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.

Numbers 24:1-25 Balaam Blesses Israel

 

Balaam Blesses Israel

Numbers 24:1-25                  The Fourth Book of Moses Called Numbers

When Balaam saw that it pleased the Lord [God] to bless Israel, he [didn’t] go to seek for [an] enchantments, but he [turned] his face toward the wilderness. Balaam lifted his eyes up & saw Israel [living] in tents, according to their tribes.]  

And the Spirit of God came upon [Balaam.] [Balaam] started telling [Balak,] Balaam [Beor’s] son, the man whose eyes are open, [has] said, He [who] heard the Words of God & saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open.

How [beautiful] are your [tents,] O Jacob & your tabernacles, O Israel! [Lke] the valleys are spread [out, like] gardens by the river’s side, [like] the trees of lign aloes & cedar trees, which the Lord has planted, beside the waters.

[The Lord God] shall pour the water out of His buckets & His seed shall be in many waters & His King shall be [greater] than Agag & His Kingdom shall be exalted.

[Revelation 1:5-8 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness & the first begotten of the dead & the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him, [Who] loved us & washed us from our sins in His Own blood & has made us priests to God & His Father. To Him be glory & [power] forever & ever. Amen. 

[Look,] He comes with clouds & every eye shall see Him. And also, [those who] pierced Him. And all [the families] of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] is & [Who] was & [Who] is to come, the Almighty.]

God brought [them forward] out of Egypt. He has strength [like] of a [wild ox.] He shall [devour] the nations of [their] enemies & shall break their bones & pierce them through with [their] arrows. [He squatted] & he lay down [like] a lio & [like] a [large] lion. Who shall [wake] him up?

Blessed is he [who] blesses you & cursed is he [who] curses you. [King Balak’s] anger [grew] against Balaam & he [struck] his hands together. Balak said to Balaam, I called you to curse [my] enemies & you have blessed them these 3 times. 

Therefore, now flee to your place. I had thought to promote you to great honor, but, [look,] the Lord has kept you from [that] honor.

Balaam said to Balak, [Didn’t I tell] your messengers you sent to me & [said,] If Balak would give me his house full of silver & gold, I can’t go beyond the [Lord’s command] to do either good or bad [on my own,] but [only to say & do] what the Lord [says.] That I will [say.]

Now, [look, I’m going back] to my people. Therefore, come & I will [tell] you what this people [of Israel] shall do to your people in the latter days. 

[Balaam began speaking] & said, Balaam, [Beor’s] son, the man whose eyes are open [has] said, He [who] has heard the Words of God & [who has] knowledge [from] the Most High & [who] saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:

*I shall see Him, but not now. I shall behold Him, but not [close.] There shall come a Star out of Jacob & a [royal] Scepter shall rise out of Israel & shall [strike] the corners of Moab & destroy the children [people] of Sheth.

[Matthew 2:1-2 Now, when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea [during] the days of king Herod, [look,] there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He, [Who] is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East & [have] come to worship Him.] 

And Edom & Seir shall be [conquered by] his enemies. Israel shall do valiantly. *Out of Jacob, shall come He, [Who] shall have [power] & shall destroy [those] who [remain in] the city. 

[Revelation 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the offspring of David & the Bright Morning Star.]

When [Balaam] looked upon Amalek, [he began to speak] & said, Amalek was the 1st of the nations, but his [final] end shall be that he [perishes] forever. 

[Balaam] looked on the Kenites & [began to speak] & said, Strong is your dwelling place. You put your nest in a rock. [Still] the Kenite [will be destroyed,] until Asshur [a.k.a. Ashur & Asher] shall carry you away captive.

[Balaam began to say] & said, Alas, who shall live when God does this! Ships shall come from the coast of Chittim & shall afflict Asshur & Eber & shall also perish forever. [Then,] Balaam [arose] & returned to his [home] & Balak also went [on] his way.
