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.

Job 36:1-33 Elihu Proceeds to Challenge Job

 

Elihu Proceeds to Challenge Job

Job 36:1-33                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

Elihu also proceeded & said, [Bear with me] a little & I will [share with] you, [what] I have yet to speak on God's behalf. I will [gather] my knowledge from afar & I will [attribute] righteousness to my Maker. For truly, my words shall not be false.

He, [Who] is perfect in knowledge is with you. [See,] God is mighty & [doesn't despise anyone.] He is mighty in strength & wisdom. He [doesn't] preserve the life of the wicked, but gives [justice] to the poor.

[God doesn't] withdraw His eyes from the righteous, but He with kings [who] are on the throne; [yes,] He [establishes] them & they are exalted forever. [Psalm 113:6-8 Who humbles Himself to [see] the things that are in heaven & in the earth! He raises up the poor out of the dust & lifts the need out of the [garbage dump; so] that He may set him with the princes of the people.] 

And if they [are] bound in [chains] & [are] held [with] cords of affliction. Then, [God] shows them their [deeds] & their [sins] that they have [done exceedingly.] [Psalm 107:10-11 [Those who] sit in darkness & in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction & iron; because they rebelled against the Words of God & [despised] the [advice] of the Most High.]

[God opens] their [ears to listen] to discipline & commands that they [turn away] from [sin.] If they obey & serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity & [spend] their years in [pleasure.] But if they [don't] obey, they shall [be struck down] by the sword & they shall die without knowledge. 

But [those who are] hypocrites [within their] heart, heap up [fury.] They [don't] cry [out] when He binds them. They die [while they're young] & their life is among the unclean. [Psalm 55:23 But You, O God, shall bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody & deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in You]

[God] delivers the poor in his affliction & opens their ears [by] oppression. Even so, [God] would have removed you out [from narrow straits] & into a [wide] place, where there is no [anguish] & that [food] should be [put] upon your table, which should be full [of rich food.]

[Psalm 36:8-9 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the [rich food] of Your house & You shall make them drink of the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the Fountain of Life. In Your Light we shall see Light.]

But you have [fully pleaded the case, requiring] the judgment of the wicked. [The] judgment & justice [of the Lord God] take hold [of] you. Because there is [anger,] beware lest [God takes] you away with His stroke [of His strong hand.] Then [even] a [large] ransom can’t deliver you.

[Psalm 89:10 You have broken Rahab [into] pieces, [like someone who is killed]; You have scattered Your enemies with Your strong arm.]  

Will [God like] your riches? No, not [even] gold, nor all the forces of strength. [Proverbs 11:4 Riches [aren’t beneficial on] the Day of Wrath. But righteousness delivers from death.]

[Don't] desire the night, when people are cut off  in their place [of rest.] [Pay attention & don't] regard [what is sinful.] For you have chosen this [instead] of affliction.

[Look,] God exalts by His power. Who teaches like [God?] Who has [assigned God,] His [path?] Or who can say, You have [fashioned what is sinful?] [Job 34:13 Who has given [God] charge over all the earth? Or who has [put] the whole world [in its place?]

Remember that you magnify [God's] work, which men [see.] Every man may see it; [but] man [sees it from] afar. [Look,] God is great & we [don't] know Him, neither can the number of [God's] years be searched out. [Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth & the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You Are God.]. 

For [God] makes the small drops of water & they pour down rain according to [its evaporation;] Which the clouds do drop [down]  upon man & [purify] abundantly. 

Also, can [anyone] understand [God's] spreading [out] the clouds, or the [thundering] noise of His tabernacle? [Look, God] spreads His light upon it & covers the bottom of the sea. For by [these, God] judges the people & He gives [food] in abundance.

[Psalm 104:14 He causes the grass to grow for the cattle & the herb for the service of man: [so] that He may bring forth food out of the earth.]

[God] covers the light with clouds & commands [the sun] not to shine, [when] the cloud comes between [them.] [Consider] the [lightnings' thundering sound, put on display, even] the cattle [consider the rising storm.]
