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.

Psalm 99:1-9 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 99:1-9            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [rules.] Let the people tremble. He sits between the cherubims. Let the earth be moved. [Exodus 25:22 From above the mercy seat, from between the 2 cherubims [that] are upon the Ark of the Testimony, I will meet with you there & I will [talk] with you [about] all things [that] I will give you in [commandments] to the children [people] of Israel.] 

The Lord is great in Zion & He is [exalted] above all the people. Let them praise Your great & [terribly awesome] Name; for it is Holy. The king's strength also loves judgment. You [established] equity & You [carry out justice] & righteousness in Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] 

You, exalt the Lord your God & worship at His footstool; for He is Holy. Moses, Aaron & Samuel [are] among His priests, [who called] upon His Name. They called upon the Lord & He answered them.

[1 Samuel 7:8-10 And the children of Israel said to Samuel, [Don't stop crying out] to the Lord our God for us, [so] that He will save us [from] out of the hand of the Philistines. And Samuel took a [suckling] lamb & offered it for a burnt offering [totally] to the Lord & Samuel cried [out] to the Lord for Israel. 

And the Lord heard him. And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But the Lord thundered on the Philistines with a great thunder that day & [defeated the Philistines] & they were [struck down before Israel.]

He [spoke] to them in the cloudy pillar. They kept His testimonies & His [mandates] that He gave them. [Exodus 19:17-20 And Moses brought [forward] the people out of the camp to meet with God & they stood at the [lowest] part of the [mountain.] 

And Mount Sinai was [totally smoking,] because the Lord descended upon it in fire. And the smoke [of it went up like] the smoke of a furnace & the whole [mountain] quaked greatly. 

And when the long sound [of the] trumpet sounded & [grew] louder & louder, Moses [spoke] & God answered him by a voice. And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the [mountain] & Moses went up.]

You answered them, O Lord our God. You [were] a God, [Who] forgave them, though You took vengeance [on their evil deeds.] [Exodus 32:21-24 And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people [do] to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them? Aaron said, [Don't] let the anger of my lord [grow] hot. 

You know the people, that they are set on [evil.] For they said to me, Make us gods, [that] shall go before us: as for Moses, we [don't know] what [has] become of him. And I said to them, [Whoever] has any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it [to] me. Then, I cast it into the fire & this calf came out there.]

Exalt the Lord our God & worship at His Holy hill; for the Lord our God is Holy.

Psalm 98:1-9 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

A Psalm.

Psalm 98:1-9            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O sing to the Lord a new song; for He has done marvelous things. His right hand & His holy arm, have gotten Him the victory. [Isaiah 52:1-9-10 Break [out] into joy & sing together, you [ruins] of Jerusalem: for the Lord has comforted His people.

He has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has made bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations & all the ends of the earth shall see the Salvation of our God.] 

He has openly [shown] His righteousness in the sight of the heathen & the Lord has made known His Salvation. [Isaiah 62:2 And the Gentiles shall see Your righteousness & all kings [shall see] Your glory. And you shall be called a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.]

He has remembered His mercy & His truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the Salvation of our God. [Acts 13:47-49 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, [so] that you should be for Salvation unto the ends of the earth. 

And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad & glorified the Word of the Lord. And as many as were [appointed] to eternal life, believed. And the Word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.] 

Make a joyful noise the Lord, all the earth. Make a loud noise, rejoice & sing praise. With the harp & the [song] of a psalm, sing to the Lord with the harp. Make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King, with the sound of trumpets & [cornets.]  

Let the world & [those who] dwell [in it] & the sea roar & the fulness [of it.] Let the [flood waters] clap their hands & let the hills be joyful together before the Lord. For He comes to judge the earth. He shall judge the world & the people with equity. 

[Revelation 22:12-15 And [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give every man according [to] his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last.

Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever loves inventing & telling lies.]

Psalm 97:1-12 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 97:1-12            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [rules;] let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of [coastal islands] be glad [of it.] Clouds & darkness are [around] Him. Righteousness & [justice] are [residence] of His throne.

[Exodus 19:16-20 And it [happened] on the 3rd day in the morning that thunders, lightnings & thick [clouds were] upon the [mountain.] And the [sound] of the trumpet [was exceedingly] loud; so, that all the people [who were] in the camp trembled. 

And Moses brought [forward] the people out of the camp to meet with God. They stood at the [bottom] part of the [mountain.] And Mount Sinai was [totally smokey,] because the Lord  [went down] upon it in fire & [its] smoke [went up like] the smoke of a furnace & the whole [mountain] quaked greatly.

And when the trumpet sounded long, [it grew] louder & louder. Moses [spoke] & God answered [Moses] by voice. And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on top of the [mountain] & the Lord called Moses up to the top of the [mountain] & Moses went up.] 

A fire goes before Him & burns up His enemies [all around.] His lightnings, [light up] the world. The earth saw & trembled. The hills melted like wax in the [Lord's] presence. 

The heavens declare His righteousness & all the people see His glory. All [those who] serve [carved] images, [who] boast themselves of idols [are confused:] worship [the Lord God,] all you gods. 

[Exodus 20:4-5 You shall not make [for yourself] any [carved] image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth [below,] or that is in the water under the earth. 

You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them: for I, the Lord your God, Am a jealous God, visiting the [sin] of the fathers upon the children [until] the 3rd & 4th generation of [those who] hate Me.] 

Zion heard & was glad & the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of Your judgments, O Lord. For You, Lord, are high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. 

[Psalm 115:4-9 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. They have noses, but they [don't] smell. They have hands, but they [don't touch.] 

They have feet, but they [don't] walk. Neither [do] they speak through their throat. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone [who] trusts in them. O Israel, you trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield.] 

You [who] love the Lord, hate evil. He [safeguards] the [lives] of His saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is [distributed] for the righteous & gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous. At the remembrance of His holiness, give thanks.

Psalm 96:1-13 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 96:1-13            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O sing to the Lord a new song. Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord & bless His Name. [Proclaim] His Salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the heathen, His wonders among all people. 

[Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the [Red] Sea & the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night & made the sea dry land & the waters were divided. 

And the children [people] of Israel went into the midst of the se upon the dry ground. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand & on their left.] 

For the Lord is great & to be praised greatly. He is to be feared [respected] above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens. [Jeremiah 10:10-12 But the Lord is the true God. He is the Living God & an everlasting King. At His [fury] the earth shall tremble & the nations shall not be able to [withstand] His indignation. 

You shall say [this] to them, The gods that haven't made the heavens & the earth, even they shall perish from the earth & from under these heavens. He has made the earth by His power & He has established the world by His wisdom & has stretched out the heavens by His [desire.] 

Honor & majesty are before Him. Strength & beauty are in His sanctuary. [Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [See,] 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 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.] 

Give to the Lord, O you [families] of the people, [attribute to] the Lord glory & strength. [Attribute] to the Lord, the glory due to His Name. Bring an offering & come into His [courtyards.] [Show] fear [respect] before Him, all the earth. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Say among the heathen that the Lord [rules.] 

[Revelation 11:15 And the 7th Angel sounded & there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world [have] become the kingdoms of our Lord & of His Christ. And He shall [rule] forever & ever.] 

Also the world shall be established [so] that it shall not be [removed.] He shall judge the people righteously. [Hebrews 12:23 To the general assembly & the church of the Firstborn, [who] are written in heaven & to God, the Judge of all & to the spirits of just men, made perfect.] 

Let the heavens rejoice & let the earth be glad. Let the sea roar & [its] fulness [of it.] Let the field be joyful & all that is [in them.] Then all the trees of the [woods] shall rejoice before the Lord, for He comes. For He comes to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness & the people with His truth. 

[John 16:8-11 And when He [has] come, He will [show] the world [the guilt] of [their sins] & of righteousness & of judgment. Of sin, because they [didn't] believe [in] Me. Of righteousness, because I go to My Father & you shall no [longer] see Me. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.]

Psalm 95:1-11 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 95:1-11            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O come & let us sing to the Lord. Let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our Salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving & make a joyful noise to Him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God & a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth & also, the strength of the hills [are] His.

[Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge & strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth [is] removed & though the mountains [are] carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters [of it] roar & [are] troubled, the mountains shake with its swelling [tidal wave.

The sea is His & He made it. And His hands formed the dry land. [Genesis 1:9-10 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together into one place & let the dry land appear & it was so. And God called the dry land, Earth & He called the gathering together of the waters, Seas & God saw that it was good.]

O come, let us worship & bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker. [Colossians 1:13-16 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness & has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son: In Whom we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins. 

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by Him all things were created that are in heaven & that are in earth, visible & invisible, whether they [are] thrones, dominions, principalities, or powers. All things were created by Him & for Him.]

For He is our God. Today, if we hear His voice, we are the people of His pasture & the sheep of His hand. [Revelation 3:19-22 As many as I love, I [reprimand & chastise. Therefore, be zealous & repent. [Look,] I stand at the door & knock.

If any man hears My voice & [opens] the door, I will come in to him & will [dine] with him & he with Me. To him [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne. He [who has] an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

[Don't] harden your heart, [like] in the provocation & [like] in the day of temptation in the wilderness. [Numbers 20:11-12 And Moses lifted up his hand & with his rod he [struck] the rock twice & the water came out abundantly & the congregation & also their [animals] drank. 

And the Lord [spoke] to Moses & Aaron, Because you [didn't] believe Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children [people] of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this congregation into the land [that] I have given them.] 

When your [forefathers] tempted Me & tested] Me & saw My work. [Numbers 11:18-20 And you, say to the people, Sanctify yourselves [for] tomorrow & you shall eat [meat;] for you have wept in the ears of the Lord, saying, Who shall give us [meat] to eat? For it was [better for] us in Egypt. 

Therefore, the Lord will give you [meat] & you shall eat. You shall not eat 1 day, nor 2 days, 5 days, 10 days, nor 20 days. But even a whole month, until it [comes] out [of] your nostrils & it [becomes loathed by] you; because you have despised the Lord, [Who] is among you & have wept before Him, saying, Why [did] we come [forward] out of Egypt?]

I was grieved 40 long years with this generation & said, It is a people [who go astray] in their [hearts] & they haven't known My ways. Unto whom, I [swore] in My [fury] they [wouldn't] enter into My rest. 

[Numbers 14:22-24 Because all those men [who] have seen My glory & My miracles, [that] I did in Egypt & in the wilderness & have [tested] Me these 10 times & have not [paid attention to] My voice. 

Surely, they shall not see the land [that] I [swore] to their [forefathers] & neither shall any of them [who] provoked Me, see it. But My servant, Caleb, because he had another spirit with him & has followed me fully. I will bring him into the land where he went & his [descendants] shall possess it.]

Psalm 94:1-23 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 94:1-23            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord God, to Whom vengeance belongs. O God, to Whom vengeance belongs, [show] Yourself. [Isaiah 35:4 Say to [those who have] a fearful heart, Be strong & [don't be fearful.] [Look,] your God will come with vengeance, even God with a [repayment.] He will come & save you.]

[Rise up,] You judge of the earth. [Deliver] a reward to the proud. [Revelation 22:12-15  And [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give every man according [to] his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End & the First & the Last.

Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers, [sexual traffickers,] murderers & idolaters & [whoever invents & loves to tell lies.]

How long shall the wicked triumph? How long, Lord? How long shall they utter & speak [disrespectful] things? And all the workers of iniquity boast [about] themselves? 

[Psalm 31:17-18 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon You. Let the wicked be ashamed & let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence, [that] speak [dreadful] things, proudly & [disrespectfully] against the righteous.]

They break Your people [into] pieces, O Lord & afflict Your heritage. They slay the widow & the stranger & murder the fatherless. [Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you [for] judgment. 

And I will be a swift witness against the: sorcerers, adulterers, false [witnesses] & against those [who] oppress the [laborer] in his wages, the widow & the fatherless & [leads astray] the stranger from his [rights] & [don't] fear [respect] Me, says the Lord of Hosts.]

[Still] they say, The Lord shall not see & neither shall the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] regard it. When will you fools & [senseless] among the people understand & be wise? He, [Who positioned] the ear, shall He not hear? He, [Who] formed the eye, shall He not see? 

[Psalm 115:4-9 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. They have noses, but they [don't] smell. They have hands, but they [don't touch.] They have feet, but they [can't] walk.

Neither can they speak through their throat. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them, so is everyone who trusts in them. O Israel, trust in the Lord. He is [your] help & [your] shield.]

He, [Who disciplines] the heathen, shall He not correct? He, [who] teaches man knowledge, shall He not know? The Lord knows the thoughts of man & that they are [what is] vanity. 

Blessed is the man whom You [chastise,] O Lord & teach him out of Your Law, [so] that You may give him [relief] from the days of adversity, until the pit [is dug] for the wicked. 

[Hebrews 12:6-7 For the Lord [chastises,] whom He loves & [punishes] every son whom He receives. If you endure [chastising,] God deals with you [like] sons; for what son is he, whom the father [doesn't chastise?] 

For the Lord won't [abandon] His people, neither will he forsake His inheritance. But [justice] shall return to righteousness. And all the upright in heart shall follow it. Who will rise up for me against [those who do] evil? Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

[If it hadn't been for] the Lord, my help, my soul almost [would have] dwelt in silence. When I said, My foot [is slipping,] Your mercy, O Lord, held me up. In the multitude of my [inner] thoughts, Your [comforting] delights my soul. Shall [those on] the [sinful] throne, [who] by a law [build up harmful behavior,] have fellowship with You? 

They gather themselves together against the [lives] of the righteous & condemn the innocent [of bloodshed.] But the Lord is my defense & my God is the Rock of my refuge. And He shall bring upon them their own [sin] & shall cut them off in their own wickedness. [Yes,] the Lord our God shall cut them off.

[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image & receives the mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out, without mixture into the cup of His indignation & he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels & in the presence of the Lamb.]

Psalm 93:1-5 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 93:1-5            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [rules] & He is clothed with majesty & strength, [with which] He [has] girded Himself. Also, the world is [established, so] it can't be moved. 

[Revelation 11:15 And the 7th Angel sounded & there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world [have] become the kingdoms of the Lord & of His Christ & He shall [rule] forever & ever.]

Of old, Your throne is established. You are from everlasting. [1 John 1:1-3 That Which was from the Beginning, Which we have heard, Which we have seen with our eyes, Which we have looked upon & our hands have handled, of the Word of Life. 

(For the Life was [made visible] & we have seen it & [testify] & [show] to you, that Eternal Life, Which was with the Father & was made [apparent] to us.) That Which we have seen & heard, we declare to you, [so] you may also have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father & with His Son, Jesus Christ.] 

The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves. [Isaiah 17:12-13 Woe to the multitude of many people, [who] make noise like the noise of the seas. And to the rushing of nations that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters! 

The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them & they shall flee far [away] & shall be chased like the [mountain's stubble] before the wind & like a rolling thing before the [tornado.] 

The Lord on High is mightier than the noise of many waters, [yes,] than the mighty waves of the sea. Your Testimonies are very [impossible to doubt.] Holiness [adorns] Your house, O Lord, forever.
