About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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 21:1-14 When King Zedekiah Sent Jeremiah to Pashur

When King Zedekiah Sent Jeremiah to Pashur

Jeremiah 21:1-14                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word from the Lord, [that] came to Jeremiah, when king Zedekiah sent [Jeremiah] to Pashur, [Melchiah's] son, & Zephaniah, [Maaseiah's] son, the priest, saying, I pray [that] you [inquire from] the Lord for us. 

For Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, [makes] war against us, & [see] if the Lord will deal with us according to all His wondrous works, [so] that [Nebuchadnezzar] may go [away] from us. 

[Psalm 106:8-12 Nevertheless, [the Lord God] saved them for His Name's sake, [so] that He might make known His mighty power. He also rebuked the Red Sea, & it was dried up. So, He led them through the depths, [like] through the wilderness. And He saved them from the hand of him [who] hated them, & redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. And the waters covered their enemies, & there was not one of them left. Then, they believed His Words, & they sang His praise.] 

Then, Jeremiah said to them, You shall say [this] to Zedekiah. The Lord God of Israel [says this; Look,] I will [return] back the weapons of war that are in your hands, [with which] you fight against: [Babylon's] king, & the Chaldeans, [who] besiege you, [a.k.a. surround you with their troops, & cut you off from supplies, outside] the walls. And I will assemble them into the [middle] of this city. 

[Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery, & [bloodshed] is [on] their hands, & they have committed adultery with their idols, & also have [made] their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them for [their idols.] [Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They  defiled My sanctuary [on] the same day, & have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day, into My sanctuary to [desecrate] it. And [look] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.] 

And I, Myself, will fight with an outstretched hand, & a strong arm, even in: anger, fury, & great wrath, against you. [Isaiah 63:8-10 For He said, Surely they are My people, children [who] will not lie, so He was their [Savior.] In all their [suffering,] He was afflicted, & [in] His presence, the Angel saved them. In His love, & in His pity, He redeemed them, & He [bore] them, & carried them all the days of old. But they rebelled, & [troubled] His Holy Spirit. Therefore, He was turned; to be their enemy, & He fought against them.] 

And I will [strike] the inhabitants of this city, both man, & [animal,] & they shall die of a [severe] pestilence. The Lord [says,] And [afterwards,] I will deliver from: the pestilence, the sword, & the famine, Zedekiah, [Judah's] king; & his servants; the people; & such as [remain] in this city, into the hand of [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, & into the hand of: their enemies, & [those who] seek their life. 

And he shall [strike] them with the edge of the sword. He shall not spare them, & neither have: pity, nor mercy. And you [shall] say to this people, The Lord [says this; See,] I [put] before you: The Way of Life, & The Way of Death. He [who remains] in this city, shall die by the: sword, famine, & pestilence. 

But he, [who goes] out, & [defects] to the Chaldeans, [who surround] you, shall live, & his life shall be to him for a [prize.] For I have set My face against this city for [calamity,] & not for good, [says] the Lord. It shall be given into the hand of [Babylon's] king, & he shall burn it with fire. 

And say [about] the house of [Judah's] king, You, [listen to] the Word of the Lord. The Lord [says this;] O house of David, [carry out] judgment in the morning, & deliver him, [who] is [plundered,] out of the hand of the oppressor, lest My fury [goes] out like fire, & [burns so] that none can quench, [a.k.a. put it out,] because of the evil of your [actions.] 

[2 Kings 21:4-7 And [Manasseh] built altars in the [Lord's] house, [about] which the Lord said, I will put My Name in Jerusalem. And [Manasseh] built altars for all the host of heaven in the 2 courts of the [Lord's] house. And [Manasseh] made his son pass through the fire, & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology, & horoscopes,] & used enchantments, [a.k.a. witchcraft,] & dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. those who contact the dead,] & wizards. 

[Manasseh brought about] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. And [Manasseh put from] the grove, a [carved] image, that he had made, [into] the [Lord's] house, of which the Lord said to David, & to his son, Solomon, I will put My Name forever, in this house, & in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.] 

The Lord [says, Look,]  I Am against you, O [inhabitants] of the valley, & the rock of the plain, [who] say, Who shall come down against us?  Or who shall enter into our [dwellings?] [Jeremiah 23:11-14 For both the [prophets & priests] are profane. [Yes,] I have found their wickedness in My house, [says] the Lord. [For this reason,] their [road] shall be to them [like] slippery [roads] in the darkness. They shall be driven on, & fall [on them.] For I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, [a.k.a. punishment, says] the Lord. And I have seen [foolishness] in the prophets of Samaria. They prophesied [about] Baal, & caused My people, Israel, to [go astray.] 

I have also seen [a] horrible thing in the prophets of Jerusalem. They commit adultery, & walk, [a.k.a. follow,] [what are:] lies. They also strengthen the hands of [those who] [do evil, so] that none [returns] from his wickedness. They are, all of them to Me [like] Sodom, & the [residents of it like] Gomorrah.] 

But I will punish you according to the fruit [produced from] your [actions, says] the Lord. [Revelation 22:12-13 *And [watch,] I come quickly. And My reward is with Me, & shall be to give [to] every man according [like] his works, [a.k.a. deeds.] I Am [the:] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.] 

And I will [ignite] a fire in the forest [of it,] & it shall devour all things [all around] it. [Isaiah 3:10-11 You, say to the righteous, that it shall [go] well with him. For they shall eat the fruit [produced from] their [actions.] Woe, [a.k.a. Distress,] to the wicked! It shall [go poorly for] him. For the reward of his hands shall be given [to] him.]
