About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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 114:1-8 Book# 5 of Psalms

Psalm 114:1-8            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

When Israel, [a.k.a.] the house of Jacob, went out of Egypt, from a people of strange language. [Exodus 13:3-6 And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, [a.k.a. Slavery.] For the strength of the [Lord's] hand brought you out from this place. There shall be eaten no leavened bread, [a.k.a. no bread with yeast. You came out this day in the month: Abib. And it shall [happen,] when the Lord shall bring you into the land of the: Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, & Jebusites, which He [swore] to your [forefathers] to give to you, a land flowing with milk & honey, [so] that you [shall] keep this service in this month. Seven days you [shall] eat unleavened bread, & [on] the seventh day, shall be a feast to the Lord.] 

Judah was His sanctuary, & Israel, His dominion, [a.k.a. kingdom.] [Genesis 46:1-4 And Israel, [a.k.a. Jacob,] took his journey with all that he had, & came to Beer Sheba, & offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac. And God [spoke] to Israel in the night visions, & said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here I am. And [the Lord God] said, I Am God, the God of your father. [Don't] [be] [afraid] to go down into Egypt. For I will make [from] you a great nation there. I will go down with you into Egypt. And I will also surely bring you up again. And [at the time you die,] Joseph shall put his hand upon your eyes.

The sea saw it, & fled, & [the] Jordan was driven back. [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, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, & on their left.]

The mountains skipped like rams & the little hills like lambs. [Judges 5:4-5 Lord, when You [went] out of Seir, when You [marched] out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, & the heavens, & the clouds also dropped water. The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that [Mount] Sinai, from [in front of] the Lord God of Israel.]

What ailed you, O you sea, that you [fled?] You Jordan [River,] that you [were] driven back? [Exodus 14:26-31 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand over the [Red] Sea, [so] that the waters may [return] again upon: the Egyptians, their chariots, & their horsemen. And Moses stretched [out] his hand over the sea, & when morning appeared, the sea returned to [its] strength. And the Egyptians fled against it; & the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the [middle] of the sea. And the waters returned, & covered the: chariots, horsemen, & all of [Pharaoh's army, who] came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained there. But the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, walked upon dry land in the [middle] of the sea. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand [side,] & on their left. [Like this,] the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, & Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore. And Israel saw that great work, [a.k.a. miracles,] which the Lord did upon the Egyptians. And the people feared, [a.k.a. respected,] the Lord, & believed the Lord, & His servant, Moses.]

You mountains, that you skipped like rams, & you little hills, [skipped] like lambs? You earth, tremble, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] [Exodus 19:17-19 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God. And they stood at the [lowest] part of the [mountain.] And Mount Sinai was [totally smoking,] because the Lord [came down] upon it in fire. An [its] smoke [went up like] the smoke of a furnace, & the whole [mountain] quaked greatly. And when the [sound] of the trumpet sounded long, & grew louder & louder, Moses [spoke,] & God answered him [with] a voice.]

[Who] [also] turned the rock into a standing water, & the flint into a fountain of waters. 

[Exodus 17:5-6 And the Lord said to Moses, Go on [in front of] the people, & take with you [some] of the elders of Israel; & take in your hand, your rod, [with which] you [struck] the river, & go. [Watch,] I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb, [a.k.a. Sinai,] & you [shall strike] the rock, & water shall come out of it there, [so] that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.]
