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 2:1-22 Isaiah's Word on God's Behalf to Judah & Jerusalem

 

Isaiah's Word on God's Behalf to Judah & Jerusalem

Isaiah 2:1-22                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The word [about] Judah & Jerusalem, that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saw. *And it shall [happen,] in the last days, that the mountains of the Lord's house shall be established [on] the top of the mountains & shall be exalted above the hills. And all nations shall [stream] to it.

*And many people shall go & say, Come & let's go up to the [Lord's] mountain, to the house of the God, of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] And He will teach us His ways & we will [follow] in His paths. For the Law shall go [forward out] of Zion & the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 

And He shall judge among the nations & shall [warn] many people & they shall beat their swords into [blades for plows] & their spears into [pruning saws with a curved blade.] Nation shall not lift up [swords] against nation. Neither shall they learn [how to] war anymore.

O house of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] come & let's [follow] in the LIght of the Lord. Therefore, You have [abandoned] Your people, the house of Jacob, because they [are] replenished from the East & are [diviners] like the Philistines. [Deuteronomy 18:14 For these nations, [that] you shall possess, [pay attention] to observers of times & diviners. But as for you, the Lord your God, hasn't [allowed] you to do so.] 

And they please themselves in the children of strangers. [Judges 3:5-6 And the children [people] of Israel [lived] among the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites & Jebusites. And they took their daughters to be their wives & gave their daughters to their sons & served their gods.] 

Their land is also full of silver & gold. Neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land is also full of horses & neither is there any end of their chariots. Their land is also full of idols. They worship the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made. 

And the man [with low status] bows down & the man [with high status] humbles himself. [Exodus 20:5 You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a Jealous God, visiting the [sins] of the fathers upon the children [until] the 3rd & 4th generation of [those who] hate Me.] 

Therefore, [don't] forgive them. [Go] into the rock & hide [yourself in the dirt,] for fear of the Lord & for the glory of His Majesty. [Revelation 6:15-16 And the kings, the great men,  the rich men, the [important leaders] & the mighty men, of the earth & every man [in bondage] & every free man, hid themselves in the dens & in the rocks of the mountains.] 

The [arrogant] looks of man, shall be humbled & the [egotism] of men shall be bowed down. And the Lord, alone, shall be exalted [on] that day. [Philippians 2:9-10 [For this reason,] God has also highly exalted Him & given Him a Name which is above every name: at the Name of Jesus, that every knee should bow, of things in heaven & things on earth & under the earth.]

For the day of the Lord of Hosts, shall be upon everyone, [who] is proud & [conceited] & upon everyone, [who] is lifted up & he shall be brought low. And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high & lifted up & upon all the oaks of Bashan. 

And upon all the high mountains & all the hills that are lifted up & upon every high tower & upon every fenced wall & upon all the ships of Tarshish & upon all pleasant pictures. 

[Ezekiel 31:10-12 Therefore, the Lord God says [this;] Because you have lifted yourself up in height & his top has shot up among the thick boughs & his heart is lifted up in [its] his height; therefore, I have delivered him into the hand of the [heathen's] mighty one. He shall surely deal with him. I have driven him out, [because of] his wickedness.] 

The terrible of the nations & strangers have cut him off & have left him upon the mountains. And in all the valleys, his branches [have] fallen & his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land. And all the people of the earth [have come] down from his shadow & have left him.]

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 put an end to] 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 shake the earth terribly. 

[Revelation 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven & there was seen in His temple the Ark of His [Covenant] & there [was lightning] & voices & [thundering] & an earthquake & great hail.] 

[On] that day, a man shall [throw away] his idols of silver & his idols of gold, to the moles & bats, which they made each one for himself to worship. [And shall] go into the clefts of the rocks & into the tops of the [jagged] rocks, for fear of the Lord & for the glory of His Majesty, when He arises to terribly shake the earth. 

[Stop yourselves] from [trusting in] man, whose breath is in his nostrils: [in what] is he to be [considered?] [Psalm 146:3-4 [Don't] put your trust in princes, nor in [a human,] the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goes [out] & he returns to his [ground; on] that very day, his thoughts perish.]
