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.

The Flood Subsides & Every Living Thing on the Ark Disembarks

 

Flood Subsides & Every Living Thing on the Ark Disembarks

Genesis 8:1-22                     The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

God remembered Noah & every living thing & all cattle [animals] that were with him in the ark. God made the wind pass over the earth & the water [subsided]. The fountains of the deep & the windows of heaven were stopped & the rain from heaven was restrained. The waters continually [left] the earth & after the 150 days the waters [decreased]. 

On the 17th day of the 7th month, the ark rested on the mountains of Ararat. The waters [continued to decrease] until the 1st day of the 10th month, the tops of the mountains were seen. At the end of 40 days, Noah  opened the window he [had] made [in] the ark. And he sent a raven out [of a window] & it went to & fro until the waters dried up from the earth. [Noah] also sent out a dove to see if the waters [decreased] from the ground, but the dove found no [resting place] for the soles of [its feet & returned to the ark, [because the waters still covered] the face of the whole earth. [Then, Noah] pulled her into the ark with him. [Noah waited 7 more days] & sent the dove out & it came back in the evening with a plucked olive leaf in her mouth, so Noah knew the waters had [receded] from the earth. So, Noah stayed another 7 days & sent the dove & it didn’t return any more.

[On] the 1st day of the 1st month in the 601st year, the waters were dried from off the earth. Noah removed the covering of the ark & saw the [surface] of the ground was dry. On the 27th day of the 2nd month, the earth was dried. God [told] Noah, Go [out] of the ark, you & your [family] & bring every living thing of all flesh that was with him [in the ark]: [birds], cattle [animals] & [things that creep] on the earth, so that they may breed & are fruitful & multiply & abundantly [on] the earth. 

After Noah, his family & [all the living creatures] went forth out of the ark, [Noah] built an altar to the Lord & took of every clean [animal & bird] & offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled the sweet [aroma of the offering] & the Lord said in His heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake, for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I again [kill] every living thing, as I have done. While the earth remains, seedtime & harvest, cold & heat, summer & winter & day & night shall not cease.
