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 113:1-9 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

Psalm 113:1-9            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Praise you the Name of the Lord, O you servants of the Lord. Praise you the Lord. Blessed [is] the Name of the Lord, from this time [forward] & forever more. From [sunrise to sunset,] the Name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is high above all nations & His glory [is] above the heavens. 

[Psalm 8:1-5 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth! Who has [put] Your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes & [the nursing,] You have ordained strength, because of Your enemies, [so] You might [calm] the enemy & the avenger. 

When I [think of] Your heavens & the work of Your fingers, the moon & the stars, [that] You [established;] What is man, that You are mindful of him? And the son of man, that You visited him? For You [have] made him a little lower than the Angels & have crowned Him with glory & honor.] 

Who is [similar] to the Lord our God, Who dwells on high & Who humbles Himself to [see] the things that are in heaven & in the earth! He raises up the poor out of the [dirt] & lifts the needy out of the [garbage heap, so] He may [put] him with princes, even the princes of His people. 

[1 Samuel 2:7-8 The Lord makes [the] poor & rich. He brings low & He lifts up. He raises up the poor out of the [dirt] & lifts up the beggar from the [garbage heap,] to [put] them among princes & to make them inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's & He has [put] the world upon them.]

He makes the [childless] woman to keep house & to be a joyful mother of children. Praise you the Lord. [1 Samuel 1:20-22 [For this reason] it [happened,] when the time [had] come, after Hannah had conceived, that she [bore] a son & called his name, Samuel, saying, Because I have asked [for] him [from] the Lord. 

And the [father,] Elkanah & all his [household,] went up to offer to the Lord the yearly sacrifice & his vow. But Hannah [didn't] go up; for she said to her husband, I won't go up until the child [is] weaned & then I will bring him, [so] that he may appear before the Lord & [stay] there forever.]
