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 49:1-26 Foretelling Many Things About Jesus

 

Foretelling Many Things About Jesus

Isaiah 49:1-26                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

O [coastal islands,] Listen to Me & you people from far [distances,] [pay attention.] The Lord has called Me from the womb; from the [insides] of My mother & He has made mention of My Name. 

[Isaiah 41:6-8 I, the Lord, has called You In Righteousness & will hold Your hand & will keep You & give You for a Covenant [for] the people, for a Light [for] the Gentiles; to open the blind eyes, to bring prisoners out from the prison & [those who] sit in darkness, out from the prison [to his] house. I Am the Lord. That is My Name & I won't give My glory to another & neither My praise to [carved] images.]

And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword. He has [hidden] Me in the [shade] of His hand & made Me a polished [arrow] shaft, [hidden] in His quiver. And [He] said to me, You are My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. [Matthew 12:15-18 But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew Himself from [there] & great multitudes followed Him & He healed them all. 

And He [ordered] them that they shouldn't make Him known: [so] that it might be fulfilled, [what] was spoken by [Isaiah,] the prophet, saying, *Behold My servant, Whom I have chosen, My Beloved in Whom My soul is well please. I will put My Spirit upon Him & He shall [deliver justice] to the Gentiles.]

Then, I said, I have labored in vain. I have spent my strength for [nothing, with no result.] Yet, surely, my [justice] is with the Lord & my work [is] with my God. And now, says the Lord, [Who] formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob again to Him. [Although] Jacob [hasn't] gathered, [still] I shall be glorious in the eyes of the Lord & My God shall be My strength.

*And He said, It is a little thing that you should be My servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob & to restore the [safeguarded] of Israel, I will also give You for a Light to the Gentiles, [so] that You may be My Salvation [until] the end of the earth.

[Acts 13:47-49 *For the Lord has commanded us, saying, I have [put] you to be a Light of the Gentiles, [so] that you should be for Salvation to the ends of the earth. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad & glorified the Word of the Lord & as many as were [appointed] to eternal life, believed.] 

The Lord, the Redeemer of Israel & His Holy One, to Him, Whom man despises. To Him & the nation [loathes,] to a Servant of rulers. Kings shall see & arise & princes shall also worship, because of the Lord, [Who] is faithful & the Holy One of Israel & He shall choose You. 

[Mark 15:29-30 *And those, [who] passed by [ridiculed] Him, wagging their heads & saying, Ah, You, [Who] destroys the temple & builds in in 3 days, Save Yourself & come down from the cross.] 

*The Lord says [this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You & [on] the day of Salvation, I have helped You & I will [safeguard] You & give You for a Covenant [for] the people, to establish the earth & to cause the desolate heritages [to be] inherited.

*That You may say to the prisoners, Go [out] & to [those who] are in darkness, [Show] yourselves. They shall [eat] by the [roads] & their pastures shall all be in high places. [Luke 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. 

He has sent Me: to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind & to [give] liberty, [a.k.a. freedom,] to [those, who] are [wounded] & to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.]

*They shall not hunger, nor thirst. Neither shall the heat, nor the sun [burn] them. For He, [Who] has mercy on them shall lead them & guide them, even by the springs of waters. 

[Revelation 7:16-17 *They shall no [longer] hunger, neither thirst anymore. Neither shall the sun, nor any heat [burn] them. *For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne, shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of Waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.] 

And I will make a [road in] all My mountains & My highways shall be exalted. [Isaiah 40:4 Every valley shall be exalted & every hill shall be made low & the crooked shall be made straight & the rough places [made] [smooth.] 

[Watch,] these shall come from far [away] & [look] these from the North & the West & these from the land of Sinim. O heavens, sing & be joyful, O earth. And break [out] into singing, O mountains: for the Lord has comforted His people & will have mercy upon His afflicted. 

[Revelation 21:4-7 *And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes & there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain: for the [previous] things are passed away.] 

But Zion said, The Lord has [abandoned] me & my Lord has forgotten me. [Isaiah 54:7-8 For a small moment, I have [abandoned] you; but I will gather you with great mercies. [With] a little [anger,] I hid My face from you for a moment; but I will have mercy on you with everlasting kindness, says the Lord your Redeemer.] 

Can a woman forget her [nursing] child, [so] that she [wouldn't] have compassion on the son of her womb? [yes,] they may forget, [but] I won't forget you. [Malachi 3:16-18 Then, [those who] feared [respected] the Lord [spoke] often one to another & the Lord [paid attention] & heard it. And a Book of Remembrance was written [in front] of Him for [those who] feared [respected] the Lord & thought upon His Name. 

And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of Hosts, [on] that day, when I make up My Jewels. And I will spare them, [like] a man spares his own son, [who] serves him. Then, You shall return & [decide] between the righteous & the wicked, between him, [who] serves God & him, [who doesn't] serve Him.]

[Look,] I have [carved] [your names] upon the palms of My hands. Your  walls are continually before Me. [Isaiah 60:18 Violence, [ruin,] nor destruction, shall no [longer] be heard in your land, within your borders. But you shall call your walls: Salvation & your gates: Praise.] 

Your children & your destroyers & [those who] made you waste [lands] shall make haste go [out] of you. Lift up your eyes & [look around.] All these gather themselves together & come to you. The Lord says, As I live, you shall surely clothe [yourself] with all [of] them, [like] with an ornament & [tie] them on you, [like] a bride does. 

[Isaiah 60:4 Lift up your eyes [around] & see: all [those who] gather themselves together, [shall] come to you. Your sons shall come from far & your daughter shall be nursed at your side.]

For your waste [lands,]  your desolate places & your land [that has been destroyed,] is too [small, for] the inhabitants. And [those who] swallowed you up, shall be far away. After you had lost the [others,] the children [that] you have, shall say again in your ears, The place is too [small] for me. Give me [a] place that I may dwell. 

Then, you shall say in your heart, Who has [given birth to these for] me, seeing, I am desolate & have lost my children, a captive, [wandering] to & fro? And who has [raised] these? [Look,] I was left alone & where had these been? 

The Lord God says [this, Watch,] I will lift up [My] hand to the Gentiles & [put] up My [banner] to the people & they shall bring your [new] sons in their arms & your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. And kings shall be your [foster] fathers & their queens you [foster] mothers. 

They shall bow down to you [facing the ground] & lick up the dust [off] your feet. And you shall know that I Am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed, [who] wait for Me. 

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the [captives, lawfully] delivered? But the Lord says [this,] Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away & the prey of the [ruthless] shall be delivered: for I will [dispute] with him, [who argues] with you & I will save your children.]

And I will feed [those who] oppress you, with their own flesh & they shall be [drunk] with their own blood, [like] with sweet wine. And all [humans] shall know that I, the Lord, Am your Savior & your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.
