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 132:1-18 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

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

Psalm 132:1-18            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Lord, remember David & all his afflictions & how he [swore] to the mighty Lord God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] Surely, I won't come into the [tent] of my house, nor go up into my bed. I won't [allow my] eyes to sleep, or slumber [for] my eyelids, until I find a place for the [house] of the Lord, the mighty God of Jacob.

[Look,] we heard of it at Ephratah & we found it in the fields of the [woods.] 

[1 Chronicles 22:7-10 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house [for] the Name of the Lord my God. 

But the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, You have abundantly shed blood & have made [large] wars. You shall not build a house [for] My Name, because you have shed much blood upon the earth in My sight. 

[Watch,] a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest & I will give him rest from all his enemies [around him.] For his name shall be Solomon & I will give peace & quietness to Israel in his days. 

* He shall build a house for My Name & he shall be my son & I will be his Father. And I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.]

We will go into His Tabernacles & we will worship at His footstool. [Exodus 25:22-23 And you shall put the mercy seat above upon the Ark & in the Ark, you shall put the Testimony that I shall give you. 

And I will meet with you there & I will [talk] with you from above the mercy seat & from between the 2 cherubims which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, [about] all the things, which I will give you in commandment to the children [people] of Israel.]

Arise, O Lord, into Your [place of] rest, You & the Ark of Your strength. Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness & let Your saints shout for joy. [Don't] turn away the face of Your anointed, for Your servant, David's, sake. 

The Lord has sworn in Truth to David & He won't turn from it. I will [put] upon your throne, [from] the fruit of your body. If your children will keep My covenant [contract] & My Testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon your throne forever more. 

For the Lord has chosen Zion & He has desired it for His [dwelling place.] This is My [resting place] forever. I will dwell here; for I have desired it. [Matthew 23:21 And [whoever] shall swear by the temple, swears by it & by Him, [Who] dwells [in there.]

I will abundantly bless her [supply] of food. I will satisfy her poor with bread. I will also clothe her priests with Salvation & her saints shall shout aloud for joy. I will make the horn of David bud there. I have ordained a lamp for [My] anointed. I will clothe His enemies with shame: but His crown shall flourish upon [Him.] 

[Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring of David & the Bright & Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him [who hears] say, Come. And let him [who is thirsty,] come. And [whoever is willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.]
