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 129:1-8 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

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

Psalm 129:1-8            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

They have afflicted me from my youth, many [times.] May Israel now say: Many a time, they have afflicted me from my youth: yet they haven't prevailed against me. [2 Corinthians 7:4-5 Great is my boldness [I speak] toward You.

I am filled with comfort & I'm exceedingly joyful, [despite] all our tribulation. For when we [came] into Macedonia, our [bodies] had no rest, but we were troubled on every side. [Outside was fighting & inside] were fears.] 

[Those who plow] plowed upon my back. They made their furrows long. The Lord is righteous & can cut [to pieces] the [whip] cords of the wicked. [Isaiah 51:22-23 The Lord says [this,] The Lord your God, [Who] pleads the [case] of His people, [Look,] I have taken your hand out of the cup of trembling, even the [scum] of the cup of My fury & you shall no [longer] drink it again. 

But I will put [the cup of My fury] into the hand of [those who] afflict you, [who] have said to your soul, Bow down, [so] that we may go over [you.] And you have laid your body [like it's] the ground & [like] the street, to [those who] went over.] 

Let all [those who] hate Zion be [confused] & turned back. Let them be [like] the grass upon the housetops, [that] withers [before] it grows up: [by which] the mower [doesn't] fill [up] his hand; nor [does] he [who] binds [fill up his arms with harvested] sheaves. 

Neither do [those who] go by say, [May] the [blessings] of the Lord be upon you. We bless you in the Name of the Lord.
