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.

2 Kings 22:1-20 The Book of the Law is Read to King Hezekiah

 

The Book of the Law is Read to King Hezekiah

2 Kings 22:1-20                              2 Kings [in Smaller Chunks]

Josiah was 8 years old when he began to [rule,] & he [ruled] 31 years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, [Adaiah's] daughter, [from] Boscath. 

And [Josiah] did [what] was right in the sight of the Lord. And [king Josiah,] walked, [a.k.a. followed,] in all the [paths] of David, his [forefather, & didn't turn] aside to the right hand or the left. 

And it [happened] in the 18th year king [Josiah] [ruled,] that the king sent Shaphan, [Azaliah's] son, [who was] the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying, 

Go up to Hilkiah, the high priest, [so] he may [count] the silver [that] is brought into the [Lord's] house, [so that] the door keepers have gathered [from] the people.

And let them deliver it into the [hands] of the [workers, who supervise] [the repair of the damage to] the Lord's] house. And let them give [the money] to the [workers, the:] carpenters, builders, & masons, & to buy timber, & [cut] stone to repair the [damages] of the house of the Lord [God.]

[But] there was no [reason to make them] [account for] the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully. And Hilkiah, the high priest, said to Shaphan, the scribe, I have found the Book of the Law, in the [Lord's] house. 

And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, & he read it. And Shaphan, the scribe, came & brought word again [to] king [Josiah,] & said, Your servants have gathered the money found in the [Lord's] house, & have delivered it into the hand of the [workers, who supervise] [the repairs to] the [Lord's] house.

And Shaphan, the scribe, [said while] [showing] the king, saying, Hilkiah, the priest, [has] delivered a book [to] me. And Shaphan read it [in front of] king [Josiah.] And it [happened,] when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, [king Josiah tore] his clothes. [Joshua 7:6 And Joshua [tore] his clothes, & fell upon his face, to the [ground, in front of] the Ark of the Lord, until [evening,] & he, & [Israel's] elders, put dust upon their heads.] 

And king [Josiah] commanded: Hilkiah, the priest; Ahikam, [Shaphan's] son; Achbor, [Michaiah's] son; Shaphan, the scribe, & Asahiah, the king's servant, saying, You go, & [inquire from the Lord for me, & for all the people, & for all Judah, [about] the Words of this Book that [was] found. 

For the [anger] of the Lord that [has grown large] against us, because our [forefathers haven't paid attention] to the Words of this Book, to do according to all that is written [related to] us. 

So: Hilkiah, the priest; Ahikam; Achbor; Shaphan, & Asahiah, went to Huldah, the prophetess, [who was] the wife of Shallum, [Tikvah's] son, [who was] [Harhas'] son, [the] keeper of the wardrobe. 

(Now, [Huldah lived] in Jerusalem in the college;) & they [spoke] with her. And [Huldah] said to them, The Lord God of Israel [says this,] Tell the man, [who] sent you to Me, The Lord [says this, Watch] I will bring [calamity] upon this place, & upon [its residents,] even all the Words [from] the Book [that] the king of Judah [has] read. 

Because they have [abandoned] Me, & have burned incense to other gods, [so] that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works [made by] their hands. [Psalm 115:4-8 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. They have noses, but they [don't] smell. They have hands, but they [don't touch.] They have feet, but they [don't] walk. Neither [do] they speak through their throat. [Those, who] make them, are [similar] to them; & so is everyone, [who trusts] in them.] 

Therefore, My [anger] shall [grow] against this place, & shall not be quenched, [a.k.a. put out.] But to the king of Judah [who] sent you to [inquire from] the Lord, you shall say [this] to him, The Lord God of Israel [says this, Related to] the Words [that] you [have] heard; 

Because your heart was tender, & you [have] humbled yourself before the Lord, when you [heard] what I [spoke] against: this place, & [its residents,] that they [would] become a desolation, & a curse, & [that you] [have torn] your clothes, & wept before Me, I have also heard you, [says] the Lord.

Therefore, [look,] I will gather you to your [forefathers,] & you [shall] be gathered into your grave in peace. And [also,] your eyes shall not see all the evil [that] I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king [Josiah] word again.
