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 9:1-21 Isaiah Foretells, Jesus IS the Light that Shines on Those in Shadow of Death

 

Isaiah Foretells, Jesus IS the Light that Shines on Those in the Shadow of Death

Isaiah 9:1-21                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

*[In spite of everything,] the [darkness,] shall not be [like what] was [during] her [affliction,] when [God] lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun & Naphtali, at first, & afterward more grievously [afflicted] her, by the [road] of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the [Gentile] nations. 

[2 Kings 16-18 And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God & made [molded] images, even 2 calves & made a grove, & worshiped all the [stars & constellations] of heaven & served Baal. 

And they caused their sons & daughters to pass through the fire & [they] used divination & enchantments & sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 

Therefore, the Lord was very angry with Israel & removed them out of His sight. There [were] none left, [except] only the tribe of Judah.]

*The people [who] walked in darkness, have seen a great Light. [Those who] dwell in the land of the shadow of death, the Light has shined upon them. [Matthew 4:15-17 The land of [Zebulon & Naphtali,] by the road of the seas, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 

The people [who] sat in darkness, saw [a] great Light & to [those who] sat in the region & the shadow of death, Light [has] sprung up. From that time, Jesus began to preach & to say, Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.] 

You have multiplied the nation & [haven’t] increased [their] joy. [Their] joy before You [is similar] to the joy [during] harvest & [like] men rejoice when they divide the [plunder.] For the yoke of his burden, You have broken & the staff [on] his shoulder & the rod of his oppressor, [like] in the [days] of Midian. 

[Judges 7:20-21 And the 3 companies blew the trumpets & [broke] the pitchers & held the lamps in their left hands & the trumpets in their right hands to blow [with] & they cried [out,] The sword of the Lord & of Gideon. And every man stood in his place [around] the camp & all the [Midian army] ran, cried [out] & fled.]

For every battle of the warrior [has confusing] noise & garments [covered with] blood; but [these garments] shall be [for] burning, [like the] fuel of [a] fire. [Nahum 3:2 The [sound] of a whip, the noise of the rattling wheels, the [galloping] horses & the [jostling] chariots.] 

*For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given & the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His Name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 

[Matthew 1:18 *Now the birth of Jesus Christ was [like this:] When His mother Mary was [engaged] to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with Child of the Holy Ghost.]

There shall be no end of the increase of His government & peace, upon the throne of David & [over] His kingdom, to [command] it & establish it, with judgment & justice from [now on,] even forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts, will [accomplish] this. The Lord sent Word into Jacob, & has [fallen] upon Israel.

And all the people shall know, even Ephraim & the [residents] of Samaria, [who] say, in the pride & [arrogance] of [their] heart, The bricks [have] fallen down, but we will [rebuild] with [cut] stones. The sycamores are cut down, but we will [replace] them [with] cedars. 

Therefore, the Lord shall set up the [enemies] of Rezin, [a.ka. Syria's king,] against him & [combine] his enemies together. The Syrians [in front] & the Philistines behind. And they shall devour Israel [like food] with open [mouths.] For all His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.] 

For the people, [don't] turn to Him, [Who strikes] them, neither do they seek the Lord of Hosts. Therefore, the Lord will cut off from Israel [the] head, & tail, & branch, [a.k.a. powerful] & [reed, a.k.a. powerless] in 1 day. The ancient & honorable is the head & the prophet, [who] teaches lies, is the tail. 

For the leaders of this people cause them to [go astray] & [those who] are led by them are destroyed. Therefore, the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless & widows; for everyone is a hypocrite & [those who do evil] & every mouth speaks [what is foolishness.] 

[Because of] all this, His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.] [Isaiah 5:25 Therefore, the anger of the Lord [grows] against His people & He has stretched [out] His hand against them & has [struck] them. 

And the hills [trembled] & their [corpses] were torn in the midst of the streets. [Because of] all this, His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.] 

[Because] wickedness burns [like] the fire. It shall devour the [sticker & thorn patches] & shall kindle the thickets of the forest & it shall [raise] up like smoke [drifts upward.]

Through the Lord of Host's [anger] the land is darkened & the people shall be [like] the fuel of the fire. No man shall spare his brother. And He shall [devour] on the right hand & [still] be hungry & he shall eat on the left hand & shall not be satisfied. Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm. 

[Jeremiah 19:8-9 And I will make this city desolate [& empty] & a hissing. Everyone [who] passes by shall be astonished & hiss, because of all [its] plagues. 

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons & daughters & everyone shall eat the flesh of his friend in the [battle & extreme famine, which] their enemies & [those who] seek their lives, shall [cut them off from supplies, so they starve.] 

Manasseh, Ephraim & Ephraim & Manasseh. And they shall be together against Judah. [Because of] all this, His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.]
