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 47:1-15 Let the Sorcerers & Others You Turned to Save You

 

Let the Sorcerers & Others You Turned to Save You

Isaiah 47:1-15                              The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

There is no throne, O virgin daughter of Babylon, Come down & sit on the ground in the [dirt.] O daughter of the Chaldeans, you [shall no longer] be called tender & delicate. 

[Jeremiah 25:4-7 And the Lord had sent to you all His servants, the prophets, rising early & sending them [to warn you,] but you haven't [paid attention,] nor [leaned] your ear to hear. 

They said, Everyone turn from his evil [ways] & from your evil [actions] & [live] in the land that the Lord has given to you & to your [forefathers] forever & ever. And [don't] go after other gods & serve & worship them. 

And [don't] provoke Me to anger with the works [made by] your hands & I won't do you [any harm.] Yet, you haven't [paid attention] to Me, says the Lord, [so] that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hand to your own [harm.]

[Cross] over the rivers & take the [stones from the mill] & grind [flour.] Uncover your locks [of hair] & make your leg bare & uncover your thigh. Your nakedness shall be uncovered & [yes,] your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance & I will not [come in contact with] you [like] a man.

As for our Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts is His Name, the Holy One of Israel. You, sit silent & [go] into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for you shall no [longer] be called, The lady of kingdoms.

[Isaiah 13:19-20 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms & the beauty of the Chaldees' [excellence,] shall be [like] when God overthrew Sodom & Gomorrah. 

It shall never be inhabited & neither shall it be [lived] in from generation to generation. Neither shall the Arabian pitch [tents] there. Neither shall the shepherds make their [flock lie] there.] 

I was [angry] with My people & I have polluted My inheritance & have given them into your, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar's] hand & you [didn't] show them [any] mercy. You have laid a very [heavy burden] upon the [elderly.] 

And you said, I shall be a lady forever: so that you didn't [take] these things to heart. Neither did you remember the [final] end of it. [Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets prophesy falsely & the priests rule by their [methods] & My people love to have it [this way.] What will you do in the end [of it?] 

Therefore, now hear this, you, [who] are given to pleasures & [live] carelessly & [who] say in your heart, I am & [no one] else, [besides] me. I shall not sit [like] a widow & neither shall I know the loss of children. 

[Zephaniah 2:14-15 And flocks & all the [animals] of the nations: shall lie down in the [middle] of her: both the cormorant, [a.k.a. The bald headed raven,] & the [heron] shall lodge in the upper [beams] of it. Their voice shall sing in the windows. 

Desolation shall be in the thresholds: for He shall uncover the cedar work. This is the rejoicing city that [lived] carelessly & said in her heart, I am & there is [no one besides] me. How she [has] become a desolation & a place for [animals] to lie down in! Everyone [who] passes by her shall hiss & wag his hand.] 

But these 2 things shall [happen] to you, in a moment [on] one day: the loss of children & widowhood. They shall [completely] come upon you for the multitude of your sorceries & your great abundance of enchantments. 

[1 Thessalonians 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace & safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, [like labor pains come] upon a woman [delivering a] child & they shall not escape.] 

For you have trusted in your wickedness & you have said, [No one] sees me. Your wisdom & your knowledge has [led you astray] & you have said in your heart, I am & [no one besides] me. 

Therefore, evil shall come upon you & you [won't] know from [where it will] rise & [trouble] shall fall upon you & you shall not be able to put it off. And desolation comes upon you suddenly, which you shall not know [about.] 

Now, stand with your enchantments & the multitude of your sorceries, [in which] you have labored, from your youth. If you [are] able to [benefit,] you may prevail. You are [tired with] the multitude of your [advisors.]

Now, let [these] stand up: the astrologers, the stargazers & [those who foretell the future each month] & save you: from the things that shall come upon you. [Watch,] they shall be [like] stubble & the fire shall burn them.  

They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. [It] shall not be a coal to warm at, nor [a] fire to sit [in front of.] [It shall be like this to you from those] with whom you have labored, from your youth, [including] the merchants & everyone shall wander to his [own] [quarters] & none shall save you.
