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.

Daniel 5:1-31 Nebuchadnezzar's Son, Belshazzer, Makes a Large Feast

 

Nebuchadnezzar's Son, Belshazzer, Makes a Large Feast

Daniel 5:1-31                  The Book of Daniel [in Smaller Chunks]

Belshazzar, the [king's] [son,] made a [large] feast [for] a 1,000 of his lords & drank wine [in front of] the 1,000. 

[While] he tasted the wine, Belshazzar commanded [them] to bring the golden & silver vessels, [so] that the king & his: princes; wives, & [mistresses,] might drink [from these,] which his father, Nebuchadnezzar, that taken out of the [Lord's] temple [that] was in Jerusalem. [2 Chronicles 26:7 Nebuchadnezzar also carried [away] the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon & put them in his temple in Babylon.] 

Then, they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of [God's] house, [that] was [in] Jerusalem; & the king & his: princes; wives & [mistresses] drank [from] them. They drank wine & praised the gods [made] of: gold; silver; brass; iron; wood; & stone. 

[Revelation 9:20-21 And the rest of the men, [who] weren't killed by these plagues, [still didn't repent] of the works [made by] their hands, that they shouldn't worship [demons] & idols of gold; silver, brass, stone; & wood, [that] can neither see, nor hear, nor walk. Neither [did] they [repent] of their murders, nor their sorceries, nor their fornication, [a.k.a. infidelity,] nor their thefts.] 

[During] the same hour, fingers of a man's hand came [out] & wrote upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, [across] from the candlestick. And the king saw part of the hand that wrote. 

Then, the king's [expression] changed & his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his [hips] were [loosened] & his knees [knocked] against one another. The king cried aloud to bring in the: astrologers; Chaldeans, [a.k.a. Babylonians,] & soothsayers, [a.k.a. fortune tellers or psychics.] 

And the king [spoke] & said to the wise men of Babylon, [Whoever] shall read this writing & [declare its] interpretation to me, shall be clothed with scarlet & have a chain of gold [around] his neck, & shall be the 3rd ruler in the kingdom. 

Then, all the king's wise men came in, but they couldn't read the writing, nor make known [its] interpretation to the king. Then, king Belshazzar was greatly troubled & his [expression] was changed [within] him & his lords were [astonished.] 

Now, [because] of the [king's] words, the queen & his lords came into the banquet house. And the queen [spoke] & said, O king, live forever. [Don't] let your thoughts trouble you, nor let your [expression on your face] be changed. There is man in your kingdom, in whom is the Spirit of the Holy [God.] 

And I say, [during] the days of your father; light; understanding; & wisdom, like the wisdom of [God] was found in him; whom king Nebuchadnezzar, your father made master [over] the: magicians; astrologers; Chaldeans; & soothsayers. 

[Because,] in [this] same Daniel, [was] found an: excellent spirit; knowledge; understanding; interpreting dreams; & [declaring] [answers to] hard [questions, a.k.a. enigmas,] & [erasing] of doubts, whom the king named Belteshazzar. 

Now, let Daniel be called & he will [declare its] interpretation. Then, Daniel was brought in before the king. And the king [spoke] & said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel, [who] is of the children of captivity [from] Judah, whom my father, the king, brought out [from the country of the Jews?] 

I have even heard [about] you, that the Spirit of [God] is [within] you, & that light; understanding; & excellent wisdom is found in you. 

And now the wisemen & astrologers have been brought in before me, [so] that they [could] read this writing, & make [its] interpretation known to me, but they couldn't [declare it's] interpretation [of it.] 

And I have heard [about] you, that you can [explain] interpretations & [eliminate] [any] doubts. Now, if you can read the writing & make [its] interpretation known to me, you shall be clothed with scarlet, have a chain of gold [around] your neck, & shall be the 3rd ruler in the kingdom. 

Then, Daniel answered & said [in front of] the king, Let your gifts be [for] yourself, & give your rewards to another. [Still,] I will read the writing to the king & make known [its] interpretation to him. 

O you king, the Most High God, gave Nebuchadnezzar, your father, a kingdom; majesty; glory; & honor. And for all the majesty that He gave him; all people; nations, & languages, trembled & feared, [in front of] him. 

[This fear was related to:] whom he [wanted,] he [killed,] & whom he [wanted,] he kept alive & whom he [wanted,] he [put] up, & whom he [wanted,] he put down. [Daniel 2:12-13 For this [reason,] the king was angry & very furious & commanded [that] all the wise men of Babylon [be] destroyed. And the decree went [out] that the wise men should be slain; & they [searched for] Daniel & his [companions] to be slain.] 

But when [Nebuchadnezzar's] heart was [elevated,] & his [prideful] mind hardened, he was [removed] from his kingly throne, & they took his glory from him. 

[Job 15:24-25 Trouble & anguish shall make him afraid. They shall prevail against him, [like] a king ready [for] battle. For he stretched out his hand against God & strengthened himself against the Almighty.]

And he was driven from the sons of men & his heart was made like the [wild animals,] & his dwelling was with the wild [mules.] They fed him with grass like oxen, & his body was wet with the dew [from] heaven, [until] he knew that the Most High God ruled in the kingdom of men & that He [appointed] over it, [whomever] He [wanted.] 

And you, his son, O Belshazzar, [haven't] humbled your heart, [although] you knew all this. But [you] [have] lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels [from] [the Lord's] house [in front of] you. And you & your: lords; wives; & [mistresses,] have drunk wine in them. 

And you [have] praised the gods of: silver; gold; brass; iron; wood; & stone, [that] don't see, nor hear, nor know. And you [haven't] glorified God, Whose hand [holds] your breath & all your ways.

Then, the [portion] of the hand was sent from Him & this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. This is [its] interpretation: Mene: God has numbered your kingdom & has finished it. Tekel: You are weighed in the balances, [a.k.a. scales,] & are found [lacking.] 

Peres: Your kingdom is divided & given to the Medes & Persians. Then, Belshazzar, commanded & they clothed Daniel with scarlet; put a chain of gold [around] his neck; & made a proclamation [related to] him, that he should be the 3rd ruler in the kingdom. 

[During] that night, Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans, [a.k.a. Babylonians,] was [killed.] And Darius, the Median, [a.k.a. Mede,] took [over] the kingdom, & [was] about 62 years old.
