About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:

About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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.

Judges 10:1-18 The Israelites Who Worshiped the Foreign gods Were Captured

 

The Israelites Who Worshiped the Foreign gods Were Captured

Judges 10:1-18    The Book of Judges [in Smaller Chunks]

After Abimelech [died,] Tola arose to defend Israel. [Tola was] the son of Puah, [who was] the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, & [Tola lived] in Shamir in Mount Ephraim. And [Tola] judged Israel 23 years & died & was buried in Shamir.

After him arose Jair, a Gileadite, [who] judged Israel 22 years. He had 30 sons [who] rode on 30 [donkey] colts, & they had 30 cities, [that] are called Havoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead. And Jair died & was buried in Camon. 

And the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, & served: Baalim, Ashteroth, & the gods of Syria, the gods of Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon,] the gods of Moab, the gods of the [people] of Ammon, & the gods of the Philistines & [abandoned] the Lord, & didn’t serve Him.

And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, & He sold them into the hands of: the Philistines & the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon. 

And that year, they vexed, [a.k.a. harassed,] & oppressed the [people] of Israel [who] were on the other side of [the] Jordan [River] in the land of the Amorites [that] is in Gilead, & [did so for] 18 years. 

[Additionally,] the [people] of Ammom also [crossed] over [the] Jordan [River] to fight against the house, [a.k.a. families of:] Judah, Benjamin & Ephraim, [so] that Israel was [extremely] distressed. 

The [people] of Israel cried [out] to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against You, because we have both: [abandoned] our [Lord] God, & [have] also served 

Baalam.

And the Lord said to the [people] of Israel, Didn’t I deliver you from the: Egyptians & the Amorites & from the [people] of: Ammon, Philistines, Zidonians, Amalekites, Maonites,[a.k.a. Midianites, who] oppressed you?

And you cried [out] to Me, & I delivered you out of their [hands, but] you have [abandoned] Me, & served other gods. [So, for this reason,] I will no [longer] deliver you. Go & cry [out] to the gods [that] you have chosen; & let them deliver you in your time of [trouble.]

And the [people] of Israel said to the Lord, We have sinned. You, do to us [whatever seems] good to You. We [will] pray [only to] You, only deliver us this day. 

And they put away the strange, [a.k.a. foreign,] gods from among them, & served the Lord & His soul was grieved, [a.k.a. saddened, because of] the misery of Israel.

Then, the [people] of Ammon were gathered together, & [set up camp] in Gilead. And the [people] of Israel assembled themselves together, & [set up camp] in Mizpah. And the people & princes of Gilead said to one another, [Who] will begin to fight against the [people] of Ammon? He shall be the head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
