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 140:1-13 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

A Psalm o f David to the Chief Musician. 

Psalm 140:1-13            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, deliver me from the evil man & [safeguard] me from the violent man & [those who] imagine [wickedness] in their heart. They are continually gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a [snake.] [Cobra's] poison is under their lips. Selah.

O Lord, keep me from the hands of the wicked & [safeguard] me from the violent man. [Those] who have [planned] to overthrow my goings. [Psalm 17:5 Hold up my goings in Your paths, [so] that my footsteps [don't] slip.]

The proud have [hidden] a snare for me & [ropes.] They have spread a net by the [roadside.] They [set traps] for me. Selah. I said to the Lord, You are my God. Hear the [sound] of my [prayers,] O Lord. 

O God, the Lord, the strength of my Salvation, You have covered my head [during] the day of battle. O Lord, [don't] grant the desires of the wicked & [don't allow] his wicked [schemes to progress,] lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 

As for the [leader] of those [who surround] me, let the mischief of their own lips, [fall on them to] cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them & let them be cast into the fire & into deep pits, [so] that they [don't] rise up again. 

[Don't] let [someone who speaks] evil be established [on] the earth. Evil shall hunt & overthrow the violent man. I know that the Lord will maintain the [case] of the afflicted & the [rights] of the poor.

[Revelation 7:15-18 Therefore, they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who] sits on the throne shall dwell amongst them. *They shall no [longer] hunger & neither thirst any more. Neither shall the [sunlight,] nor any heat [scorch] them. 

*For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne shall feed them & shall lead them to the Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

Surely, the righteous shall give thanks to Your Name & the upright shall dwell in Your presence.
