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 29:1-21 Ezekiel is Supposed to Prophesy Against Pharaoh & All of Egypt

 

Ezekiel is Supposed to Prophesy Against Pharaoh & All of Egypt

Ezekiel 29:1-21             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

[On] the 12th day, [of] the 10th month, [during] the 10th year, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, [put] your face against Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king, & prophesy against him & against all [of] Egypt. 

[Speak & say, The Lord God says [this; Look,] I Am against you, Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king, the great dragon, [a.k.a. monster,] that lies in the midst of [its] rivers, [who] has said, My river is [my] own & I have made it for myself. 

[Jeremiah 44:30 The Lord says [this; Look,] I will give Pharaoh Hophra, [Egypt's] king, into the hand of his enemies & into the hand of [those, who] seek his life; [like] I gave Zedekiah, [Judah's] king, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, his enemy, [who] sought his life.] 

But I will put hooks in your jaws & will cause the fish of your rivers to stick into your scales. And I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers & all the fish of your rivers shall stick into your scales. 

[Amos 4:2 [Look,] The Lord God has sworn by His Holiness, that the days shall come upon you, that He will take you away with hooks & your [descendants] with fish hooks.]

And I will leave you thrown into the wilderness & all the fish of your rivers & you shall fall upon the open fields. And you shall not be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for [meat] to the [animals] of the field & to the [birds] of the heaven.

[Revelation 19:19-20 *And I saw the beast & the kings of the earth & their armies gathered together to make war against Him, [Who] sat on the horse & against His army. And the beast was [captured] & the false prophet with him, that [worked] miracles before him, [in] which he deceived [those, who] had received the mark of the beast & [those, who] worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone.] 

And all the [residents] of Egypt shall know that I Am the Lord, because they have been to the house of Israel, a staff, [a.k.a. walking stick,] [made] of reeds. When they took you by your hand, you [broke] & [tore] their shoulder & when they leaned on you, you [broke] & made all their loins to be at a stand [still.] 

Therefore, The Lord God says [this; See,] I will bring a sword upon you & cut off man & [animals] out of you. [Ezekiel 32:12-13 I will cause [all] your multitude to fall by the swords of the mighty & the terrible of the nations. And they shall [plunder] the [pageantry] of Egypt & all [its] multitude shall be destroyed.]

And the land of Egypt shall be desolate & [wastelands] & they shall know that I Am the Lord, because [Pharaoh] has said, The river is mine & I have made it. 

Therefore, [watch,] I Am against: you & your rivers, & I will make the land of Egypt [totally wastelands] & desolate, from The Tower of Syene, [a.k.a. Migdol,] even to the border of Ethiopia. 

No foot of man, nor of [animal] shall pass through it & neither shall it be inhabited [for] 40 years. And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate. And her cities among the cities that are laid [to] waste, shall be desolate 40 years. 

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations & will [distribute] them through [out] the countries. [Ezekiel 30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of [Babylon's] king & put My sword in his hand. But I will break Pharaoh's arms & he shall groan [in front of] him, with the [groans] of a man [with] deadly wounds.] 

[Still,] The Lord God says [this;] At the end of 40 years, I will gather the Egyptians from the people [where] they were scattered. And I will again bring [those] of Egypt [from] captivity & will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land [they inhabited,] & they shall be a [lowly] kingdom there. 

It shall be the [lowliest] of the kingdoms. Neither shall it exalt itself anymore, above the nations. For I will [reduce] them, [so] that they shall no [longer] rule over the nations. And it shall no [longer] be the confidence of the house of Israel, [who remembers] their [sinfulness,] when they shall [think of] them. 

But they shall know that I Am the Lord God. And it [happened on] the 1st day, [of] the 1st month, [during] the 27th year, The Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, caused his army to serve [an enormous] service, against Tyrus, [a.k.a. Tyre.]

[Ezekiel 27:26-27 Your rowers have brought you into [deep, large] waters. The East wind has broken you in the [middle] of the seas. Your: riches; [market places;] merchandise, mariners [captains; caulkers;] & traders of your merchandise, & all your men of war, [within] you & all your [multitude of people within] you, shall fall into the midst of the seas, [on] the day of your, [a.k.a. Tyrus',] ruin.] 

Every head was made bald & every shoulder was peeled [by the sun,] [still] he, nor his army] had [any] wages, for the service, [a.k.a. debris removal] he had [done,] against Tyrus. Therefore, The Lord God says [this; Look,] I will give the land of Egypt to [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king. 

And he shall take [its] multitude [of wealth] & [its plunder] & take [it as a prize.] And it shall be the wages for his army. I have given him the land of Egypt for his [work in which] he served against it, because they [worked] for Me, says the Lord God. 

[On] that day, I will cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud [out] & I will give you [an open] mouth, in the midst of them & they shall know that I Am the Lord.  [Ezekiel 24:27 [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; [so] they shall know that I Am the Lord.]
