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 24:1-27 Woe to the Bloody City Whose Slain Are in the Pot

 

Woe to the Bloody City Whose Slain Are in the Pot

Ezekiel 24:1-27             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

Again, [on] the 10th day, [of] the 10th month, [during] the 9th year, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, you, write [down] the name of the day, even of this same day: [because] [Babylon's] king, set himself against Jerusalem, this same day.

[Jeremiah 39:1 In the 10th month, [during] the 9th year of Zedekiah, [Judah's] king, Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, & all his army came against Jerusalem & [surrounded] it.] 

And [tell] a parable to the rebellious house & say to them, The Lord God says [this; Put] on a pot & set it on [the fire in the fireplace] & also pour water into it.  Gather the pieces [of meat] into it, even every good piece, the thigh & the shoulder. Fill it with the [best] bones. 

Take the [best] of the flock & also burn the bones under it & make it boil well. And let them [boil] the bones of it, [in the pot.] [For this reason,] The Lord God says [this;] Woe, [a.k.a. Distress,] to the bloody city & to the pot, whose scum is [in it.] And whose scum [hasn't] gone out of it.

Bring it out piece by piece & [don't] let [any] lot fall upon it. [Obad 11 [On] the day that you stood on the other side & [on] the day that the strangers carried his forces away captive & the foreigners entered into his gates & cast lots upon Jerusalem, & even you [were like] one of them.]

For her blood, [a.k.a. Jerusalem's blood,] is in the midst of her. She [put] it upon the top of a rock & she [didn't] pour it out upon the ground to cover it with [dirt.] I have [put] her blood upon the top of a rock, [so] that it shouldn't be covered [up.] [So,] that it might cause fury to: [arise] & take vengeance.

Therefore, The Lord God says [this;] Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile [of bones] for [the] fire [large.] [Ezekiel 22:2-3 Now, will you judge, Son of man, will you judge the bloody city?

[Yes,] you shall [declare to] her all her abominations. Then, you [shall] say, The Lord God says [this;] The city [sheds] blood in [its] midst, & makes idols against [her best interests,] to defile herself, [so] that her time may come.]

Heap on wood & [start] the fire, [to cook the meat] & spice it well & let the bones be burned. Then, [put] it upon the coals [of it,] empty, [so] that the brass of it may be hot & burn & all [its] filthiness [of it] may be [melted] in it, [so] that the scum of it may be [removed.] [Ezekiel 22:15 And I will scatter you among the heathen & [distribute] you in the countries & will [remove] your filthiness out of you.]

She has [tired] herself with lies & her [large] [amount of] scum [didn't go out]

of her & her scum shall be in the fire. In your filthiness, is lewdness, [a.k.a. lustfulness,] because I have [cleansed] you, [but] you [weren't cleansed.] 

You shall not be [cleansed] from your filthiness anymore, [until] I have caused My fury to rest upon you. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery & blood is [on] their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols. And 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 [defiled] My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day into My sanctuary to [defile] it. And, [look,] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.] 

I, the Lord, have spoken it & it shall [happen,] & I will do it. I won't [withdraw] & neither will I spare. Neither will I [relent.] They shall judge you, according to your ways & [actions,] says the Lord God. 

Also, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, [look,] I take the desire of your eyes from you with a stroke. [Still,] you shall neither mourn, nor weep. Neither shall your tears run down. [Refuse] to cry & [don't mourn] for the dead. 

[Tie] upon you, the [turban on] your head & put on your shoes upon your feet. And [don't] cover your lips & [don't] eat the bread of men. So, I [spoke] to the people in the morning. And at [evening,] my wife died. And in the morning, I did [like] I was commanded. 

And the people said to me, Won't you tell us what these things [mean] to us, that you [do this?] [Zechariah 10:6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah & I will save the house of Joseph. And I will [return] them again, to place them. For I have mercy upon them, & they shall be as though I hadn't cast them off. For I Am the Lord their God & will hear them.] 

Then, the Word of the Lord came to me & I answered them, saying, The Lord God says [this;] Speak to the house of Israel, [Look,] I will [defile] My sanctuary, the [excellence] of your strength. The desire of your eyes; & [what] your soul pities. And your sons & daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword. 

[Ezekiel 28:7 Therefore, [look,] I will bring strangers upon you, the terrible of the nations. And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom & they shall defile your [intelligence.]

And you shall do [like] I have done. You shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. And your [turbans] shall be upon your heads & your shoes upon your feet. You shall not mourn, nor weep; but you shall pine away, [a.k.a. wither away,] for your [sins] & mourn one [with] another. 

[Leviticus 26:39 And [those who] are left of you, shall pine away in their [sinfulness,] & also in your [forefathers' sins,] they shall pine away in your enemies' lands.]

Ezekiel is a sign to you [like this:] you shall do according to all that he has done. And when this [happens,] you shall know that I Am the Lord God. [Luke 11:29-32 And when the people were [thickly] gathered together, He began to say, This is an evil generation. They seek a sign & there shall be no sign given [to] it, but the sign of [Jonah,] the prophet. 

For [like Jonah] was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of Man be to this generation. The queen of the South shall rise up in judgment with the men of this generation & condemn them. For she came from the [furthest] parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. 

And [look,] [One] greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh shall rise up in judgment [against] this generation & shall condemn it. For [Nineveh] repented at the preaching of [Jonah,] & [look,] [One] greater than [Jonah] is here.] 

Also, you, Son of man, [shouldn't] it be [on] the day when I take their strength from them & the joy of their glory, their sons & daughters, the desire of their eyes & [what] they [focus] their minds upon, that he, [who] escapes [on] that day, shall come to you, to [make] you hear it with your ears? 

[On] that day, your mouth shall be opened to him, [who has] escaped & you shall speak & no [longer] be [mute.] And you shall be a sign to them, & they shall know that I Am the Lord. 

[Ezekiel 33:22 Now, before he who had escaped came, the hand of the Lord was upon me in the evening, & had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning & my mouth was opened. And I was no [longer mute.]
