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 147:1-20 Book# 5 of Psalms

Psalm 147:1-20            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Praise you the Lord: for it is good to sing praises to our God. For it is pleasant & praise is [beautiful.] The Lord [rebuilds] Jerusalem. He gathers together the outcasts of Israel. He heals the broken [hearted] & [bandages] up their wounds. He tells the number of the stars & He calls them all by their names.

[Amos 5:8 Seek Him, [Who] makes the 7 stars & Orion & turns the shadow of death into morning & makes the day dark, with night. [Who] calls the waters of the sea & pours them out upon the [surface] of the earth. The Lord is His Name.]

Great & of great power is our Lord. His understanding is infinite. The Lord lifts up the [humble] & He casts down the wicked to the ground. Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving. Sing praise upon the harp to our God, Who covers the heaven with clouds. Who prepared rain for the earth.

Who makes grass to grow upon the mountains. He gives to the [animals] his food & to the young ravens, which cry. He [doesn't] delight in the strength of the horse. He [doesn't] take pleasure in the legs of a man. The Lord takes pleasure in [those who] fear [respect] Him & in [who] hope in His mercy. 

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem. Praise your God, O Zion. For He has strengthened the bars of your gates & He has blessed [your future] children within you. He makes peace in your borders & fills you with the finest wheat. He sends [out] His [commandments] upon the earth. 

His Word [is spread speedily like someone] runs very quickly. He gives snow, like wool. He scatters the [ground frost] like ashes. He casts [out] His ice, like morsels [of food.] Who can stand before His cold? He sends out His Word & melts them. He causes His wind to blow & the waters to flow. 

He [declares] His Word to Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel] & His [mandates] & His judgments to Israel. He has not dealt [like this] with any nation. And as for His judgments, they haven't known them. Praise you the Lord.
