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 115:1-18 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

Psalm 115:1-18            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Not unto us, O Lord. But give glory unto to Your Name, for Your mercy & Your truth's sake & not unto us. [Why] should the heathen say, Where is their God now? 

[Psalm 42:9-10 I will say to God, my Rock, Why [have] You forgotten me? Why [do] I go on mourning, because of the oppression of the enemy? My enemies [mock] me [piercing, like] with a sword, while they say daily to me, Where is your God?]

But our God is in the heavens. He has done [whatever] He [desires.] 

[1 Chronicles 16:24-26 Declare His glory among the heathen & His marvelous works among all nations. For the Lord is great & to be praised [abundantly.] He also is to be feared [respected] above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols. But the Lord made the heavens.] 

Their idols are silver & gold. The work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. They have noses, but they [don't] smell. They have hands, but they [don't touch.] They have feet, but they [don't] walk.  Neither do they speak through their throat. 

[Those who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone who trusts in them. O Israel, you, trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield. O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield. You, [who] fear [respect] the Lord, trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield. 

The Lord has been mindful of us & He will bless us. He will bless the house of Israel & He will bless the house of Aaron. He will bless [those who] fear [respect] the Lord, both [the powerless & the powerful.] The Lord shall increase you & your children more & more. 

[Genesis 35:11-12 God said to [Jacob, a.k.a. Israel,] I am God Almighty. Be fruitful & multiply. A nation & a company of nations shall [come from] you & kings shall come [from your body.] The land which I gave Abraham & Isaac, I will give it to you & I will give the land to your [descendants] after you.]

You are blessed of the Lord, [Who] made heaven & earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's; but He has given the earth to the children of men. The dead [don't] praise the Lord & neither [do] any [who] go down into silence. 

[Isaiah 38:18 For the grave can't praise You & death can't celebrate You & [those who] go down into the pit, can't hope for Your Truth.] But we will bless the Lord from this time [forward] & forever more. Praise the Lord.
