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 4:1-14 The Olive Trees on the Right & Left Side of the Lampstand

 

The Olive Trees on the Right & Left Side of the Lampstand

Zechariah 4:1-14         The Book of Zechariah [in Smaller Chunks]

And the Angel, [who] talked with me, came again & [woke] me, [like] a man [who] is [awakened] out of his sleep. [Daniel 8:18-19 Now, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep, [with] my face toward the ground. 

But he touched me, & [stood] me upright. And he said, [Look,] I will [let] you know what shall be in the time appointed [for] the end, in the [latter times,] of the indignation.]

And [he] said to me, What [do] you [see?] And I said, I have looked & [saw an] all gold candlestick, [a.k.a. lampstand,] with a bowl upon the top of it. And [its stand had] 7 lamps [on it.] And 7 pipes, [a.k.a. glass cylinders,] to [cover] the 7 lamps, [that] are upon the top [of it.] 

[Revelation 1:12-13 And I turned to see the voice, that [spoke] with me. And being turned, I saw 7 golden candlesticks, [a.k.a. lampstand.] And in the midst of the 7 candlesticks, One, [similar] to the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the [feet,] & [strapped] around the [chest] with a golden [band.]

And 2 olive trees by it, 1 upon the right side of the bowl, & the other upon the left side [of it.] [Revelation 11:3-5 And I will give power to My 2 witnesses, & they shall prophesy 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. 

These are the 2 olive trees, & the 2 candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. If any man [harms] them, fire [goes] out of their mouth, & [devours] their enemies. And if any man [harms] them, he must be killed in this manner.]

So, I answered & [spoke] to the Angel, [who] talked with me, [asking,] What are these, my lord? Then, the Angel, [who] talked with men, answered & said to me, [Don't] you [know] what these [are?] And I said, No, my lord. 

Then, he answered & [spoke] to me, saying, This is the Word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by [strength,] nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts. 

[Haggai 1:2-4 The Lord of Hosts [speaks this;] saying; This people say, The time [hasn't] come, the time that the Lord's house should be [rebuilt.] Then, the Word of the Lord came [through] Haggai, the prophet, saying, O you, is it time for you to dwell in your [paneled] houses, & this house lies [in ruins?] 

O great mountain, who are you, [in front of] Zerubbabel? You shall become a plain, & he shall bring [out its] head stone with shouting, & crying [out,] Grace, grace [be] unto it.

[Matthew 21:42-46 *Jesus [said] to them, Didn't you ever read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same [has] become the head of the corner. This is the Lord's doing, & it is marvelous in our eyes? 

Therefore, I say to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, & given to a nation [producing] the fruits [of it.] *And [whoever] shall fall on this stone, shall be broken. But on [whomever] it shall fall [on,] it will grind him to powder. 

And when the chief priests & Pharisees had heard His parables, they [knew] that [Jesus spoke] of them. But when they sought to lay hands on Him, they feared the multitude, because they [considered] Him a prophet.]

[Also,] the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of [the Lord's] house, & his hands shall also finish it. And you shall know that the Lord of Hosts has sent me to you. For who has despised the day [for little] things?

For they shall rejoice & shall see the plummet [line] in the hand of Zerubbabel, with those 7 [eyes.] They are the eyes of the Lord, [that] run [back & forth] through the whole earth. Then, I answered & said to him, What are these 2 olive trees on the right side & on the left side of the candlestick? 

And I [asked] again, & said to him, What [are] these 2 olive branches, [that] empty out of themselves the golden oil, through the 2 golden pipes?

[Leviticus 24:1-4 And the Lord [spoke] to Moses, saying, Command the children [people] of Israel, that they bring to you pure beaten olive oil for the light, to [make] the lamps burn continually.  

[Outside] the [veil] of the Testimony, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, Aaron shall order it from the evening [until] the morning, before the Lord continually. 

It shall be a [mandate] forever [during] your generations.] He shall order the lamps [to stay lit,] upon the pure [gold] candlestick before the Lord continually.

And he answered me & said, [Don't] you know what these [are?] And I said, No, my lord. Then he said, These are the 2 anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
