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.

Habakkuk 1:1-17 Habakkuk Foretells of the Capture of the Chaldeans

 

Habakkuk Foretells of the Capture of the Chaldeans

Habakkuk 1:1-17           The Book of Habakkuk [in Smaller Chunks]

The burden, [a.k.a. vision, that] Habakkuk, the prophet, [saw.] O Lord, how long shall I cry [out] & You won't hear! [I] even cry out to You [about] violence, & You won't save! Why [do] You [declare] to me [what is] [sinful,] & cause me to [see injustice.] 

For [plundering] & violence are [in front of] me: & there are [those,] [who] raise up [disagreement & arguments.] Therefore, the Law is [slow] & [justice] never [does] go [out.] [Isaiah 1:23-24 Your princes are rebellious, & companions of thieves. 

Everyone loves gifts, [a.k.a. bribes,] & follows after rewards. They [don't] judge the fatherless, & neither [does] the [case] of the widow come to them. Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, says, Ah, I will [ease Myself] of [My] adversaries, & avenge [Myself] of [My] enemies.]

For the wicked [surrounds around] the righteous. Therefore, wrong judgment [continues.] [Micah 3:10-11 They build up Zion with [bloodshed] & [build up] Jerusalem with [what is] [sinful.] 

The [leaders of it,] judge for reward; [its] priests teach for [pay;] & the prophets [of it] divine for money. [Still,] they [rely] upon the Lord, & say, Isn't the Lord among us? [No,] evil shall come upon us.] 

You among the heathen, [look,] & [pay attention,] & wonder [with admiration.] For I will [do] a work, [a.k.a. miracle] in your days, [that] you won't believe, [even if] it [is] told [to] you. 

For, [look,] I [will] raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter & [impetuous] nation. [Who] shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the [homes] that aren't theirs. They are [terribly] dreadful, & their judgment & dignity [come from] themselves. 

Also, their horses are swifter than the leopards, & are more fierce than the wolves [at night.] And their horsemen shall spread themselves [out] & their horsemen shall come from far [away.] They shall fly as [fast as a hungry] eagle, that [hurries] to eat. 

They all shall come for violence & their faces shall [devour] like the East wind, & they shall gather [them for] captivity, as [numerous as] the sand. And they shall [mock] the kings, & the princes shall be [looked down on by] them. They shall [ridicule] every stronghold. 

For they shall heap [up] [dirt] [for embankments] & [capture] it. Then, his mind shall change & he shall [cross] over, & [go astray, attributing,] his power to his god. 

[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, [so] 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; sorceries, fornication, [a.k.a. adultery,] nor their thefts.]

O Lord my God, [my] Holy One, aren't You from everlasting? You have [appointed] them for judgment. And, O mighty God, You have [designated] them for correction. [Malachi 3:5-6 And I will come near to you [for] judgment. 

And I will be a swift witness against the: sorcerers; adulterers; [those who] [swear falsely;] & against those [who] oppress the: [hired worker with] his wages; the widow; the fatherless; & turn aside the stranger from his [rights;] & [those who] [don't] fear [respect] Me, says the Lord of Hosts. For I Am the Lord, & I [don't] change. Therefore, you sons of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] aren't consumed.]

You, [who have] purer eyes than to [look upon] evil & can't look on [what is] [sinful, why] [do] you look upon [those, who behave] treacherously, & [hold] your tongue when the wicked [devour] the man, [who] is more righteous than he [is?] 

[Deuteronomy 24:14-15 You shall not oppress [a] hired servant, [who] is poor & needy, whether he [is] of your brethren, or of your strangers, [who] are within your gates, in your land. 

At [the end of] his day, you shall give him his hire, [a.k.a. wages,] & neither shall the sun go down upon it. For he is poor, & sets his heart upon, [a.k.a. depends upon] it. Lest he cry [out] against you to the Lord, & [its] [attributed as a] sin to you.] 

And [do you] make men [like] the [fish] of the sea, & [like] the [crawling] things, that have nor ruler over them? They take all of them up with the [hook,] & they catch them in their net, & gather them in their [trawling net.] Therefore, they rejoice & are glad. 

Therefore they sacrifice to their net, & burn incense to their [trawling net;] because by them, their portion is [abundant,] & their meat is [plentiful.] [Deuteronomy 8:17-18 And you say in your heart, My power & the [strength] of [my hands] has gotten me this wealth.

But you shall remember the Lord your God. For it is He, [Who] gives you power to get wealth, [so] that He may establish His covenant [contract, that] He [swore] to your [forefathers, like] it is this day.] 

Therefore, shall they [continue] [to] not spare & empty their [nets,] & slay the nations [without mercy?]
