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 9:1-11 The Man in the Linen with an Inkhorn Puts a Mark on Some Heads

 

The Man in the Linen with an Inkhorn Puts a Mark on Some Heads

Ezekiel 9:1-11             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

He also cried [out] in [my] ears, [Let those who are in] charge over the city draw [close,] even every man [with] his [weapons for destruction] in his hand. And [I] [saw,] 6 men [come] from the [road] of the Higher Gate, [facing] North & every man [had] [slaughtering weapons] in his hand. 

And one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side. And they went in & stood beside the [brass] altar. And the glory of the God of Israel [had] gone from the cherub, [where] He was & [went] to the threshold of the [Lord's] house. 

[Exodus 25:20-22 And the cherubims shall stretch [out] their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings & their faces shall look [at] one another. The [cherubims'] faces shall be toward the mercy seat. 

And you shall put the mercy above, upon the Ark. And you shall put the Testimony, [a.k.a. The 10 Commandments,] that I shall give you, in the Ark. And I will meet with you there. 

And I will [talk] with you from above the mercy seat, from between the 2 cherubims, which are upon the Ark of the Testimony, [with] all things [that] I will give you [as commandments] to the children [people] of Israel.] 

And He called to the man clothed with linen, [who] had the writer's inkhorn by his side. [Ezekiel 10:4 Then, the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub & stood over the threshold of the [Lord's] house. And the house was filled with the cloud & the court was full of the brightness of the Lord's glory.]

And the Lord said to him, Go through the midst of the city & through Jerusalem & [put] a mark upon the foreheads of the men, [who] sigh [in disgust] & cry [out, because] of all the abominations that [are] done in the midst [of it.] 

And He said to the others [within my] hearing, You go after him, through the city & [strike] him & [don't] let your eye spare & neither [shall] you have pity. [Totally kill both:] old; young; [maidens;] little children & women. But [don't] come near any man upon whom [has] the mark & begin at My sanctuary. 

Then, they began [with] the [elders, who] were [in front of] the [Lord's] house. And He said to them, You go [out] & defile the [temple] & fill the court with the [dead.] And they went [out] & [killed] in the city. 

And it [happened,] while they were slaying them, & I was left, that I fell upon my face & cried [out] & said, Ah, Lord God! Will You destroy all [those remaining from] Israel, [by] Your pouring out Your fury upon Jerusalem? 

Then, He said to me, The [sinfulness] of the house of Israel & Judah, is [exceedingly large,] & the land is full of [bloodshed,] & the city is full of [wickedness.] For they say, The Lord has [abandoned] the earth & [doesn't see] [what we do.]

[2 Kings 22:16-17 The Lord says [this, Look,] I will bring [calamity] upon this place & upon [its residents,] even all the Words of the Book which [Judah's] king has read. 

Because they have [abandoned] Me & have burned incense to other gods, [so] that they might provoke Me to anger, with all the works [made by] their hands. Therefore, My wrath shall [grow] against this place & shall not be [put out.]

And as for Me, [My] eye shall not spare & neither will I have pity, but I will [repay] their [ways]  upon their head. [Ezekiel 11:21 But as for [those] whose heart [follows] after the heart of their detestable things & their abominations, I will [repay] their [ways] upon their own heads, says the Lord God.] 

And [I] [saw,] the man clothed with linen, [who] had the inkhorn by his side, [who] had reported [about] the matter, saying, I have done as You have commanded me.
