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 2:1-20 The Lord Tells Habakkuk to Write This Vision

 

The Lord Tells Habakkuk to Write This Vision

Habakkuk 2:1-20          The Book of Habakkuk [in Smaller Chunks]

[Put] me upon the [watch] tower, & I will stand on my watch, & will watch to see what He will say to me. And what I shall answer when I'm [corrected.] [Isaiah 21:8-9 And he cried [out,] A lion. My lord, I continually stand upon the watch tower in the daytime, & I am [put] in my [division all] nights. 

And, [look,] here comes a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered & said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; & He has broken all the [carved] images of her gods, to the ground.] 

And the Lord answered me, & said, Write the vision upon [tablets] & make it plain, [so] that he [who] reads it may run. [Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because [a] sentence [delivered] against an evil work, [a.k.a. deed,] isn't [carried out] speedily. Therefore, the heart of the sons of men is fully [focused within] them to do [what is:] evil.] 

For the vision is [still] for an appointed time, but at the end, it shall speak, & not lie. [Although] it [delays,] wait for it; because it will surely [happen,] & it won't [delay.] 

[2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack, [a.k.a. slow, about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also, & the works, [a.k.a. things made,] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.] 

[Look,] his soul, [that] is lifted up, [a.k.a. magnified, exalted, or elevated,] isn't upright, [a.k.a. honest, within] him. But the just, [a.k.a. fair, honest, or righteous,] shall live by his faith. 

[Yes,] because he also [sins through] wine & is a proud man, & [doesn't] [stay] at home, & who enlarges his [desires,] as [big as] hell & can't be satisfied, [like] death [never has enough,] but gathers to [himself] all nations, & [heaps] up all [the] people to [himself.] 

[Isaiah 5:11-15 Woe to [those, who] rise up early in the morning, [so] that they may follow strong [drinks] & continue until night, [until] wine [inflames] them! And the: harp; viol; [tambourine; flute;] & wine, are in their feasts: but they [don't] regard [respect] the work of the Lord, & neither [do they] consider the operation of His hands. 

Therefore, My people [have] gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge. And their honorable men are [starving] [for knowledge] & their multitude [are] dried up with [a] thirst [for knowledge.] 

Therefore, hell has enlarged herself, & opened her mouth, [beyond] measure. And their: glory; multitude; [pageantry;] & he [who] rejoices, shall descend, [a.k.a. go down] into it. And the mean man shall be brought down, & the mighty man shall be humbled, & the eyes of the [arrogant] shall be humbled.]

[Shouldn't] all these take up a [proverb] against him, & a [song] [for] taunting against him, & say, Woe to him [who increases, what] isn't his! And to him, [who stores] [up for] himself [within] [walls of] thick clay! How long? [Luke 12:19-21 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have [many] goods laid up for many years. 

Take [it easy,] & eat, drink, & be merry. But God said to him, You fool, this night, your soul shall be required of you. Then, whose shall those things be, [that] you have provided? So is he, [who] lays up treasure for himself, & isn't rich toward God.] 

[Shouldn't] [those who] shall [devour] you, & [oppress] you, rise up suddenly, & awake [you] & you shall be [plunder for] them? [Since,] you [have plundered] many nations, all the [rest] of the people shall [plunder] you; because of [the] [bloodshed] [of] men & for the violence [in] the city, & all [who] dwell [in] the land, [there.] 

Woe to him, [who envies] [what is:] evil, [lusting for] his house, [so] that he may [put] his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! [Obad 4-5 [Although] you exalt yourself [like] the eagle, & you [put] your nest among the stars, I will bring you down [from] there, says the Lord. 

If thieves & robbers came to you [at] night, ([See,] how you are cut off!) Wouldn't they have stolen [until] they had enough? If the grape gatherers came to you, wouldn't they leave some grapes?]

You [have] [given] [shameful] [advice] to your house, [a.k.a. family,] by cutting off many people, & [have] sinned against your [own] [life.] For out of the wall, the stone shall cry [out,] & the beams [from] the [timbers] shall answer it. Woe to him, [who] builds a town [by bloodshed,] & [establishes] a city [through sinfulness.] 

[Look,] isn't it [from] the Lord of Hosts, that the people shall [work] [to satisfy] the fire, & the people shall [tire] themselves [to satisfy what is:] vanity? [Daniel 12:9-10 And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are [shut] up & sealed [until] the time of the end.

Many shall be [tested,] purified, & made white. But the wicked shall do wickedly, & none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.] 

For the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the [Lord's] glory, [like] the waters cover the sea. Woe to him, [who gives] his neighbor [a] drink, & [who gives] your bottle to him, & makes him [drunk, so] that you may also look [upon] their nakedness!

[Proverbs 20:1-2 Wine is a mocker, & strong drink [causes] raging. And [whoever] is deceived [by it] isn't wise. The fear of a king is [like] a roaring lion. [Whoever] provokes him to anger, sins against his own [life.] 

[Instead of] glory, you are filled with shame. You also drink & [reveal your circumcision.] The cup [from] the Lord's right hand shall be [returned] to you, & shameful [hurling] shall be [instead of] your glory.

[Jeremiah 15:15-16 For the Lord God of Israel [said this,] to me; Take the wine cup [from] My hand, of this fury & cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. And they shall drink, & be [shaken & insane,] because of the sword that I will send among them.]

For the violence [done] [to] Lebanon, & because the [bloodshed] of [men,] & for the violence [to] the land, & the city, & all [who] dwell [there,] the [plunder by wild animals, that] made them afraid, shall [spread over] you. 

What [does it] [benefit] the maker [of] the [carved] image, [who carved] it, & the [molded] image, a teacher of lies, that the maker of his works, trusts [in them,] to make dumb, [a.k.a mute] idols? 

[Psalm 115:4-6 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. They have noses, but they [don't] smell.

They have hands, but they [don't touch.] They have feet, but they [can't] walk. 

Neither [do] they speak through their throat, [Those, who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone [who] trusts in them.]

Woe to him, [who] says to the wood, [Wake up] & to the [mute rock,] Arise. Shall it teach? [Look,] it is [overlaid] with gold & silver, & there is no breath, at all, [within] it. But the Lord is in His Holy temple. Let the earth keep [silent] before Him. 

[2 Corinthians 6:16 And what [like-mindedness] does the temple of God [have] with idols? For you are the temple of the Living God; [like] God has said, I will dwell [within] them, & walk [within] them. And I will be their God, & they shall be My people.]
