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.

1 Chronicles 16:1-43 David's First Psalm to the Lord God for All His Wondrous Works

 

David's First Psalm to the Lord God for All His Wondrous Works

1 Chronicles 16:1-43      1 Chronicles in [Smaller Chunks]

So they brought the Ark of God & [put] it in the midst of the tent David had pitched for it. They offered burnt sacrifices & peace offerings before [the Lord] God. 

At the end of the [offerings & sacrifices,] David blessed the people in the Name of the Lord [God]. [David gave] to everyone of Israel, both [men & women] a loaf of bread, a good [sized] piece of [meat & a jug] of wine. 

[David] appointed [some of the] Levites to minister before the Ark of the Lord & to [keep the records] & thank & praise the Lord God of Israel. Asaph, the chief [leader] & next to him, Zechariah, Jeiel [a.k.a. Jaaziel,] Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom & Jeiel. 

Jeiel [& these were to play the lyres &] harps. But Asaph was to sound the cymbals. Also, Benaiah & Jahziel, the priests [played] trumpets continually [in front of] the Ark of the Covenant of God. 

On that day, David delivered this psalm [song] into the hand of Asaph & his [relatives] to thank the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord & call upon His [Holy] Name & make known [what God has done] among the people. 

Sing to Him & sing psalms to Him & talk of all His wondrous works [miracles.] Glory in His Holy Name & let the [hearts of those] rejoice [who] seek the Lord. Seek the Lord & His strength. Seek His face continually. 

Remember His marvelous [miracles] He has done & the judgments [He pronounced.] O you, [descendants] of Israel, His servant, His chosen ones. He is the Lord, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

Always [remember] His Covenant [contract,] the Word [that] He commanded to 1,000 generations. Even the covenant [contract that] He made with Abraham & [the Lord God's] oath with Isaac.

[The Lord has established these] to Jacob for a law & to Israel for an everlasting covenant [contract] saying, To you, I will give the land of Canaan [as the portion you will inherit.] 

When you were [just] a few [in number,] even a few with strangers in it. When [the Israelites wandered] from nation to nation, from 1 kingdom to another people, 

[the Lord God didn't allow anyone to oppress or] to do wrong [against] them. God [warned] kings for their sakes, saying, [Don't] touch My anointed [or] harm My prophets. 

Sing to the Lord all the earth & show His Salvation [to others everyday.] Declare [the Lord God's] glory among the heathen [nations who worship false gods] & His marvelous [miracles] among all nations. 

For great is the Lord [God] & greatly to be praised. He is to be feared [respected] above all gods. For all the gods of the people are idols [false gods,] but the Lord made the heavens.

Glory & honor are in His presence & strength & gladness are in His place. Give to the Lord you [families] of the people. Give to the Lord glory & strength. Give to the Lord, the glory due to His [Holy] Name. 

Bring an offering & come before Him. Worship the Lord in the [splendor] of His Holiness. [Tremble] before [the Lord God,] all the earth. The world shall be stable & not moved. 

Let the heavens be glad & the earth rejoice & let me say among the nations, The Lord [God rules.] Let the sea roar & [its] fulness. Let the fields rejoice & all that is [in them.]

Then, the trees of the [woods] shall sing out at the presence of the Lord, because He comes to judge the earth. O give thanks to the Lord; for He is good & His mercy [endures] forever.

You [shall] say, Save us, O God of our Salvation. Gather us together & deliver us from the heathen [who worship idols, so] we may give thanks to Your Holy Name & [triumph] in Your praise. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel forever & ever.

All the people said, Amen [& they] praised the Lord. [In leaving from the front of] the Ark of the Covenant, David left Asaph & [his relatives] to minister [serve] before the Ark [of the Covenant of the Lord] continually, as [each] day's work required.

[David also left] Obed Edom, [Jeduthun's] son & 68 [relatives.] Obed Edom & Hosah [were] to be [gate keepers.] Zadok, the priest & his priest [relatives were to be in front of] the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon.

[They were to present] burnt offerings to the Lord upon the altar [for] the burnt [offerings] continually, morning & evening & to do according to all that is written in the [Lord's] Law, commanded to Israel. 

[Along] with them, Heman & Jeduthun & the rest of [those] chosen by name, [were] to give thanks to the Lord, because His mercy endures forever. With them, Heman & Jeduthun [were in charge of the] trumpets, cymbals & musical instruments [to make music for the Lord God.] 

[Jeduthun's] sons were [gate keepers.] All the people [left to return] to [their own] houses & David returned to bless his [household].
