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 30:1-33 Distress for the Rebellious Children Who Take Counsel of False gods

 

Distress for the Rebellious Children Who Take Counsel of False gods

Isaiah 30:1-33                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[Distress for] the rebellious children [people,] says the Lord, that [get advice,] but not [from] Me & [who seek for protection,] [like a] cover, but not of My Spirit, [so] that they may add sin to sin.

[Isaiah 29:15 [Distress for those who search] deep to hide their [advice] from the Lord & their [deeds] are [hidden] in the dark & they say, Who sees us? And Who knows us?] 

That walk to go down into Egypt, to strengthen themselves in [Pharaoh's] strength & to trust in the [shade] of Egypt, [but] haven't asked [for a response from] My Mouth! Therefore, the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame & the trust in the [shade] of Egypt, [shall be] your confusion.  

[Isaiah 31:1 [Distress for those who] go down to Egypt for help & [rely] on horses & trust in chariots & horsemen, because [there] are many & they are very strong. But they [don't] look to the Holy One of Israel, neither [do they] seek the Lord!]

[Hane's] ambassadors came to [him] & his princes were [in] Zoan. They were all ashamed of a people, [who] couldn't [benefit] them, nor be [of] help, nor profit, but a shame & also a [disgrace.] [Isaiah 19:11 Surely, the princes of Zoan are fools. The counsel of the wise & [Pharaoh’s] counselors [have] become [foolish.] How [do] you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the sons of ancient kings?] 

The [vision] of the beasts of the south: into a land of trouble & anguish, from [where] the young & old [lions] come, the [cobra] & the fiery, flying serpent & they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young [mules] & their treasures upon the [haunches] of camels, to a people, [who] shall not [benefit] them. 

[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.]

For the Egyptians shall help in vain & [be ineffective.] Therefore, I have cried [out about] this. Their strength is to sit still. Now, go & write it [in front of] them in a [tablet] & note it in a book, [so] it may be for the time to come, forever & ever, that this is a rebellious people, lying children. 

Children [people, who] won't hear the Law of the Lord.  [Habakkuk 2:2-3 And the Lord answered me & said, Write the vision & make it plain upon [tablets, so] he, [who] reads it may run. For the vision is [still] for an appointed time, but at the end it shall [tell] & not lie [still:] though it [delays,] wait for it; because it will surely [happen,] it won't [linger.]

[Who] say to the seer, [Don't] see & to the prophets, [Don't] prophesy to us [righteous] things. Speak to us [pleasant] things & prophesy [what is deceit.] You, get out of the [road] & turn & [go astray] out of the path. And [let us no longer hear of] the Holy One of Israel before us. 

[For this reason, the Holy One of Israel says [this,] Because you despise this Word & trust in oppression & [wickedness] & [rely on them;] Therefore, this [sin] shall be to you [like a split extending in] a high wall, ready to fall, whose breaking comes suddenly, [in] an instant. 

And He shall break it, [like] the breaking of the potter's [hardened clay] vessel that is broken in pieces. He shall not spare: so that there shall not be found a [sharp] shard [from its] bursting, to take fire from the [fireplace] hearth [like with a scoop.] 

Or to take water out of the [well with it.] For the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, says [this;] You shall be saved, in returning & rest. Your strength shall be in quietness & in confidence, [but] you wouldn't [do this.] 

[Matthew 23:37-38 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you, [who] kill the prophets & stone [those who] are sent to you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen gathers her chickens under her wings & you would not! [Watch,] your house is left to you desolate [& empty.] 

But you said, No; for we will flee & ride upon swift horses. Therefore, [those who] pursue you shall be swift. 1,000 shall flee at the [scolding] of 1. At the [scolding] of 5, you shall flee: [until] you [are] left [alone] like a beacon, [a.k.a. lamp,] on top of a mountain, [like] a [flag] on a hill. 

And therefore, the Lord will wait, [so] that He may be gracious to you. And therefore, He will be exalted, [so] that He may have mercy upon you. For the Lord is a God of [justice.] Blessed are all [those who] wait for Him. [Revelation 3:19-21 I [reprimand] & chastise, as many as I love. 

Therefore, be zealous & repent. [Watch,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man [hears] My voice & [opens] the door, I will come in to him & will [dine] with him & he with Me. To him, [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame & am [sitting] down with My Father, [on] His throne.]

For the people shall dwell [at] Zion [in] Jerusalem. You shall no [longer] weep. He will be very gracious to you, at the [sound] of your [out] cry & when he shall hear it, He will answer you. And though the Lord [gives] you the bread of adversity & the water of affliction, [still,] your teachers [of faith,] shall not be removed into a corner anymore. 

But your eyes shall see your teachers & your ears shall hear a word behind you, when you turn to the right hand [side] or you turn to the left, saying, This is the [path,] you, walk in it. You shall also defile the silver [coating] of your [carved] images & the gold ornament of your [molded] images. You shall [throw] them away, [like a monthly cycle pad.] You shall say to it, You [get away from here.] 

Then, He shall [again] give the rain [for] your seed, [so] that you shall sow the ground [with it;] & [for] the bread of the [produce] of the earth & it shall be [rich & plentiful.] [On] that day, your [livestock] shall feed in large pastures. [Also,] the oxen & the young [donkeys,] that [plow] the ground, shall eat clean [fodder,] which has been [separated] with the fan & the shovel. 

And upon every high mountain & every high hill, there shall be rivers & streams of waters [on] the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. [Luke 13:1-5 At that [time,] there were some, [who] told Him of the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had [mixed] with their sacrifices. And Jesus [answered] & said to them, [Do] you supposed these Galileans [were worse] sinners above all the Galileans, because they suffered such things? 

I tell you, No; but, [unless] you repent, you shall all [also] perish. Or those 18, upon whom the Tower in Siloam fell & [killed] them, [do] you think they were [worse] sinners above all men, [who] dwelt in Jerusalem? I tell you, No; but [unless] you repent, you shall all likewise perish.]

[Additionally,] the light of the moon shall be [like] the light of the sun. [Revelation 21:22-23 And I saw no temple [there:] for the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun & neither the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God [lightened] it & the Lamb is the light [of it.]

And the light of the sun shall be 7 [times as much,] as the light of 7 days, [on] the day that the Lord [bandages] up the [wound] of His people & heals the [whip marks] of their wound. [Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised & rejected [by] men; a Man of sorrows & acquainted with grief. 

And we hid, [like] it were our faces from Him. He was despised & we [didn't hold] Him [in high regard.] Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows, [still] we did not [respect] Him, [suffering, struck] & afflicted [by] God. But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our [sins] & with His [whip] stripes, we are healed.] 

[Watch,] the Name of the Lord comes from far, burning with His anger & [its] burden is heavy. His lips are full of indignation & His tongue, [is like] a devouring fire.

[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 [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.]

And His breath, [like] an overflowing stream, shall reach to the [middle] of the neck, to sift the nations with the [strainer] of vanity. And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to [go astray.] 

[Isaiah 11:4 But the [righteous] shall judge the poor & [repay] with equity, for the [humble] of the earth. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod of His mouth & He shall slay the wicked, with the breath of His lips.] 

You shall have a song, [like on] the night when a holy [solemn feast] is kept & gladness of heart, [like] when [someone] goes into the mountain of the Lord with a [flute] to the Mighty One of Israel. And the Lord shall cause His glorious voice to be heard & shall [sling] the lightning down [from] His arm, with the indignation of His anger, the flame of devouring fire, with tempest & with scattering hailstones. 

For through the [Lord's] voice, the Assyrian, [who struck] with a rod, shall be beaten down. And there shall be [tambourines] & harps, in every place where the staff [of correction] shall pass, [that] the Lord shall lay upon him. He will fight with [the Assyrians] in battles with [much trembling.] 

For Tophet, [a.k.a. The Valley of Hinnom, also Topheth,] is [appointed,] of old, for much wood is prepared for [its] king & the pile [of it,] He has made it deep & large & the [Lord's] breath will kindle it, like a stream of brimstone. 

[2 Kings 23:10 And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of the children [people] of Hinnom, [so] that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.]
