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 Rainbow: God's Covenant

 

The Rainbow: God's Covenant

Genesis 9:1-29                     The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

God blessed Noah & his sons & said to them, Be fruitful & multiply & [fill] the earth. Every beast of the earth & every [bird] of the air & all that move on the earth & all fish of the sea are given into your hand & they will fear you & shall be food for you, even as the green herbs. [They] are delivered into your hand.

Every moving thing that lives shall be meat for you: even [like] the green herb, I have given you all things. You shall not eat flesh with [its] blood, that is [its] life. 

Surely, [if] your blood is [shed,] I will require the [blood] of any [beast] or man [who takes the life of a man.] I will require it at the hand of [that] man's brother. In the image of God, He made man, so whoever sheds man’s blood, his blood will be shed by man. [I will require the life blood of any man or beast that sheds it.]

And you, be fruitful & multiply & bring forth abundantly in the earth. God [said] to Noah & to his sons, Behold, I establish My covenant with you & your [descendants] after you & with every living creature that is with you of [birds,] cattle [animals] & every beast of the earth that [goes] out from the ark. I will establish my covenant [promise] with you, neither shall all flesh be destroyed by the waters of a flood, [nor] a flood to destroy the earth.

God said, this is a covenant which I make between me & you & every living creature with you for perpetual generations: I set my [rainbow] in the cloud & it shall be for a [sign] of the covenant between Me & you & every living creature of all flesh & the [flood] waters shall no [longer,] become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the [rainbow] shall be in the cloud & when I look upon it, [so] that I may remember My everlasting covenant between God & every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 

And God said to Noah, This is the [sign] of the covenant, which I have established between Me & all flesh that is upon the earth. The sons of Noah [who went out] of the ark were Shem, Ham & Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. These 3 sons of Noah [populated] the whole earth. 

Noah began to be a farmer & planted a vineyard. [Noah] drank the wine & became [drunk.] [Then,] Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father [uncovered] in his tent & told his [brothers:] Shem & Japheth [who discreetly] walked backward with a garment on their shoulders & covered the nakedness of their father [without seeing] his nakedness.

[When] Noah awoke from his wine & knew what his younger son had snow ro him. [Noah] said, Cursed be Canaan: shall be a servant of [the] servants of his [brothers.] And [Noah] said, Blessed be the Lord the God of Shem & Canaan shall be [Shem's] servant. God shall enlarge Japheth & he shall dwell in the tents of Shem & Canaan shall be his servant. Noah lived 350 years after the flood & was 950 years old & he died.
