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.

Isaiah 50:1-11 The Lord God Will Help Me

 

The Lord God Will Help Me

Isaiah 50:1-11                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this,] Where is the [certificate] of your mother's [divorce,] whom I have put away? Or which of My creditors is it to whom I have sold you? [Look,] you have sold yourselves for your [sins] & your mother is put away for your transgressions. 

[Why,] when I came, wasn't there [any] man? When I called [out,] there [were] none to answer? Is My hand at all shortened, that it can't redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? [See,] at My [scolding,] I dry up the sea & I make rivers a wilderness. Their fish stink, because there is no water & [the fish] die for thirst. 

[Psalm 106:7-11 Our [forefathers didn't understand] Your wonders in Egypt. Then [didn't remember] the multitude of Your mercies; but provoked Him at the sea, even at the Red Sea. [Still,] He saved them for His Name's sake, [so] that He might make His mighty power to be known. 

He also [scolded] the Red Sea & it was dried up. So He led them through the depths, [like] through the wilderness. And He saved them from the hand of [those who] hated them & redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. And the waters covered their enemies & there wasn't one of them left.] 

I clothe the heavens with blackness & I make sackcloth their covering. [Exodus 10:21 And the Lord said to Moses, Stretch out your hand toward heaven, [so] that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.] 

The Lord God has given Me the tongue of the learned, [a.k.a. educated, so] that I should know how to speak a word [at the appropriate time,] to him, [who] is [tired.] He wakes morning by morning & He [awakens] My ear to hear, [like] the [educated.] 

*The Lord God has opened [My] ear & I wasn't rebellious, neither [did I turn] away [My] back. *I gave My back to the [smitters, a.k.a people, who struck Him] & My cheeks to [those who] plucked off the hair. I [didn't hide] My face from shame & spitting. 

[Mark 15:15-20 And so Pilate, willing to [satisfy] the people, released Barabas to them & when he had Him [whipped,] delivered Jesus, to be crucified. And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, called Praetorium & they [called] together the whole band. 

And they clothed Him with purple & [wove] a crown of thorns & put it [around] His head & began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews! And they [struck] Him on the head with a reed & did spit upon Him. And bowing their knees, they worshiped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & led Him out to crucify Him.] 

For the Lord God will help Me. Therefore I shall not be [overwhelmed.] Therefore, I have set My face like a flint & I know that I shall not be ashamed. He is near, [Who] justifies Me. Who will [argue] with Me? Let us stand together. Who is [My] adversary? Let him come near to Me. Who is he, [who] shall condemn Me?

[Look,] they all shall [grow] old [like] a garment. The moth shall eat them up. [Psalm 102:25-27 Of old, You have laid the foundation of the earth. And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They shall perish, but You shall endure. [Yes,] all of them shall [grow] old like a garment. You shall change them like a [robe] & they shall be changed. But You are the same & Your years have no end.]

Who is among you, [who] fears [respects] the Lord, that obeys the voice of His servant & [follows] in darkness & has no light? Let him trust in the Name of the Lord & stay [focused] upon his God. 

[Watch,] you, [who start] a fire & [surround] yourselves with sparks. Walk in the light of your fire & in the sparks that you have kindled. [Psalm 16:4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied, that [hurry] after another god. I won't offer their drink offerings of [bloodshed,] nor take up their name into My lips.] 

You shall have [this from My] hand & you shall lie down in sorrow.
