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 142:1-7 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

A Prayer when David was in a Cave: a Maschil, [a.k.a. Maskil.]

Psalm 142:1-7            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I cried [out] to the Lord with My voice & I [made] My [requests] to the Lord with My voice. I poured out My complaint before Him & I [declared] My [troubles] before Him. When My spirit was overwhelmed within Me, then You knew My path.

[Luke 22:40-44 And when He was at the place, He said to them, Pray [so] that you [don't] enter into temptation. And He was about a stone's [throw away] & kneeled down & prayed, saying, Father, if You [are] willing, remove this cup from Me. Nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done. 

And there appeared an Angel to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. And His sweat was [like] it were [large] drops of blood falling down to the ground.] 

They have [secretly] laid a snare for Me in the [road] I walk in. I looked on My right hand [side] & [saw,] there was no man [who] would [acknowledge] Me. No man cared for My soul & refuge failed Me.

[*Isaiah 53:2-5 For He shall grow up before Him, [like] a tender plant & [like] a root out of dry ground. He has no [pleasing] form, nor [attractiveness.] And when we shall see Him, there is no beauty, that we should desire Him. He is despised & rejected [by] men. A man of sorrows & acquainted with grief. 

And we hid, [like] it were our faces from Him. He was despised & we [didn't hold] Him [in high regard.] Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows. 

Yet, we [didn't respect] Him, [suffering, struck] & afflicted [by] God. But He was wounded for our [sins] & bruised for our iniquities. The [discipline] for our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes, we are healed.]

I cried [out] to You, O Lord. I said, You are My refuge & My portion in the land of the living. [Take care of] My [out] cry; for I am brought very low. Deliver me from My persecutors: for they are stronger than I. 

[*Mark 15:1-3 And [immediately] in the morning, the chief priests [consulted] with the elders, scribes & the whole counsel & bound Jesus & carried Him away & delivered Him to Pilate. And Pilate asked Him, Are You the King of the Jews? And He said, You say it. *And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.]

Bring My soul out of prison, [so] that I may praise Your Name. [Mark 15:17-20 And they clothed Him with purple & [wove] a crown of thorns & put it on His head & began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they [struck] Him on the head with a reed & they spit upon Him & bowing their knees, worshiped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & put His own clothes on Him & led Him out to crucify Him.]

The righteous shall [surround around] Me. For You shall deal bountifully with Me. [Revelation 3:20-22 [Watch,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man [hears] My voice & [opens] the door, I will come in to him & will [dine] with him & he with Me. 

To him, [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne. He [who has] an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.]
