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.

Isaiah 13:1-22 Vision of Babylon's, Yet to Come that Isaiah Saw

 

Vision of Babylon, Yet to Come that Isaiah Saw

Isaiah 13:1-22                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The burden, [a.k.a. vision] of Babylon, [that] Isaiah, [Amoz'] son, [saw.] Lift up a banner for [yourselves] upon the high mountain, exalt the voice to them & shake [hands, so] that they may go into the gates of the nobles. 

I have commanded My sanctified ones & I have also called My mighty ones for [My] anger, even [those who] rejoice in My [excellence.] The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a [large amount of] people: a tumultuous noise of kingdoms of nations gathered together. 

The Lord of Hosts musters the [army to] battle. They come from a far country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord & the weapons of His indignation, to destroy the whole land.

[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image & receives his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation & he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels & in the presence of the Lamb.]

Howl, you: for the day of the Lord is at hand & it shall come [like] a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore, all hands shall be [feeble] & every man's heart shall melt. And they shall be afraid. [Pains] & sorrows shall take hold of them. They shall be [like] the pain [of] a woman [in childbirth.] 

They shall be amazed at one another & their faces shall be [red, like] flames. [Watch,] the day of the Lord comes, cruel with both wrath & fierce anger, to [leave] the land desolate [& empty] & He shall destroy [its] sinners out of it. 

For the stars & constellations of heaven shall not give their light. The sun shall be darkened in [its rising] & the moon shall not cause [its] light to shine [at night.] And I will punish the world for their evil & the wicked for their [sin.] 

And I will cause the [arrogance] of the proud to [stop] & will lay low the [conceit] of the [horrendous ones.] [Isaiah 2:17-19 And the [pride] of man shall be bowed down & the [arrogance] of men shall be made low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted [on] that day. 

And He shall [totally] abolish the idols. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks & into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord & for the glory of His majesty, when He arises to terribly shake the earth.]

I will make man more [rare] than fine gold; even a man [more rare] than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore, [on] the day of the wrath of the Lord of Hosts & of His fierce anger, I will shake the heavens & I will remove the earth out of [its] place. 

[Revelation 6:12-14 And I [saw] when he had opened the 6th seal & lo, there was a great earthquake & the sun became black [like] sackcloth [made from goat] hair & the moon became [like] blood. 

And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree casts [its] figs [before its time,] when [its] shaken [by] a mighty wind. And the heaven departed [like] a scroll when it's rolled together. And every mountain & island were [removed] out of their places.] 

And it shall be like the [gazelle] chased & [like lost] sheep & no man [leads] them. [John 10:11-14 I Am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But he who is a [hired hand] & [isn't] the shepherd & the sheep aren't [his] own & sees the wolf coming & leaves the sheep & flees. 

And the wolf catches them & scatters the sheep. The [hired hand] flees, because he is a [hired hand] & [doesn't] care [about] the sheep. I Am the Good Shepherd & know My Sheep & Am known of Mine.] 

Every man shall turn to his own people & flee into his own land. Everyone, [who] is found, shall be thrust through & everyone, [who joins] them, shall fall by the sword. Also, their children shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes & their houses shall be [plundered] & their wives ravished. 

[Psalm 137:7-9  O Lord, remember the children [people] of Edom, who said, [Tear it down, tear it down, even to [its] foundation on [that] day [in] Jerusalem. O daughter of Babylon, who [is] to be destroyed, happy shall he be, [who repays you, like you have done to] us. Happy shall he be, [who] takes & dashes your little ones against the [rocks.] 

[Watch,] I will stir up the Medes against them, [who] shall not [care for, nor] delight in silver [or] for gold. Their bows shall also dash the young men to pieces & they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eye shall not spare children. 

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' [excellence] shall be [like] when God overthrew Sodom & Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited & shall it be [lived] in from generation to generation. Neither shall the Arabians pitch [tents] there. 

Neither shall the shepherds make their [flock lie] there. But the [wild animals] of the desert shall lie there & their houses shall be full of [dismal] creatures & owls shall dwell there & satyrs, [a.k.a. wild goats,] shall dance there. And the wild [hyenas] of the island shall cry [out] in their [deserted] houses & jackals in their pleasant palaces. 

[Its] days shall not be prolonged & [its] time is [soon] to come. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack [related to] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat. And also the earth & the works [done in it] shall be burned up.]
