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.

Abraham & Isaac Go to Make a Burnt Sacrifice to the Lord

 

Abraham & Isaac Go to Make a Burnt Sacrifice to the Lord

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

It [happened] after these things, that God [tested] Abraham & said, Abraham. And [Abraham] said to Him, [See,] here I am. And [God] said, Take your son now, your only son, Isaac, whom you love & [go together] into the land of Moriah & offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains, which I will tell you of. Abraham rose & saddled his [donkey] early in the morning [along with] 2 young men & Isaac, his son, and split some wood for the offering & went to the place God had told him [to go].

On the 3rd day, Abraham lifted his eyes up & could see the place afar off. And Abraham said to his young men, Stay with the [donkey] the lad & I will go yonder to worship & will come [back] to you again. Abraham put the wood for the offering on Isaac [to carry] & he took [a torch of] fire in his hand & a knife & they both went together. Isaac said to Abraham, his father, My father. [Abraham] said, Here I am, my son. [Isaac] said, [Looke,] we have the fire & the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering? Abraham said, My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering. So, they both went [on] together.

They came to the place that God had told him [about] & Abraham built an altar there & placed the wood in order & bound his son, Isaac & laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched [out] his hand & took the knife to slay his son, [but] the Angel of the Lord called to him out of heaven & said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

[The Lord God's Angel] said, [Don't] lay your hand on the lad, [or] do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, [since] you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me. [Then,] Abraham lifted his eyes & saw a ram caught by his horns in a thicket. Abraham took the ram & offered [it] as the burnt offering instead of his son. Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah Jireh, but it is called to this day, In the Mount of the Lord it shall be seen. 

The Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a 2nd time out of heaven & said, By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing & have not withheld you son, your only son: That in blessing I will bless you & multiplying I will multiply your [descendants like] the stars of the heaven & [like] the sand which is on the seashore & your [descendants] shall possess the gate of their enemies. *And in your seed [lineage] all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because you have obeyed My voice. 

[Galatians 3:16 Now, to Abraham & his Seed were the promises made. [God didn't] say, to seeds, [like] of many; but as of One, And to your Seed, which is Christ.] 

So Abraham returned to his young men & they rose up & went together to Beersheba. And Abraham [lived] in BeerSheba. It [happened] after these things, Abraham was told that Milcah has [borne] children to Nahor, your brother. Huz [was] his firstborn. Buz, his brother & Kemuel [who was] the father of Aram, And Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph & Bethuel. Bethuel [fathered] Rebekah. These 8 Milcah bore to Abraham’s brother, Nahor. Nahor’s [mistress,] Reumah, [bore] him Tebah, Gaham, Thahash & Maachah.
