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 121:1-8 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

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

Psalm 121:1-8            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I will lift up [my] eyes to the hills, from [which] comes my help. [Jeremiah 3:23 Truly Salvation is hoped for from the hills & from a multitude of mountains. Truly the Salvation of Israel is in the Lord our God.]

My help comes from the Lord, [Who] made heaven & earth. [Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth. And the earth was without form & void & darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters. And God said, Let there be light & there was light.]

He won't [allow] your foot to be moved. [So,] He, [Who] keeps you, won't [sleep.] [Watch,] He, [Who] keeps Israel shall neither slumber, nor sleep. The Lord is your Keeper. The Lord is your shade upon your right hand.] 

[Isaiah 25:3-4 Therefore, the strong people shall glorify You & the city of the [ruthless] nations shall fear [respect] You. For You have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the [ruthless] ones is [like] a storm against the wall.]

The sun shall not [strike] you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall [safeguard] you from all evil. He shall preserve your soul. [Revelation 7:16-17 They shall no [longer] hunger, neither thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [burn] them. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them & shall lead them into Living Fountains of waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

The Lord shall preserve your going out & your coming in from this time [forward] & even forevermore.
