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.

Jeremiah 15:1-21 The Lord Will Deliver Those Who Return to Him, From the Hand of the Wicked

 

The Lord Will Deliver Those Who Return to Him, From the Hand of the Wicked

Jeremiah 15:1-21                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Then the Lord said to me, [Although] Moses & Samuel stood before Me, [still] My mind couldn't [accept] this people. Cast them out of My sight & let them go [forward.] 

[Exodus 32:7-10 And the Lord said to Moses, Go & get down; [because] your people, [that] you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have quickly [gone astray from] the [path] I have commanded them. 

They have made [themselves] a [molded] calf & have worshiped it & sacrificed [to it] & said, These are your gods, O Israel, [that] have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.

And the Lord said to Moses, I have seen this people & [saw] it is a stiffnecked, [a.k.a. stubborn] people. Therefore, now let Me alone, [so] that My [anger] may [grow] hot against them & consume them & I will make [from] you a great nation.] 

And it shall [happen,] if they say to you, [Where] shall we go [forward?] Then, you shall tell them, The Lord says [this;] [Some who are determined] for death, [shall go] to death. [Some determined] for the sword, [shall go by] the sword. [Some determined for] famine, [shall go by] famine. And [some determined for] captivity, [shall go into] captivity. 

[Revelation 13:10 Here is the patience & the faith of the saints: He, [who] leads [others] into captivity, shall go into captivity. He, [who] kills with the sword, must be killed with the sword.]

The Lord says, And I will appoint over them 4 [ways:] the sword to slay; the dogs to tear; the fowls of heaven & the [animals] of the earth, to devour & destroy. And I will cause them to be removed [& go] into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, [Hezekiah's] son, [Judah's] king, for [what] he did in Jerusalem. 

[2 Kings 21:1-6 Manasseh was 12 years old when he began to [rule] & [ruled] 55 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah. And he did [what] was evil in the sight of the Lord, [like] the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out before the children [people] of Israel. 

For [Manasseh rebuilt] again the high places [that] Hezekiah, his father, had destroyed. And he [put] up altars for Baal & made a grove, [like] Ahab, [Israel's] king, & worshiped all the [stars & constellations] of heaven & served them. And he built altars in the house of the Lord, in which the Lord said, I will put My Name in Jerusalem.

And he built altars for all the [stars & constellations] of heaven in the 2 [courtyards] of the [Lord's] house. And he made his son pass through the fire & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology or horoscopes,] used enchantments & dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking with the dead] & wizards. He [did] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.] 

For who shall have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who shall [mourn for] you? Or who shall go [to the side] to ask how you [are doing?] You have [abandoned] Me, says the Lord & you [have] gone backward. ]

Therefore, I will stretch out My hand against you & destroy you. I am [tired] with repenting. [Jeremiah 20:16 And let that man be [like] the cities [that didn't repent] that the Lord overthrew. And let him hear the [out] cry in the morning & the shouting at [noon.]

And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land. I will [deprive] them of children & I will destroy My people, since they [don't] return from their ways. [Jeremiah 1:16 And I will [express] My judgments against them, [about] all their wickedness. [Those] who have abandoned Me & have burned incense to other gods. And worshiped the works [made by] their hands.]

Their widows [have] increased [of My people,] above the sand of the seas.        [2 Chronicles 28:6 For Pekah, [Remaliah's] son, [killed] 120,000 valiant men in Judah in one day, because they had [abandoned] the Lord God of their [forefathers.]  

I have brought a [plunderer] against them & the mother of the young men, [at [noon.] I have caused him & terrors to fall upon the city suddenly. She, [who gave birth to] 7,[who have died,] [becomes weak] & she has [died, a.k.a. given up the ghost.] 

Her sun [has] gone down, while it was [still] day. She has been ashamed & [confused.] And I will deliver [those remaining] to the sword before their enemies, says the Lord. 

Woe is me, my mother [who has delivered] me, a man of [discord & arguments] to the whole earth! I haven't lent [for interest,] nor [have] men lent to me [for interest.] [Still,] everyone of them [curses] me. 

The Lord said, [Truly,] it shall [go] well with [those remaining.] [Truly,] I will cause the enemy to [treat] you well, in the time of evil & in the time of affliction. Shall iron break the Northern iron & the steel? I will give your [possessions] & [priceless] treasures to the [plunderer, because of] all your sins, even [within] all your borders. [Isaiah 52:3 For the Lord says [this,] You have sold yourselves for [nothing] & you will be redeemed without money.]

And I will make you to [cross] with your enemies into a land [that] you [don't] know. For a fire [is stared] in My anger, which shall burn upon you. [Jeremiah 16:13 Therefore, I will cast you out of this land into a land that you [don't] know & neither [did] you, nor your [forefathers.] And you shall serve other gods there day & night, where I will show you [no favoritism.] 

O Lord, You know: remember me & visit me & [avenge] me of my persecutors. In Your [patience, don't] take me away. Know that I have suffered [disgrace,] for Your sake. Your Words were found & I [digested] them. And Your Word was the joy & rejoicing of [my] heart, [for] me.

For I am called by Your Name, O Lord God of Hosts. [Jeremiah 1:9 [For this reason,] I will [still] plead with you, says the Lord. And I will plead with your children's children.]

I [didn't sit] in the assembly of the mockers, nor [did I rejoice.] I sat alone, because of Your hand. [Isaiah 41:10 [Don't] fear; for I am with you. [Don't] be [discouraged;] for I am your God. I will strengthen you & [yes,] I will help you. [Yes,] I will uphold you with the right hand of My Righteousness.] 

For You have filled me with indignation [about injustice.] Why is my pain [continual] & my wound incurable, [that] refuses to be healed? [Will] You [totally] be to me [like] a liar & [like] waters that fail? Therefore, the Lord says [this,] If you return, then, I will bring you [back] again & you shall stand before Me. 

And if you take [out] [what is] precious, from [what is] vile, you shall be [like] My [mouthpiece.] Let them return to you; but [don't] return to them. [Isaiah 1:21-24 How this faithful city has become [like a] harlot! Your silver has become [scum] & your wine [is] mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious & [friends] of thieves. 

Everyone loves gifts & follows after rewards, [a.k.a. bribes.] They don't [fairly] judge the fatherless & neither does the [case] of the widow come to them. Therefore, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, says, I will ease [Myself] of [My] enemies.] 

And I will make you, to this people [like] a fenced [brass] wall. And they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you. For I am with you to save you & to deliver you, says the Lord. And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked. And I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.

[Isaiah 41:11-13 [Look,] all [those who] were [irate] against you, shall be ashamed & [confused.] They shall be [like] nothing & [those who argue] with you shall perish.   

You shall seek them & shall not find them, even [those who argued] with you & [those who] [go to] war & [fought] against you, shall be [like] nothing & [like] a thing [that didn't exist.] For, I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, [Don't] fear; I will help you.]
