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 139:1-24 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David to the Chief Musician. 

Psalm 139:1-24            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, You have searched me & known me. [Psalm 66:10 For You, O God, have [tested] us. You have [tested] us, [like] silver is [tested.] You know [when I sit down & when I rise up.] You understand my [thoughts from] afar. You are acquainted with all my ways & You [encircle] my path & my lying down.

For there isn't a word in my [mouth, that] You [don't already know,] O Lord. You have [hedged me in back & in front] & have laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me. It is [lofty] & I can't [hope to] attain it.

[Psalm 40:5 O Lord my God, many are Your wonderful works, [that] You have done & Your thoughts, which are [toward] us. They can't be [counted] up in order [to credit] You [for them.] If I would speak of them [or] declare them, they are more than can be [counted.]

[Where] shall I go from Your Spirit? Or [where] shall I flee from Your presence? If I [go up] to heaven, You are there. If I make my bed in hell, You are there. If I take the wings of the morning & [live] in the [furthest] parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me & Your right hand shall hold me.

If I say, Surely, the darkness shall [hide] me, even the night shall be light [around] me. [Yes,] the darkness [doesn't] hide from You. But the night shines [like] the day. The darkness & the light are both [the same] to You. 

For You have [formed my heart strings] & You have covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You; for I am fearfully & wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works & my soul knows that [very] well. 

My [existence] wasn't [hidden] from You, when I was [conceived] in [private] & was curiously [fashioned] in the [hidden] parts of the earth. Your eyes [saw] my [existence,] yet being [not fully formed, but] in Your book, all my [bodily] members were [already recorded,] [although] none of them [were fully formed,] yet, which were fashioned [over time.] 

Also, O God, how precious Your thoughts are to me! How great is the [total amount] of them! If I [could] count them, they are more in number than the sand.

When I awake, I am still with You. O God, surely You will [put to death] the wicked. Therefore, you [blood thirsty] men, depart from me. For they speak wickedly against You & Your enemies take Your Name in vain. 

Don't I hate [those who] hate You, O Lord? [Aren't] I grieved with those [who] rise up against You? I hate them with [an intense] hatred & I [consider] them [my] enemies.

O God, search me & know my heart. [Test] me & know my thoughts & see if there [is any wickedness within] me & lead me in the everlasting [pathway.]
