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 15:1-8 The Inhabitants of Jerusalem Are Compared to Wood from Trees

 

The Inhabitants of Jerusalem Are Compared to Wood from Trees

Ezekiel 15:1-8             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

And the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, [why] is the [wood of the] vine tree more [significant] than [the wood from] any [other] tree, or than a branch, [that] is among the trees of the forest? Shall [its] wood be taken [from it] to do any work?

Or will men [take from it] & make [pegs from] it to hang any [handled] vessel [on it?] [Look, the wood] is [thrown] into the fire for fuel. The fire devours both ends of it & [its middle] of it is burned. Is it [good] for any work? 

[Look,] when it was whole, it wasn't [good] for [any] work. How much less shall it [still] be [good] for any work, when the fire has devoured it & it's burned? [Isaiah 44:16-17 He burns part [of it] in the fire & with part [of it,] he eats [meat] & he [turns a spit for] roasting [a] roast & is satisfied. 

[Still,] he warms himself & says, Aha, I have [watched] the fire & I'm warm. And the [rest of it,] he makes a god, even his [carved] image. He falls down to it, worships it & prays to it & says, Deliver me, for you are my god.] 

The Lord God says [this;] Therefore, [like] the [wood from] the vine tree [is] among the trees of the forest, [that] I have [set aside as] fuel for the fire, I [also] will [do the same to] the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will set My face against them & they shall go out from one fire & another fire shall devour them.

And you shall know that I Am the Lord, when I set My face against them. [Ezekiel 5:11 The Lord God says; Surely as I Live, [for this reason,] I will therefore also [reduce] you & neither shall [My] eye spare, [nor] will I have any pity, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things & abominations.]

And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, says the Lord God. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery & blood is [on] their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols & have also caused their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them, for [idols.] 

[Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They have defiled My sanctuary & [on] the same day, have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day into My sanctuary to profane it. And, [look,] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.]
