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.

Zechariah 3:1-10 Joshua & Satan Standing Before the Angel of the Lord

 

Joshua & Satan Standing Before the Angel of the Lord

Zechariah 3:1-10         The Book of Zechariah [in Smaller Chunks]

And [to] me, he [showed] Joshua, the high priest, standing [in front of] the Angel of the Lord, & Satan standing at his right hand [side,] to resist, [a.k.a. oppose,] him. And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord [rebukes] you, O Satan. Even the Lord, [Who] has chosen Jerusalem [scolds] you. 

Isn't this a [branding iron] [pulled] out of the fire? [Amos 4:11 I have overthrown some of you, [like] God overthrew Sodom & Gomorrah, & you were [like] a [branding iron] plucked out of the burning [fire,] [still,] you haven't returned to Me, says the Lord.]

Now, Joshua was clothed with filthy garments & stood [on front of] the Angel. And [the Angel] answered & [spoke] to those, [who] stood [in front of] him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. 

And to [Joshua] he, [a.k.a. the Angel of the Lord,] said, [Look,] I have caused your [sin] to pass [away] from you, & I will clothe you with [a] change of [garments.] [Isaiah 61:10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, & my soul shall be joyful in my God. 

For He has clothed me with the garments of Salvation & He has covered me with the robe of His Righteousness, [like] a bridegroom [decorates] himself with ornaments, & [like] a bride adorns herself with her jewels.]

And I said, Let them [put] a [clean turban,] upon his head. So they [put] a [clean turban] on [Joshua's] head, & clothed him with garments. And the Angel of the Lord stood [near] by. 

And the Angel of the Lord protested to Joshua, saying, The Lord of Hosts says [this;] If you will walk in My ways, & if you will keep My charge, then you shall also judge My house. 

[Numbers 3:31-32 And their charge, [a.k.a. duty,] shall be the: Ark [of the Covenant;] the table; the [candlesticks, a.k.a. lamps;] the altars; & the vessels of the sanctuary [with which] they minister, & the [decorative] [hangings;] & all the service [of it.] And Eleazar, [Aaron's] son, the priest, shall be [in charge] over the chief of the Levites, & have the oversight of [those, who] keep the charge of the sanctuary.]

And [you] shall also keep My courts, & I will give you places to walk among [those, who] stand [near] by. O Joshuah, the high priest, & your [companions, who] sit before you, Hear now: for they are men wondered at.

[Isaiah 8:18 *[Look,] I & the children [people,] whom the Lord has given Me are for signs & wonders in Israel from the Lord of Hosts, [Who] dwells in Mount Zion.]

For: [watch,] I will bring forth My Servant, the BRANCH. [Isaiah 11:1-4 *And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, & a Branch shall grow out of his roots. *And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him: The Spirit of wisdom & understanding; The Spirit of [advice] & [strength;] The Spirit of Knowledge & the fear [respect] of the Lord. 

And shall make Him of [immediate] understanding in the fear [respect] of the Lord. And He shall not judge [according to] the sight of His eyes. Neither [shall He] [chastise, according] [to what] His ears [hear.] 

But He shall judge the poor with righteousness, & [repay] the meek, [a.k.a. humble,] of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod of His mouth, & He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.]

For, [look;] [this is] the stone I have laid [in front of] Joshua. Upon [this] one stone, shall be 7 eyes. [Look,] I will engrave the [inscription on it,] says the Lord of Hosts. And I will remove the [sin] of that land in one day. 

[1 Peter 2:21-24 For even [until now, you were called: because Christ, also suffered for us, leaving us an example, [so] that you should follow His steps: *Who didn't sin, neither was there [deceit] found in His mouth. *Who when He was [insulted, didn't insult] again. 

When He suffered, He [didn't threaten;] but committed Himself to [God, Who] judges righteously. *Who His Own Self [bore] our sins in His Own body on the [cross made of a] tree, [so] that we being dead, [through] sins, should live unto righteousness, by Whose stripes [of the whip,] we are healed.]

The Lord of Hosts says, [On] that day, you shall call every man & his neighbor, [to come] under the vine, & under the fig tree. [Micah 4:4 But every man shall sit under his vine & under his fig  tree. And [no one] shall make them afraid. For the mouth of the Lord of Hosts has spoken it.]
