the Lord has laid on Him, the [sin] of us all. 

He was oppressed & He was afflicted. Yet He [didn't] open His mouth. He is brought [like] a lamb to the slaughter & [like] a sheep before the shearers is [mute,] so He [didn't] open His mouth.]
