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 10:1-22 God Told the Man in Linen to Scatter Coals Over the City

 

God Told the Man in Linen to Scatter Coals Over the City

Ezekiel 10:1-22                     The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]     

Then, I looked & [saw] in the firmament, [a.k.a. expanse,] the [resemblance] of a throne, as [if] it were a sapphire stone, that was over the [heads] of the cherubims, [a.k.a. cherubs, seraphims, living creatures, or angels.] 

And He [spoke] to the man clothed with linen & said, Go in between the wheels, [that are] under the cherub & fill your hand with coals [from the] fire between the cherubims & scatter them over the city. And he went [out, within] my sight. 

[Revelation 8:5 And the Angel took the [incense] censer & filled it with fire [from] the altar & cast it to the earth. And there were voices, [thundering, lightning] & an earthquake.]

Now, the cherubims stood on the right side of the [Lord's] house, [a.k.a. temple.] When the man went in, the cloud filled the inner court. [Revelation 8:3-4 And another Angel came & stood at the altar, having a golden censer. 

And much incense was given to him there, [so] that he [could] offer it with the prayers of all the saints, upon the golden altar that was [in front of] the throne. And the smoke [from] the incense, with the prayers of the saints, [went] up before God, [from the censer in] the Angel's hand.]

Then, the glory of the Lord went up from [above] the cherub & [went] over the threshold of the [Lord's] house. And the [temple] was filled with the cloud & the court was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory. 

[1 Kings 8:10-11 And it [happened,] when the priests [had] come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the [Lord's] house, [so] that the priests couldn't stand to minister, because of the cloud. For the glory of the Lord had filled the [Lord's] house.]

And the sound of the wings of the [cherubims] was heard even to the outer [courtyard like] the voice of the Almighty God, when He speaks. [Psalm 29:3-4 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. The God of glory thunders & the Lord is upon many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful & the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.] 

And it [happened,] that when He had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from [the altar] between the wheels, [that is] between the [2] cherubims. 

[1 Kings 8:6-7 And the priests brought in the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, to [its] place, into the oracle of the house, to the Most Holy Place, [a.k.a. the Holy of Holies, or the Sanctuary,] even under the wings of the cherubims. For the [2] cherubims spread [out] their 2 wings over the place of the Ark. And the cherubims covered the Ark & the [poles of it from] above [the Ark.] 

Then, [the man,] went in & stood beside the wheels. And one cherub stretched [out] his hand [in the middle] between the [2] cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims & took [some of it] & put it into the hands [of the man] clothed with linen: who took it & went out. 

And the [shape] of a man's hand appeared under their wings [of] the cherubims. [Ezekiel 1:8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on the sides [of the] 4. And they [all] 4 had their faces & their wings.] 

And when I looked & [saw] the 4 wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub & another wheel by another cherub. And the appearance of the wheels was the color of a beryl stone. And as for their [appearance, the] 4 had [looked alike,] as if a wheel had been in the [middle] of a wheel. 

When they went, they went [in 1 of their 4 directions] & they [didn't] turn as they went, but followed to the place [where their] head looked. They [didn't] turn as they went. And their whole body, backs, hands, wings & the wheels, were full of eyes [all around,] even the wheels that [the] 4 [cherubims] had. 

As for the wheels, [within] my hearing, it was cried [out] to them, O Wheel. And [each of them] had 4 faces. The 1st face was the face of a cherub. The 2nd face was the face of a man. The 3rd face [was] the face of a lion. And the 4th face, the face of an eagle. 

And the cherubims were lifted up. [These are] the living [creatures] that I saw by the River of Chebar, [a.k.a. Kebar River.] [Ezekiel 1:5-6 Also, out of the midst [of it] came the likeness of 4 living creatures. And their appearance was this; they had the [resemblance to] a man. And everyone had 4 faces & everyone had 4 wings.]

And when the cherubims went, the wheel went [next to] them. And when the cherubims lifted up their wings to [rise] up from the earth, the same wheels also [didn't turn] from beside them. [Ezekiel 1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went [next to] them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.]

When [the cherubims] stood, these [wheels] stood. And when they were lifted up, these [wheels] lifted up themselves, also. For the spirit of the living [creatures] was in them. [Ezekiel 1:19-20 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went [next to] them. 

And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. [Wherever] the spirit [wanted] to go, they went [there.] And [their] wheels were lifted up [together next to] them. For the spirit of the living [creatures] was [within] the wheels.] 

Then, the glory of the Lord [left] from the threshold of the [Lord's] house & [went above] the cherubims. And the cherubims lifted up their wings & [rose] up, [within] my sight. When they went out, the wheels also were [next to] them. 

And everyone stood at the door of the East Gate of the [Lord's] house. And the glory of the God of Israel was above, over them. [These are] the living [creatures] that I saw [beneath] the God of Israel, by the River of Chebar & I knew that they were cherubims.

Everyone [of the 4] had 4 faces [each.] And everyone [had] 4 wings. And the [resemblance of a man's] hands was under their wings. And the [resemblance] of their faces, [were] the same faces, which I saw by the River of Chebar. Their appearances & they, themselves went. Everyone went straight forward.
