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 90:1-17 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

A Prayer of Moses, the man of God.

Psalm 90:1-17            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Lord, You have been our dwelling place [for] all generations. Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. You had formed the earth & the world, before the mountains were brought [into existence.] You turn man to destruction & say, Return, you children of men. 

[Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of your face, you shall eat bread, [until] you return to the ground. For out of it, you [were] taken: for dust you are & unto dust you shall return.]

For 1,000 years in Your sight, are but [like] yesterday when it is past & [like] a watch in the night. [2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, [don't] be ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord, [like] 1,000 years & 1,000 years [like] one day.] 

You carry them away [like] with a flood. They are [like those] asleep. In the morning, they are like grass which grows up. In the morning [light,] it flourishes & grows up & in the evening it is cut down & withers. 

For we are consumed by Your anger & we are troubled by Your [fury.] You have [put] our secret sins & our iniquities before You, in the light of Your countenance. 

For all our days [have] passed away in Your [fury] & our years [are spent like] a tale that is told [has ended.] The [amount] of our years & days are 70. And if by reason of strength, they [are] 80 years, [still] their strength [labors in] sorrow; for it's soon cut off & we [disappear.] 

Who knows the power of Your anger? Even according to Your fear [respect,] so is Your [fury, also.] So, teach us to [count] our days, [so] that we apply our hearts to wisdom. 

[Psalm 39:4-5 Lord, make me [able] to know [my] end & the measure of my days, what it is; [so] that I may know how frail I am. [Look,] You have made my days [short] [like] a [hand's width] & [my] age is nothing before You. [Truly,] every man at his best state, is altogether vanity. Selah.] 

Return, O Lord, how long [will it be?] And let it [grieve You about] Your servants. O satisfy us early with Your mercy; [so] that we may rejoice & be glad all our days. Make us glad, according to the [amount of] days [in which] You afflicted us & the years [in which] we have seen evil. 

Let Your work appear to Your servants & Your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the Lord our God, be upon us & You establish the work of our hands upon us. [Yes,] [may] You establish the work of our hands.
