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 21:1-17 The Vision About the Desert by the Sea, Dumah & Arabia

 

The Vision About the Desert by the Sea, Dumah & Arabia

Isaiah 21:1-17                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The burden, [a.k.a. vision] of the desert [by] the sea. [Like] whirlwinds in the south pass through; it [also] comes from the desert, from a terrible land. [Zechariah 9:14 And the Lord shall be seen over them & His arrow shall go [out] like lightning [bolts] & the Lord God shall blow the trumpet & shall go with the whirlwinds of the south.] 

A [dreadful] vision is declared to me. The [untrustworthy merchant] deals [deceitfully] & the spoiler [plunders.] Go up, O Elam & [surround,] O Media. I have made all the sighing there to cease. [Isaiah 14:4-7 You shall take up this proverb against the king of Babylon & say, How has the oppressor ceased! 

The golden city ceased! The Lord has broken the staff of the wicked & the scepter of the rulers. He, who [struck] the people in [rage,] with continual [blows,] he, [who] ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted & none [interfere.] The whole earth is at rest & is quiet, They break [out] into singing.] 

Therefore, my [stomach is] filled with pain. [Pains] have taken hold of me, [like] the [pains] of a woman, [in labor.] I was bowed [over] at hearing it. I was [disturbed] at seeing it. My heart [pounded] & [fear frightened] me. The night of my [longing,] He has turned into fear [for] me. 

Prepare the table & watch in the watchtower, eat, drink & arise, you princes & anoint the shield. For the Lord has said [this] to me, Go, [put] a [guard] & let him declare what he sees. And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen & a chariot [with donkeys] & a chariot [with] camels. 

And he [carefully paid attention.] And he cried [out,] A lion: My lord, I continually stand on the watchtower in the daytime & I am [put] in my [division all] nights. And, [look,] here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen.

And he answered & said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen. [God] has broken to the ground, all the [carved] images of [Babylon's] gods. [Revelation 14:8-10 And there followed another Angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her [unfaithfulness,] [a.k.a. adultery, or fornication.] 

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 [fury] 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.]

O my threshing & the [grain] of my floor. I have declared [what] I heard [from] the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel. [Jeremiah 51:33 For the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this;] The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor. It is time to thresh her. [Still] a little while & her harvest time will come.] 

The [vision] of Dumah. He called to me out of Seir, [Guard,] what [about] the night? [Guard,] what [about] the night? The [guard] said, The morning comes & also the night. If you will [iniquire,] [you go inquire,] return & come. 

The [vision] upon Arabia. You shall lodge in the forest in Arabia, O you traveling companies of Dedanim. The [residents] of the land of Tema, brought water to him, [who] was thirsty & they [presented] him, [who had] fled, with their bread. 

For they fled from the swords & from the drawn [swords] & from the bent [bows] & the [suffering] of war. For the Lord has said [this] to me, Within a year, according to the years of a [hired worker,] all the glory of Kedar, shall fail. 

And the [remaining] number of archers, the mighty men of the children [people] of Kedar, shall be [decreased:] for the Lord God of Israel has spoken it.
