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 28:1-17 Jeremiah is Released from His Yoke

 

Jeremiah is Released from His Yoke

Jeremiah 28:1-17                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

And it [happened] the same year, in the beginning of the [rule] of Zedekiah, [Judah's] king, in the 5th month [of] the 4th year, that the prophet, Hananiah, [Azur's] son, [who] was [from] Gibeon, [spoke] to me in the [Lord's] house, in the presence of the priests & all the people. 

[Hananiah said,] The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, speaks [this,] saying, I have broken the yoke, [a.k.a. stocks or oppression] of [Babylon's] king. Within 2 full years, I will bring again into this place all the vessels [from] the [Lord's] house, that Nebuchadnezzar [had taken] away from this place & carried them to Babylon.  

And I will again bring to this place, Jeconiah, [a.k.a. Coniah or Jehoiachin,] the son of Jehoiakim, [Judah's] king, with all the captives of Judah, [who] went into Babylon, says the Lord. For I will break the yoke of [Babylon's] king. Then, the prophet, Jeremiah, said to the prophet, Hananiah, in the presence of the priests & all the people, [who] stood in the [Lord's] house. 

Even the prophet, Jeremiah said, Amen: [May] the Lord do so & the Lord [performs] your words, [that] you have prophesied, to bring again the vessels [from] the [Lord's] house & all [who are] carried away captive, from Babylon, into this place. [However,] you now [listen to] this Word, that I speak in your ears & in the ears of all the people. 

The prophets, [who] have been before me & before you of old, prophesied both against: many countries & [large] kingdoms, [about:] war, [disaster] & pestilence. When the word of the prophet, [who] prophesied of peace, shall [happen,] then the prophet shall be known, that the Lord has truly sent him. 

Then, Hananiah, the prophet, took the yoke from off the prophet, Jeremiah's neck & [broke] it. And Hananiah [spoke] in the presence of all the people, saying, The Lord says [this,] Even [like this,] I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king, [off] from the [necks] of all nations within the space of 2 full years.   

And the prophet, Jeremiah, went [on] his way. After the prophet, Hananiah, had broken the yoke off from the neck of Jeremiah, then, the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, the prophet, saying, Go & tell Hananiah, saying, The Lord says [this;] You have broken the yokes of wood; but you [have made in their place,] yokes of iron for them. 

For the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this;] I have put a yoke of iron upon the [necks] of all these nations, [so] that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king & they shall serve him. And I have also given him the [animals] of the field. 

Then, the prophet, Jereiamiah, said to Hananiah, the prophet, Now, hear [this:] Hananiah; The Lord hasn't sent you; but you make this people trust in a lie. Therefore, the Lord says [this; Look,] I will cast you [out,] from off the [surface] of the earth. This year you shall die, because you have taught rebellion against the Lord. So, Hananiah, the prophet, died the same year in the 7th month.
