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.

Jeremiah 20:1-18 Pashur has Put Jeremiah, the Prophet, into Stocks

 

Pashur has Put Jeremiah, the Prophet, into Stocks 

Jeremiah 20:1-18                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Now, Pashur, [Immer's] son, the priest, who also was [in charge of] the [Lord's] house, heard that Jeremiah [had] prophesied these things. Then, Pashur [struck] Jeremiah, the prophet & put him in stocks that were in the High Gate of Benjamin, [near] the [Lord's] house. 

And it [happened] on the [next day,] that Pashur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then, Jeremiah said to him, The Lord hasn't called your name Pashur, but Magor Missabib. For the Lord says [this, Look,] I will make you a terror to yourself & to all your friends. 

And they shall fall by the sword of their enemies & your eyes shall [see] it. And I will give all Judah into the hand of [Babylon's] king, & he shall carry them captive into Babylon & shall [kill] them with the sword. 

[Jeremiah 21:8-10 And you shall say to this people, The Lord says [this; Look] I will [present] before you the Way of Life & the Way of Death. He, [who remains] in this city, shall die by the sword, famine & pestilence. 

But he [who] goes out & falls to the Chaldeans, [who attack] you, he shall live. And his life shall be [for a prize] to him. For I have set My face against this city for [calamity] & not for good, says the Lord. It shall be [turned over] into the hand of [Babylon's] king. And he shall burn it with fire.]

[Also,] I will deliver all the strength of this city & all [its] labors & [its] precious things & all the treasures of [Judah's] kings & I will give [them] into the hand of their enemies, [who] shall [plunder] them & take & carry them to Babylon. 

[Jeremiah 19:12-13 The Lord says, I will do [this] to this place & to [its residents] & even make this city [like] Tophet, [a.k.a. Topheth.] And the houses of Jerusalem & [Judah's] kings, shall be defiled, [like] the place of Tophet, because of all the [rooftops] of the houses [on which] they have burned incense to all the [stars & constellations] of heaven & have poured out drink offerings to other gods.] 

And you, Pashur, & all [who] dwell in your house shall go into captivity. And you shall come to Babylon & you shall die there & shall be buried there, you & all your friends, to whom you have prophesied lies. 

O Lord, You have deceived me & I was [persuaded.] You are stronger than I & have prevailed. I am [ridiculed] daily & everyone mocks me. For since I [spoke] & cried out, I cried [out about] violence & [plunder]; because the Word of the Lord was made a [disgrace] to me & [ridiculed] daily. 

Then, I said, I won't make mention of Him, nor speak in His Name, any more. But His Word was in my heart [like] a burning fire, [closed] up [within] my bones. And I was [tired] of [holding it back] & I couldn't [cease.] For I heard the [slandering] of many [with] fear on every side. 

They say, Report & we will report it. All my [acquaintances] watched for my [ceasing,] saying, [Perhaps,] he will be [persuaded] & we shall prevail against him & take our revenge on him. [Psalm 31:13 For I have heard the slander of many. Fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against Me & they [plotted] to take My life.] 

But the Lord is with me [like] a [terribly awesome] Mighty One. Therefore, my persecutors shall stumble & they shall not prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper & their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten. 

[Jeremiah 17:18 Let [those who] persecute me be [confused,] but [don't] let me be [ashamed.] Let them be dismayed, but don't let me be [discouraged.] Bring upon them the day of evil & destroy them with double destruction.]

But, O Lord of Hoses, [Who tests] the righteous & sees the [heart strings] & the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For I have opened my cause to You. [Jeremiah 15:15 O Lord, You know & remember me. Visit me & [avenge] me of my persecutors. In Your patience, [don't] take me away. Know that I have suffered [disgrace,] for Your sake.] 

Sing to the Lord & you, praise the Lord: for He has delivered the [life] of the poor from the hand of [those who do evil.] Cursed [is] the day [in which] I was born. 

[Don't] let the day my mother [delivered] me, be blessed. Cursed [is] the man who brought [news] to my father, saying, A [male] child is born to you; making him very glad. And let that man be [like] the cities [that didn't repent,] which the Lord overthrew.

And let Him hear the [out] cry in the morning & the shouting at [noon.] Because He [didn't kill] me from the womb; or that my mother might have [miscarried] & her womb always be [large] with me & [would have] been my grave. [Is this the reason,] I came out of the womb, to see labor & sorrow, [so] that my days should be consumed with shame?
