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.

Song of Solomon 2:1-17 Going to the Banqueting Table, Compared to Jesus Christ in Heaven

 

Going to the Banqueting Table, Compared to Jesus Christ in Heaven

Song of Solomon 2:1-17             The Song of Solomon [in Smaller Chunks]

I am the Rose of Sharon & the Lily of the Valleys. My love among the daughters, is [like] the lilies among [the] thorns. My beloved among the sons, is [like] an apple tree among the trees of the [forest.] I sat under his shadow with great delight & his fruit was sweet to taste. 

He brought me to the Banqueting House & His banner over me was love. [Revelation 4:2-3 And immediately, I was in the Spirit & [saw] a throne was [sitting] in heaven & One sat on the throne. And He, [Who] sat was like a Jasper & a [Sardius] Stone, to look upon & there was a rainbow [around] the throne, [similar to seeing] an emerald.]

[Sustain] me with flagons [of wine] & comfort me with apples, for I am [lovesick.] His left hand is under my head & his right hand [embraces] me. O you daughters of Jerusalem, I [order] you that you [be as quiet as: gazelles & does] of the field & [don't] stir, nor awake my love, [until] he [pleases.] 

The voice of my beloved! [Look,] he comes leaping upon the mountains & skipping upon the hills. My beloved is like a [gazelle] or a young [stag.] [Look,] he stands behind our wall & he looks [out] at the windows, [showing] himself through the [garden] lattice.

My beloved [spoke] & said to me, Rise up, my love, my fair one & come away. For, [look,] the winter is past & the rain is over & gone. The flowers appear on the earth & the time of birds singing [has] come & the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. 

The fig tree [produces its] green figs & the vines with [its] tender [grapes] give a good [aroma.] Arise, my love, my fair one & come away. Let me see Your [face,] O my dove, [You] are in the [holes in] the [rocks] in a secret places of the [rocky steps.]

Let me hear Your voice, for Your voice is sweet & Your face is [pleasing.] 

[1 Kings 19:11-13 And He said, Go [out] & stand upon the [mountain] before the Lord & [saw,] the Lord passed by & a great, strong wind [tore] the mountains & [broke] the rocks [into] pieces before the Lord. But the Lord wasn't in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake; but the Lord wasn't in the earthquake. 

And after the earthquake, a fire; but the Lord wasn't in the fire. And after the fire, a still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his [cloak] & went out & stood in the [entrance] of the cave. And, behold a voice came to him there & said, What [are] you [doing] here, Elijah?]

[Catch] us, the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines. For our vines have tender grapes. My beloved is mine & I am his & he feeds [his flock] among the lilies. [Return,] my beloved until daybreak & the shadows flee away & you be like a [gazelle] or a young [stag] upon the Mountains of Bether.   

[John 15:1-5 I Am the True Vine & My Father is the [Keeper of the Vineyard.] He takes away every branch in Me that doesn’t bear fruit. And every branch that bears fruit, He [prunes] it, [so] that it may [produce] more fruit. Now, you are clean through the Word, [that] I have spoken to you. [Remain] in Me & I in you. [Like] the branch can’t [produce] fruit of itself, [unless] it [remains] in the vine. No more [than] you can, [unless] you [remain] in Me. I Am the vine & you are the branches. He, [who remains] in Me & I in him, the same [produces] much fruit. For without Me, you can do nothing.]
