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 123:1-4 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

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

Psalm 123:1-4            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O You, [Who] dwells in the heavens, I lift up [my] eyes to You. [Psalm 141:8-10 But [my] eyes are [only] to You, O God the Lord. My trust is in You. [Don’t] leave my soul destitute. Keep me from the snares [that] they have laid for me & the [traps] of [those who do sinful works.] Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape [safely.]

[See,] our eyes wait [for] the Lord our God, until He [has] mercy upon us, [like] the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters & [like] the eyes of a [maid,] to the hand of her mistress. [Psalm 25:15 [My] eyes are [always] toward the Lord; for He shall pluck my feet out of the net.] 

Have mercy upon us. O Lord, have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. Our soul is exceedingly filled with [those who are comfortable] & the proud [looking down on us.]
