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.

Ecclesiastes 11:1-10 Ponder Your Actions

 

Ponder Your Actions

Ecclesiastes 11:1-10            The Book of Ecclesiastes [in Smaller Chunks]

[Throw] your bread upon the waters: for you shall find it after many days. [Matthew 6:30-33 [For this reason,] if God so [clothes] the grass of the field, which today is & [tomorrow] is [thrown] into the oven, [won't] He much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 

Therefore, take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or, What shall we drink? Or, [with what] shall we be clothed? (For after all these things, do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things.]

Give a portion [of what's needed] to 7 & also to 8. For you [don't] know what evil shall be upon the earth. [Psalm 112:9-10 [A good man] has [distributed] & he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn shall be exalted with honor. The wicked shall see it & be grieved. He shall [grit] his teeth & melt away [like ice.] The desire of the wicked shall perish.] 

If the clouds [are] full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth. If the tree [falls] toward the south, or the north, it shall be there, in the place where the tree [fell.] [Ecclesiastes 9:2-5 All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous & to the wicked, to the good & to the clean & to the unclean. 

To him, [who] sacrifices & to him, [who doesn't] sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner. And he, [who] swears [an oath,] [like] he, [who] is [fearful of swearing] an oath. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event to all.

[Yes,] also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil & [insanity] is in their heart while they live & after that, they go to the dead. For him, [who] is [among] the living, there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. For the living know that they shall die. But the dead [don't] know anything. Neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.]

He, [who] observes the wind, shall not sow [seed] & he, [who pays attention to] the clouds, shall not [harvest.] As you [don't] know what the way of the [wind] [is,]  nor how the bones grow in the womb of [the expectant mother:] even so, you [don't] know the works of God, Who makes all. 

[John 3:8 The wind blows where it [wishes] & you hear the sound [of it,] but can't tell [where] it comes [from] & [where] it goes. So is everyone, [who] is born of the Spirit.] 

Sow your seed in the morning & [don't] withhold your hand in the evening: for you [don't] know [which] shall prosper, either this [one] or that [one,] or whether they both shall both be good. Truly, the light is sweet & it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to [see] the sun. 

But if a man [lives] many years & [rejoices] in them all, [still] let him remember the days of darkness. For they shall be many. All that [happens] is vanity.         [1 Colossians 1:13-16 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness & has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: in Whom, we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. 

[Christ,] Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature For by Him, all things were created, that are in the heaven & are [on] earth, visible & invisible, whether they [are] thrones, dominions, principalities, or powers. All things were created by Him & for Him.] 

O young man, rejoice in your youth & let your heart cheer you [during] the days of your youth & [follow] in the ways of your eyesight & your heart. But know that for all these things, God will bring you into judgment. 

[1 John 2:15-16 [Don't] love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man [loves] the world, the love of the Father isn't in him. For all that is in the world, the [desires] of the flesh, the lust of the eyes & the pride of life isn't of the Father, but is of the world.]

Therefore, remove sorrow from your heart & put away evil from your flesh. For childhood & youth are vanity. [2 Timothy 2:22 Also flee [from] youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity & peace, with [those who] call on the Lord [with] a pure heart.]
