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 120:1-7 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

A Song of Degrees, [a.k.a. Steps.]

Psalm 120:1-7            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I cried [out] to the Lord, in my distress & He heard me. O Lord, deliver my soul from lying lips & from a deceitful tongue. [Matthew 26:3-4 Then the chief priests, scribes & the elders of the people assembled together to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas & consulted, [so] that they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.] 

What shall be given to you? Or what shall be done to you, you [with a] false tongue? [Matthew 26:14-16 Then, 1 of the 12, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests & said to them, What will you give me & I will deliver Him to you? And they [contracted] with him for 30 pieces of silver. And from that time, he sought opportunity to betray Him.]

[A tongue like:] sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. Woe is me, that I [lodge] in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar! [Psalm 59:5 Therefore You, O Lord God of Hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen & [don't] be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.]

My soul has long dwelt with him, [who] hates peace. I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
