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 54:1-17 The Lord God Says, I Will Gather You With Great Mercy

 

The Lord God Says, I Will Gather You With Great Mercy

Isaiah 54:1-17                     The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Sing, O barren, you, [who can’t] bear [children.] Break [out] into singing & cry aloud, you, [who] didn’t [have labor pains] with [a] child. For more are the children of the [childless,] than the children of the married wife, says the Lord. Enlarge the place [for] your tent & let them stretch [out] the curtains of your [tent] [homes.] 

[Don’t hold back, but] lengthen your cords & strengthen your stakes. For you shall break [out] on the right hand [side] & on the left. And your [descendents] shall inherit the [orphaned children of the] Gentiles & make the [abandoned] cities to be inhabited. 

[Isaiah 14:1-2 For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob & will yet choose Israel & [put] them in their own land. And the [foreigners] shall be joined with them & they shall [cling] to the house of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] 

And the people shall take them & bring them to their place. And the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the Lord, for servants & handmaids. And they shall take them [captive,] [who had held them as] captives & shall rule over their oppressors.]

[Don’t] fear; for you shall not be ashamed & neither shall you be [disgraced.] For you shall forget the shame of your youth & shall not remember the [disgrace] of your widowhood anymore. For your Maker is your Husband. The Lord of Hosts is His Name & your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. 

He shall be called the God of the whole earth. For the Lord has called you [like] a woman [abandoned, a young] wife, grieved in spirit, when you were refused, says your God. For a [little] moment, I have [abandoned] you; but I will gather you with great mercies, says your Lord & your Redeemer. In a little [anger] I hid My face from you for a moment; but I will have everlasting kindness & mercy on you, says the Lord your Redeemer. 

For this is [like] the waters of Noah, to Me. For [like] I have sworn that the waters of Noah [would] no [longer cover] the earth; [also] I have sworn that I wouldn’t be [angry] with you, nor [chastise] you. 

For the mountains shall depart & the hills [shall] be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the Covenant of My peace be removed, says the Lord, [Who] has mercy on you. 

O you afflicted & tossed with [storms] & not comforted, [watch,] I will lay your stones with [pretty] colors & lay your foundations with sapphires. [Revelation 21:18-20 And the [construction] of the wall of it was of jasper & the city was pure gold, [similar] to clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were [decorated] with all [types] of precious stones. 

The 1st foundation was jasper; the 2nd sapphire; the 3rd, chalcedony; the 4th, an emerald; the 5th, sardonyx; the 6th, sardis; the 7th, chrysolyte, [a.k.a. chrysoprase;] the 8th, beryl; the 9th, a topaz; the 10th, chrysoprasus, [a.k.a. chrysoprase;] the 11th, a jacinth; the 12th, an amethyst.] 

And I will make your windows [from] agates, [a.k.a. rubies] & your gates of carbuncles, [a.k.a. crystal] & [precious] stones [around] all your borders. *And all your children shall be taught [about] the Lord. And the peace of your children shall be great. You shall be established in righteousness & you shall be far from oppression. 

For you shall not fear: from terror; for it shall not come near you. [Look,] they shall surely gather together, but not by Me & [whoever] shall gather together against you, shall fall for your sake. 

[See,] I have created the [blacksmith, who] blows the coals in the fire & brings [out a weapon from] his work. and I have created the waster to destroy. No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper. And you shall condemn every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment. 

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. And their righteousness is of Me, says the Lord. [Isaiah 17:13-14 The nations shall [roar] like the [roaring] of many waters: but God shall rebuke them & they shall flee far [away] & shall be chased like the stubble in front of] the [mountain’s] wind. 

And like a rolling thing, [in front of a tornado.] And [watch,] at [evening time] trouble & before the morning, [he is no more.] This is the portion [for those who plunder] us & the lot [for those who] rob us.]
