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 Lord God Appears to Jacob on a Ladder in a Dream

The Lord God Appears to Jacob on a Ladder in a Dream

Genesis  28:1-22               The First Book of Moses Called Genesis

Isaac called Jacob & blessed him and [commanded] him & said, You shall not take a wife [from] the daughters of Canaan, [but] arise & go to Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel, your mother’s father, to [find] you a wife [from] the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother. 

*[May] God Almighty bless you & make you fruitful & multiply you that you may be a multitude of people & give you the blessing of Abraham & to your [descendants] with you, that you may inherit the land where you are a stranger, which God gave to Abraham. 

[Genesis 22:17 That in blessing, I will bless you & in multiplying, I will multiply your [descendants like] the stars of the heaven & the sand which is upon the seashore. And your [descendants] shall possess the gate of his enemies.] Isaac sent Jacob away to Padan Aram to Laban, [who] was the son of Bethuel, the Syrian & [was] the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's & Esau's mother.

When Esau saw that as Isaac had blessed Jacob & sent him away to Padan Aram, to [find] a wife from [there] & [commanded] Jacob, saying, You shall not take a wife [from] the daughters of Canaan; And that Jacob obeyed his father & mother & [left for] Padan Aram.

Then, Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan, [didn't] please Isaac, his father, he went to Ishmael [Abraham’s son by Hagar] & married his daughter, Mahalath, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife. [Genesis 26:34 And Esau was 40 years old when he took [as] wife, Judith, the daughter of Beeri, the Hittite & Bashemath, the daughter of Elon, the Hittite.]

Jacob went out from BeerSheba toward Haran & came to a certain place & [stayed] there all night, because the sun had set. And he took & put stones [from] that place [at his head] as pillows & lay down to sleep. And when he dreamed: a ladder was set up on the earth & [its] top reached to heaven & the angels of God were ascending & descending on it. 

And [Jacob saw,] the Lord stood above it & said, I am the Lord God of Abraham, your father & the God of Isaac. *The land where you lie, I will give to you & your [descendants.] Your [descendants] shall be [like] the dust of the earth & spread to the west, east, north & to the south & in you & in your [descendants] shall the families of the earth be blessed. 

[Isaiah 9:6 For unto to us, a Child is born, unto to us, a Son is given & the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God & the Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.] 

*[See,] I am with you & will keep you in all places, wherever you go & will bring you [back] again to this land; for I will not leave you, until I have done what I have spoken [about] to you. 

[Joshua 24:12-13 And I sent the hornets [in front of] you, which [drove] them out from before you. Even the 2 kings of the Amorites, but not with your sword [or] bow. And I have given you a land for which you didn't [work] & cities [that you didn't] build & you [live] in them. You eat of the vineyards you [didn't] plant.]

Jacob [awoke from] his sleep & said, Surely the Lord is in this place & I [didn’t] know it. He was afraid & said, How [inspiring] is this place! This is none other than the house of God & the gate of heaven. 

Jacob arose early in the morning & took the stone that he had put for his pillows & set it up as a pillar & poured oil on top of it. [Jacob] called the name of the place BethEl, but the name of that city was called Luz, [previously.] 

Jacob [made] a vow saying, If God will be with me & keep me [on] this [road] that I go & will give me bread to eat & [clothing] to put on, so that I come back to my father’s house in peace; then the Lord shall be my God. And this stone which I have set [for] a pillar, shall be God’s house & all that You shall give me, I will surely give a 1/10th to You, [Lord God.]
