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 24:1-23 The City of Confusion is Broken Down

 

The City of Confusion is Broken Down

Isaiah 24:1-23                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[Watch,] the Lord makes the earth empty & waste [lands] & turns it [topsy-turvy, a.k.a. upside down,] & scatters [its] inhabitants abroad. 

It shall be, [like it is] with people & [also] with the: priest, [like] with the servants, [also] with his master, [like] with the maid, [also] with her mistress, [like] with the [customer, also] with the [merchant, like] with the lender, [also] with the borrower, [like] with the taker [who charges high rates of interest] & [also] with the giver [who pays the high rates of interest] to him. 

[Ezekiel 6:6-8 In all your dwelling places, the cities shall be laid [to] waste & made desolate. And your idols [shall] be broken & [ended] & your images [shall] be cut down & your works [shall] be abolished. 

And the [dead] shall fall in the midst of you & you shall know that I Am the Lord. Yet, I will leave a remnant, [so] that you may have some, [who] shall escape the sword, among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.] 

The land shall be [totally] emptied & [plundered.] For the Lord has spoken this Word. The earth mourns & [slowly disappears.] The world languishes & fades away. The [arrogant] people of the earth do [become feeble.] 

[Isaiah 25:11 And [the Lord] shall spread [out] His hands in the midst of them, [like someone who] swims spreads [out] his hands to swim. And He shall [reduce] their pride [along] with the plunder] of their hands.] 

The earth is also defiled under [its] inhabitants; because they have [sinned against] the Laws & changed the ordinance & [have] broken the everlasting covenant [contract.] [Daniel 7:24-26 And the 10 horns out of this kingdom are 10 kings that shall [emerge.] And another shall [emerge] after them & he shall be [different] from the 1st & he shall [defeat] 3 kings. 

And he shall speak [arrogant] words against the Most High & shall wear out the saints of the Most High & think to change the times & Laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time + times + the dividing of time [in ½.] But the judgment shall sit & they shall take away his dominion, to consume & to destroy it [until] the end.] 

Therefore, the curse devoured the earth & [those who] dwell [in there] are desolate. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned & few men [are] left. The new wine mourns, the vine [withers] & all the merry-hearted do sigh. 

[Jeremiah 44:8 In that you provoke Me to [anger] with the works of your hands, burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, [where you have] gone to dwell, [so] that you may cut yourselves off & that you might be a curse & a [disgrace] among all nations of the earth?] 

The [joyfulness of tambourines stops] & the [sound] of [those who] rejoice ends. The joy of the harp ceases. They shall not drink wine with a song & strong drink shall be bitter to [those who] drink it. The city of confusion is [run] down & every house is [closed off, so] that no man may come in [it.] 

There is [out cry] for wine in the streets. All joy is darkened & the [happiness] of the land is gone. In the city, desolation is left & the [gates are struck] with destruction. 

When it shall be [like this] in the midst of the land among the people, [it] shall be [like] the shaking of an olive tree & [like] the gleaning of grapes, when the vintage is done. They shall lift up their [voices] & they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord & they shall cry [out loudly] from the sea. 

[For this reason,] you glorify the Lord in the [dawning light,] even the Name of the Lord God of Israel in the [coastal islands] of the sea. From the [most distant] part of the earth, we have heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My [thinness, my thinness,] Woe unto me! 

The treacherous [merchants] have dealt treacherously. [Yes,] the [deceitful merchants] have [behaved untrustworthy.] Fear, the pit, [a.k.a. grave] & the [trap,] are upon you, O [inhabitants] of the earth.

[Jeremiah 48:35-36 [Additionally,] I will cause Him [who makes offerings] in high places & him [who] burns incense to his gods, to [stop.] Therefore, [My] heart shall sound like pipes for Moab & [My] heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: because the riches that he has gotten [have] perished.]

And it shall [happen,] that he [who] flees from the [sound] of fear, shall fall into the pit. And he [who] comes up out of the [middle] of the pit, shall be [caught in a trap.] For the windows from on high are open & the foundations of the earth shake. [Isaiah 29:6 You shall be visited [by] the Lord of Hosts with thunder, with earthquake, [loud] noise, with [a] storm & tempest & the flame of devouring fire.] 

The earth is [totally ] broken down. The earth is [exceedingly] shaken & is [totally] dissolved. [2 Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a [loud] noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth & the works that are [in it] shall be burned up.

[Since] all these things shall be dissolved, what [type of people should] you be, in all holy conversation & godliness, looking [toward & speeding along] the coming of the day of God, [in which] the heavens on fire, shall be dissolved & the elements shall melt with fervent heat? [Still,] we look for new heavens & a new earth, [in which] righteousness dwells, according to His promise.] 

The earth shall real [back & forth] like a drunkard & shall be removed like [an old] cottage & the [sins of it,] shall be heavy upon it. And it shall fall & not rise again. And it shall [happen on] that day, that the Lord shall punish the [hosts]of the high ones, that are on high & the kings of the earth, upon the earth. 

[Daniel 8:9-13 And out of one of them came [forward] a little horn, which [grew exceedingly] great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host & stars to the ground & stamped upon them. 

[Yes,] he magnified himself, even to the prince of the host & by him, the daily sacrifice was taken away & the place of His sanctuary was cast down. And by reason of transgression, an host was given him, against the daily sacrifice & it cast down the Truth to the ground & it [rehearsed] & prospered. 

Then, I heard one saint speaking & another saint said, [to the 1st] saint, [who spoke,] How long shall [it] be [until] the vision [about] the daily sacrifice & the transgression of desolation, [of] both the sanctuary & the host to be [trampled under foot?]

And they shall be gathered together, [like] prisoners are gathered in the pit & shall be shut up in the prison & after many days, they shall be [punished.] Then, the moon shall be [confused] & the sun ashamed, when the Lord of Hosts shall [rule] in Mount Zion & in Jerusalem & before the ancients gloriously.
