About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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.

Proverbs 9:1-18 Go into the Lord God's House of Wisdom or into the Foolish Woman's House

Go into the Lord God's House of Wisdom or into the Foolish Woman's House

Proverbs 9:1-18                                    Proverbs [in Smaller Chunks]

Wisdom [has built its] house, & [its] 7 pillars [have been cut] out. [Ephesians 2:20-22 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles, & prophets. Jesus Christ, Himself, being the chief corner stone, in Whom all the building [is] [tightly] framed together, & [grows into the] Holy Temple of the Lord. In Whom you are also [built] together for [a] habitation, [a.k.a. place to reside, for] God, through the [Holy] Spirit.]

She, [a.k.a. wisdom, has slaughtered] [its sacrificial] [animals,] & she [has mixed] her wine, & her table [has been set.] [Exodus 29:39-40 You [shall] offer the 1 lamb in the morning, & you [shall] offer the other lamb in the [evening.] And with the lamb, 1/10 [measure] of flour [mixed] with 1/4 part of a hin of beaten oil, & for a drink offering: 1/4 part of a hin of wine.]

She, [a.k.a. wisdom, has] sent [out] her maidens, & she [cries] out upon the highest places of the city, [Whoever] is simple [minded,] let him turn in [here.] As for [those who lack] understanding, she [says] to him, Come, eat of my bread, & drink of the wine [that] I have [mixed.] 

[1 Corinthians 11:23-26 For I have received from the Lord [what] I also delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread, & when He had given thanks, He [broke] it, & said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me. After the same manner, He also took the cup, & when he had [eaten, said,] This cup is the New Testament in My blood. Do this, as [often] as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as you eat this bread, & drink this cup, you do [proclaim] the Lord's death [until] He [comes.]

[Abandon the foolishness,] & live; & go in the [paths] of understanding. He [who chastises] a scorner, [a.k.a. someone who looks down on others, brings] shame to himself. And he [who scolds] a wicked man [causes harm to] himself.

[Don't chastise] a scorner, lest he [hates] you. [Criticise] a wise man, & he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, & he will [become even] wiser. Teach a just man, & he will increase [his] learning. [Matthew 13:12 For [whoever has [understanding, it] shall be given to him, & he shall have more abundance, [of understanding.] But [whoever doesn't have] [understanding,] even [what] he [has,] shall be taken away.] 

The fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, & understanding is the knowledge of the Holy. [Proverbs 1:7 The fear, [a.k.a. respect,] of the Lord, is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom, & instruction.]

For your days shall be multiplied by Me, & the years of your life shall be increased. [Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him [who dies,  says] the Lord God. [For this reason, return] yourselves, & live.]

If you [are] wise, you [shall] be wise for yourself: but if you [scorn, a.k.a. to look down on others in contempt,] you shall bear [the responsibility for] it alone. 

A foolish woman is [extremely loud.] She is simple [minded,] & [knows] nothing. For she [sits] on a seat at the door of her house, in the high places of the city, to call [those who pass,] who go right [by] on their [way.] Let [whoever] is simple [minded,] turn in [here.]

As for [those who lack] understanding, she [says] to him, Stolen waters are sweet, & bread eaten in secret is pleasant. But he [doesn't know] that the dead are there, & that her guests are in the depths of hell.
