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.

Ezekiel 3:1-27 God Continues to Talk to Ezekiel in His Vision

 

God Continues to Talk to Ezekiel in His Vision

Ezekiel 3:1-27             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

[Also,] He said to me, Son of man, eat [what] you find. Eat this roll, [a.k.a. Scroll or book,] & go speak to the house, [a.k.a. family] of Israel. So, I opened my mouth & He caused me to earth that [scroll.] 

And He said to me, Son of man, eat & cause your [stomach] to fill your [intestines] with this [scroll,] that I give you. Then, I [ate] it & it was in my mouth [like] honey for sweetness. 

And He said to me, Son of man, go & get [yourself] to the house of Israel & speak My Words to them. For you aren't sent to a people [with unfamiliar] speech & a hard language, but to the house of Israel. Not to many people of a strange speech & [difficult] language, whose words you can't understand.

Surely, [if] I had sent you to them, they would have [paid attention] to you. But the house of Israel won't [pay attention] to you; for they won't [pay attention] to Me. [John 15:20-21 Remember the Word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. 

If they have kept My saying, they will keep yours, also. But all these things, they will do to you for My Name's sake, because they [don't] know Him, [Who] sent Me.] 

For all the house of Israel are [disrespectful & stubborn.] [Look,] I have made your face strong against their faces & your forehead strong against their foreheads. I have made your forehead as [unyielding,] harder than flint. 

[Don't] fear them & neither be [discouraged] at their looks, [although] they are a rebellious house. [Ezekiel 2:6 And you, Son of man, [don't] be afraid of them. Neither be afraid of their words, [even if:] [sticker bushes] & thorns [are] with you & you dwell among scorpions. [Don't] be afraid of their words, nor be [discouraged] at their looks, [although] they are a rebellious house.] 

[Additionally,] He said to me, Son of man, Hear with your ears & receive in your heart, all My Words that I shall speak to you. And go get [yourself] to [those from] captivity, to the children of your people & speak to them & tell them, The Lord God says [these things;] whether they will [listen,] or whether they will [refuse.]

Then, the Spirit took me up [& transported me] & I heard behind me a voice [like] a great rushing, saying, Blessed [is] the glory of the Lord from His place. [Revelations 1:15 And His feet [were similar] to fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace & His voice [like] the sound of many waters.]

I also heard the [sound] of the living [creatures'] wings, that touched one [against] another & the noise of wheels over [next to] them; & a noise of a great [commotion.]

[Ezekiel 1:24 And when they went, I heard the [sound] of their wings, like the noise of [large] waters, [like] the voice of the Almighty, [speaking, like] the noise of an [army.] And when [the living creatures] stood, they [put] down their wings.] 

So the Spirit lifted me up & took me away & I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the [Lord's] hand was strong upon me. Then, I came to [those from] the captivity, [who] dwelt by the River of Chebar, [a.k.a. Kebar,] at Tel Abib, [a.k.a. Tel Aviv.] 

And I sat where they sat & remained there astonished among them 7 days. [Job 2:13 So, they sat down with him upon the ground 7 days & nights & [no one spoke] a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.]

And it [happened after] 7 days, that the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, I have made you a watchman to [guard] the house of Israel. Therefore, hear the Word [from] My mouth & give them [the] warning from Me. 

When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die & you [don't] give him [a] warning, norspeak to warn the wicked from his wicked [ways,] to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his [sins.] But I will require his blood at your hand. [John 8:24-26 Therefore, I said this to you, You shall die in your [own] sins: for if you [don't] believe that I Am He, you shall die in your sins.

Then, they said to Him, Who are You? And Jesus [said] to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning. I have many things to say & to judge you: but He, [Who] sent Me is True. And I speak to the world those things, [that] I have heard [from] Him.]

Yet, if you warn the wicked & he [doesn't] turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked [ways,] he shall die in his [sins,] but you have delivered your [life.] Again, when I lay a stumbling block before a righteous man [& he] [turns] from his righteousness & [commits] iniquity, he shall die: because you haven't given him [a] warning. 

He shall die in his sin & his righteousness, [that] he has [previously] done, shall not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand. [However,] if you warn the righteous man, [so] that the righteous [doesn't] sin, he shall surely live, because he [has been] warned. Also, you have delivered your [life.] 

And the hand of the Lord was there upon me & He said to me, Arise & go [out] into the plain & I will talk with you there. Then, I arose & went [out] into the plain & [saw] the glory of the Lord, [standing] there, [like] the glory, [that] I saw by the River of Chebar & fell on my face. 

Then, the Spirit entered into me & [put] me upon my feet & [spoke] with me. And said to me, Go & shut yourself [up] within your house. But you, O Son of man, [look,] they shall put bands, [a.k.a. ropes] upon you & shall [tie] you with them & you shall not go out among them.

And I will make your tongue [cling] to the roof of your mouth, [so] that you shall be [mute] & shall not be a [disgrace] to them: for they are a rebellious house, [a.k.a. family.]  

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth & you shall say to them, The Lord God says [this;] He, [who] hears, let him hear & he, [who refuses,] let him [refuse:] for they are a rebellious house.
