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 31:1-9 Distress for Those Who Go to Egypt for Help

 

Distress for Those Who Go to Egypt for Help

Isaiah 31:1-9                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

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

[Isaiah 8:18-19 *[Look,] the children & I, whom the Lord has given me are for signs & for wonders in Israel, from the Lord of Hosts, [Who] dwells in Mount Zion. And when they shall say to you, Seek to [those who] have familiar spirits, [a.k.a. speaking with the dead] & to wizards that peep & [whisper,] shouldn’t a people seek to their God? For the Living, [not] to the dead?]

He is yet also wise & will bring [disaster] & won't [withdraw] His Words: but will arise against the house of the [those who do evil] & against the help of [those, who] work [sinfully.] [Jeremiah 4:2-5 And you shall swear, the Lord lives in: Truth, [Justice] & in Righteousness. 

And the nations shall bless themselves in Him & they shall [boast] in Him. For the Lord says [this] to the men of Judah & Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground & don't sow [seeds] among thorns. 

Circumcise yourselves to the Lord & take away the foreskins [covering] your heart, you men of Judah & [residents] of Jerusalem: lest My fury [comes out] like fire & [burns, so] that none can [put it out,] because of the evil of your [actions.] 

You in Judah declare & [proclaim it] in Jerusalem & say, You, [who] blow the trumpet in the land: cry [out] & gather together & say, Assemble yourselves & let us go into the [fortified] cities.] 

Now, the Egyptians are [only] men & not God. And their horses are flesh & not Spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out His hand, both he, [who] helps shall fall & he, [who] is [helped] shall fall together. 

For the Lord has spoken [this] to me, Like the lion & young lion roaring [over] his prey, when a multitude of shepherds [are] called [out] against [the lion,] he won't be afraid of their voice, nor [humble] himself for the [sound] of them. So, shall the Lord of Hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion & for the hill [of it.] 

[Like] flying birds, so will the Lord of Hosts [swoop down to] defend Jerusalem & [in] defending, He will also deliver it & passing over, He will [safeguard] it. You, children [people] of Israel, [who] have deeply revolted, [return] to Him. For [on] that day, every man shall [throw] away his idols of silver & idols of gold, [that] your own hands have made [for yourselves] for a sin. 

Then, shall the Assyrian [be struck down by] the sword, not [by] a mean [or] mighty man & shall [defeat] him: but he shall flee from the sword & his young men shall be [ashamed.] 

[2 Kings 19:34-35 For I will defend this city, to save it for [My] Own sake & for My servant, David's sake. And it [happened,] that night, that the Angel of the Lord went out & [struck] the camp of 185,000 Assyrians. And when [the Israelites] arose early in the morning, [saw,] they were all dead corpses.]

The Lord, Whose fire is in Zion & His furnace in Jerusalem says, And he shall pass over to his [fortified] city for fear & his princes shall be afraid of the [banner.] [Isaiah 37:37-38 So king Sennacherib of Assyria departed, went & returned & dwelt in Nineveh. 

And it [happened,] as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch, his god, that Adrammelech & Sharezer, his sons, [struck] him with the sword & they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar Haddon, his son, [ruled] in his [place.]
