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 27:1-13 The Lord God Slaying the Crooked Serpent & Dragon

 

The Lord God Slaying the Crooked Serpent & Dragon

Isaiah 27:1-13                               The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[On] that day, the Lord & His [sharp, large,] strong sword shall punish leviathan, the piercing serpent. Even leviathan, that [deceitful] serpent & he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. [Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil & Satan, which deceives the whole world. He was cast out into the earth & his angels were cast out with him.] 

[On] that day you sing to her, A vineyard of red wine. I, the Lord, do [tend] it & I will water [the vineyard] every moment: lest any [harm] it. I will [tend] it night & day. Who would set the [sticker bushes] & thorns against Me in battle? 

Fury isn't in Me. I would go through them & I would burn them together. Or let him take hold of My strength, [so] that he may make peace with Me. And he shall make peace with Me.

[Isaiah 26:3-4 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is [focused] on You: because He trusts in You. Trust you in the Lord forever: for the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.]

He shall cause [those who] come of Jacob to take root & Israel shall blossom & bud & shall fill the [surface] of the world with fruit. [Isaiah 37:31 And the [rest of those] of Judah [who] escaped, shall again take root downward & bear fruit upward.] 

Has He, [a.k.a. God, struck] him, [a.k.a. Israel, like] He, [a.k.a. God, struck] those [who struck him, a.k.a. Israel?]  Or is he, [a.k.a Israel,] slain, according to the slaughter of those [who] are killed by Him, [a.k.a God?] 

In [measured time,] when [the vineyard, a.k.a. Israel, sprouts out,] You will debate with it. He [holds off] His rough wind, [on] the day of the east wind. [Matthew 8:22-27 But Jesus said to him, Follow Me & let the dead bury their dead. And when He [had] entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him. 

And, [saw,] there arose a [large] tempest in the sea, in so much, that the ship was covered with the waves, but He was asleep. And His disciples came to HIm & awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 

And He [said] to them, Why are you [so] fearful, O you of little faith? Then He arose & [scolded] the winds & the sea & there was a great calm. But the men marveld, saying, What [type] of man is this, that even the winds & the sea obey Him?]

When He makes all the stones of the altar [like chalk,] that is beaten [to pieces,] & the groves & the images shall not stand up. Therefore, by this, the [sin] of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] shall be [cleansed.] [2 Chronicles 34:7 And when he had broken down the altars & the groves & had beaten the [carved] images into powder & cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.]

[Still,] the [fortified] city [& homes] shall be desolate & [abandoned] & left like a wilderness. The calf shall feed there & he shall lie down there & [devour its] branches. When [its] boughs are withered, they shall be broken off. The women come & set them on fire: for it is a people [without] understanding. 

He, [Who] made them won't have mercy on them & He, [Who] formed them, will not [declare] favor to them. And it shall [happen on] that day, that the Lord shall beat off [Egypt] from off [canals] of the [Euphrates] River to the [Brook] of Egypt. And O you children [people] of Israel, shall be gathered one by one. 

[Isaiah 24:13 It shall be [like this] in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be [like] the shaking of an olive tree & like the gleaning [of] grapes when the vintage is done.] 

And it shall [happen on] that day, that the [large] trumpet shall be blown & [those who] were ready to perish in the land of Assyria & the outcasts of Egypt, shall come worship the Lord in the Holy Mountain at Jerusalem. 

[Isaiah 2:3 And many shall go & say, You come & let us go up to the Mountain of the Lord & the house of the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] And He will teach us of His ways & we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the Law & the Word of the Lord, from Jerusalem.]
