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 12:1-28 Ezekiel is the Sign that Models What the Prince in Israel is to Do

 

Ezekiel is the Sign that Models What the Prince in Israel is to Do

Ezekiel 12:1-28            The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word of the Lord also came to me, saying, Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, [a.k.a. family, who] have eyes to see, [but don't] see. They have ears to hear & [don't] hear. For they are a rebellious house. 

[Mark 4:11-12 And He said to them, It is given unto you to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But [to those who] are without, all these things are done in parables: *That seeing, they may see & not [recognize] & hearing, they may hear, & not understand; lest at any time, they should be converted & their sins should be forgiven them.]

Therefore, you Son of man, prepare your stuff, [a.k.a. things,] for [moving] & [move by day in their sight. And you shall [move] from your place to another place in their sight. It may be, they will consider [this,] [although] they [are] a rebellious house.

Then, you shall bring [out] your stuff by day in their sight, [like things] for [going into captivity.] And you shall go [out] at [evening] in their sight, [like those who] go into captivity. You, dig through the wall in their sight & carry out [through it.] You shall [carry] it upon your shoulders in their sight & carry it [out] in the twilight. 

You shall cover your face, [so] that you [don't] see the ground. For I have [put] you for a sign to the house of Israel. And I did as I was commanded. I brought [out] my stuff by day, [like] stuff for captivity. And in the [evening,] I [dug] through the wall with [my] hand.

I brought it [out] in the twilight & I [carried] it upon my shoulder in their sight. And the Word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying, Son of man, hasn't the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What [are] you [doing?] 

You, say to them, The Lord God says [this;] This burden, [a.k.a. a vision, is about] the prince in Jerusalem & all the house of Israel, [who] are among them. Say, I am your sign. Like [what] I have done, [also] it shall be done to them. They shall [move] & go into captivity. 

[2 Kings 25:4-5 And the city was broken up & all the men of war fled by night [on] the [path by] the gate between 2 walls, which is by the King's Garden. (Now, the Chaldees, [a.k.a. Chaldeans,] were [surrounded] against the city [all around it.]) 

And the king went [on] the [road] toward the plain. And the [Chaldean] army, pursued after the king & overtook him in the Plains of Jericho. And all his army were scattered from him.]

And the prince, [who] is among them, shall [carry] upon his shoulder in the twilight & shall go [out.] They shall dig through the wall to carry out [through it.] He shall cover his face, [so] that he [doesn't] see the ground with his eyes. Also, I will spread My net upon him & he shall be taken in My snare. 

And I will bring him to Babylon, to the land of the Chaldeans. [Still,] he shall not see it, [although] he shall die there. [Ezekiel 17:20 And I will spread My net upon him & he shall be [captured] in My snare. And I will bring him to Babylon & will plead with him there for his [sins] that he has trespassed against Me.] 

And I will scatter all [those who] are [around] him to help him & his [troops,] toward every wind. And I will draw out the sword after them. [Ezekiel 5:11-12 The Lord God says; As I Live, [for this reason] I will also [reduce] you & neither shall [My] eyes spare, [nor] will I have pity: because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things & all your abominations. 

Surely, a third [portion] of you shall die & be consumed [by:] pestilence & famine in the midst of you. And a third [portion] shall fall by the sword [all around] you. And I will scatter a third [portion] into all the winds & I will draw out a sword after them.] 

And they shall know that I Am the Lord, when I shall scatter them among the nations & disperse them in the countries. But I will leave a few of [those] men from: the sword; famine & the pestilence, [so] that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen, [where] they [go.] 

And they shall know that I Am the Lord. [Ezekiel 6:8-10 [Still] I will leave [some remaining, so] that you may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when you [are] scattered through the countries. And [those] of you [who] escape shall remember Me among the nations, [where] they shall be carried [captive.] 

Because I am broken with your [unfaithful adulterous] heart, [that] has departed from Me & with their eyes [like an unfaithful harlot,] that go after their idols. And they shall loathe themselves for [all] the [evil that] they have committed [by] all their abominations.]

[Also,] the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, eat your bread with [shaking] & drink your water with trembling & with carefulness. And say to the people of the land, The Lord God says [this about] the inhabitants of Jerusalem & the land of Israel. 

They shall [carefully] eat their bread & drink their water with astonishment, [because] her land may [become] desolate from all that's [in it,] because of the violence of all [those who] dwell [there.] And the cities that are [lived in,] shall [become wastelands] & the land shall be desolate.

And you shall know that I Am the Lord. And the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, what is that proverb that you have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged & every vision [fails?] 

Therefore, tell them, The Lord God says [this;] I will make this proverb to [stop] & they shall no [longer] use it as a proverb in Israel. But say to them, The days are at hand & the [accomplishment] of every vision. [Zephaniah 1:14 The great day of the Lord is near. It is near & [hurries speedily.] Even the mighty men shall cry [out] there bitterly [at] the [sound] of the day of the Lord.]

For there shall no [longer] be any vain, [a.k.a. worthless visions,] nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. For I Am the Lord. I will speak & the Word that I shall speak & [it] shall [happen.] 

It shall no [longer] be prolonged. For in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the Word & will [accomplish] it, says the Lord God. [Luke 21:33 Heaven & earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away.]

Again, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, [see those from] the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many days [ahead] & he prophesies of the times that are far [in the future.] 

Therefore, say to them, The Lord God says [this;] None of My Words shall be prolonged anymore, but the Word [that] I have spoken shall be done, says the Lord God. 

[Jeremiah 4:7 The lion [has] come up from his thicket & the [Gentiles'] destroyer is on his way. He [has] gone [out] from his place to make your land desolate & your cities shall be [wastelands,] without [inhabitants.]
