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 64:1-12 Wanting the Lord God to Not Hold His Peace

 

Wanting the Lord God to Not Hold His Peace

Isaiah 64:1-12                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Oh, that you would [tear open] the heavens, [so] that You would come down & that the mountains might flow down at Your presence. [Psalm 144:5 Bow [down] Your heavens, O Lord & come down. Touch the mountains & they shall smoke.]

[Like] when the melting fire burns. [2 Peter 3:10 *But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat & also the earth & the [things made] that are [in there] shall be burned up.]

The fire causes the waters to boil, to make Your Name known to Your [enemies, so] that the nations may tremble at Your presence! When you did [terribly awesome] things, [that] we [didn’t] look for, You came down & the mountains flowed down at your presence. 

[Exodus 19:17-18 And Moses brought the people [forward] out of the camp to meet with God & they stood at the [lowest] part of the Mount. And Mount Sinai, [a.k.a. Mount Horeb,] was [totally smoking,] because the Lord descended upon it in the fire & the smoke [of it went up like] the smoke of a furnace & the whole [mountain] quaked greatly.] 

O God, since the beginning of the world, men haven't heard, nor [have their ears] [become aware of] & neither have [their eyes] seen [any god] [besides] You & what He has prepared for him, [who] waits for Him. [Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. 

And He will dwell with them & they shall be His people. And God, Himself, shall be with them & be their God. *And God shall wipe away all their tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be any more pain: for the [previous] things [have] passed away.] 

You [greet] him, [who] rejoices & [accomplishes what is righteous] & [those who] remember You & Your ways. [Look,] You are [angry;] for we have sinned. In those, [who continue,] we shall be saved. [2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack [about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient] to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.] 

We are all [like] an unclean thing & all our righteousness, [is like] filthy rags. We all fade [like] a leaf & our [sins] have taken us away like the wind. And there is none, [who] calls upon Your Name, that stirs himself up to [embrace] You, for You have [hidden] Your face from us & have consumed us, because of our [sins.] 

But now, O Lord, You are our Father & we are the clay. And You are our potter & we all are the work of Your hand. [Don't] be very [furious], O Lord. Neither remember [our sins] forever. We [urge] You, [Look] & see, we are all Your people. Your holy cities & Zion are a wilderness & Jerusalem [is] a desolation. 

Our beautiful holy [temple], where our [forefathers] praised You, is burned up with fire. And all our pleasant things are laid [to] waste. [2 Kings 25:9-11 And he burnt the [Lord's] house & the king's house & all the houses of Jerusalem & every great man's house with fire. ] 

And all the army of the [Chaldean's, who] were with the captain of the guard, [broke] down [Jerusalem's] walls [all around.] Now, the rest of the people, [who] were left in the city & the fugitives, [who defected] to the king of Babylon, with the [rest] of the multitude, Nebuzar Adan, the captain of the guard, [carried] away.]

O Lord, will You withdraw Yourself & hold Your peace [about] these things & [severely] afflict us? [Isaiah 54:7-8 For a small moment, I have [abandoned] you; but with great mercies, I will gather you. In a little wrath, I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness, I will have mercy on you, says the Lord, Your Redeemer.]
