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 56:1-21 Keep From Polluting, [a.k.a. defiling] the Sabbath

 

Keep From Polluting, [a.k.a. defiling] the Sabbath

Isaiah 56:1-21                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this, Obey] judgment & do justice. For My Salvation is [soon] to come & My righteousness [is soon] to be revealed. Blessed is the man [who] does this & the son of man, [who embraces] it & keeps from [defiling] the Sabbath & keeps his hand from doing any evil.

Neither let the son of the stranger, [who] has joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, the Lord has [totally] separated me from His people. Neither let the eunuch say, [Look,] I am a dry tree. [Acts 8:32-35 The place of the scripture [that] he read was this, He was led [like] a sheep to the slaughter & like a [mute] lamb [in front of] his shearer. So He [didn't] open His mouth.

In His humiliation, His [justice] was taken away. And who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip & said, I pray [that] you [tell,] of Whom the prophet speaks this? Of himself, or some other Man? Then, Philip opened his mouth & began at the same scripture & preached [about] Jesus to him.] 

For the Lord says [this] to the eunuchs, [who] keep My Sabbaths & choose the things that please Me & [embrace] My Covenant. I will give, even to them a place & a name better than of sons & daughters within My walls in [My] house. I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 

[Revelation 2:17 He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. I will give to him, [who] overcomes, to eat of the hidden manna & will give him a white stone & on the stone a new name written, which no man knows, [except] he, [who] receives it.] 

Also, the sons of the [strangers who] join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him & to love the Name of the Lord, to be His servants & everyone [who] keeps the Sabbath & from [defiling] it & [embraces] My covenant, even [those] I will bring to My Holy mountain & make them joyful in My house of prayer. 

Their burnt offerings & their sacrifices shall be accepted upon [My] altar. For [My] house shall be a house of prayer for all people. [Romans 10:9-13 That if you shall confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus & shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart, man believes [that leads to] righteousness & confession with the mouth [that leads to] Salvation.

For the scripture says, [Whoever] believes [in] Him, shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew & the Greek, [a.k.a. the Gentiles, the heathen & those who don't know & love the Lord God.] For the same Lord over all is rich to all [who] call upon Him. For [whoever] shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.] 

The Lord God, [Who] gathers the outcasts of Israel says, [Still,] I will gather others to him, [besides] those [who] are gathered to him. All you [animals] of the field, come to devour. [Yes,] all you [animals] in the forest.

[Isaiah 60:10-11 And the sons of strangers shall build up your walls & their kings shall minister to you, for in My [anger,] I struck] you, but in My favor, I have had mercy on you. Therefore, your gates shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day, nor night; [so] that men may bring to you, the [troops] of the Gentiles & their kings.]

His watchmen are blind. [Ezekiel 3:17 Son of man, I have made you a watchman [for] the house of Israel. Therefore, hear the Word at My mouth & give them warning from Me.]

They are all ignorant & are all [mute] dogs. They can't bark; [whether] sleeping, lying down, [they love] to slumber. [Yes,] they are greedy dogs [that] can't have enough. And they are shepherds that can't understand.

From his [living] [quarters,] they all look to their own [path] & everyone for his [own] gain. They say, Come you & I will [get] wine & we will fill ourselves with strong drink. And tomorrow shall be [like today, but] much more abundant.
