Elihu Mistakenly Tries to Describe God's Actions |
Job 37:1-24 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks] |
My heart also [trembles] at this, & [pounds] out of [its] place. [Listen] attentively [to] the noise of [God's] [thundering] voice, & to the sound that [goes] out of His mouth. [God directs] [everything] under the whole heaven, & [directs] His lightning to the ends of the earth. |
After [God's] voice [roars,] & He [thunders] with the voice of His [excellence,] & God won't [make] them [cease] when His voice is heard. God [thunders marvelously] with His voice, & He [does] great things, which we can't [fully] [understand.] |
For [God says] to the snow, [Fall &] be on the earth, & [also] to the [light] rain, & to the [hard rains from God's] strength. [Psalm 147:16-17 [God gives] snow like wool, & He [scatters] the [frost] [on the ground] like ashes. He [casts down] His ice like morsels [of food.] Who can stand before [God's] cold?] |
[God seals] up, [the work during the winter months, done by:] the hand of every man, [so] that all men may know [God's] work. [Psalm 109:26-27 Help me, O Lord, my God: O save me, according to Your mercy: [so] that they may know that this is [from] Your hand, & that You, Lord, have done it.] |
Then, the [animals] go into dens, & remain in their places. Out of the South [comes] the [tornado,] & cold out of the North. Frost is given by the breath of God, & the [expanse] of the waters is [frozen] [straight.] |
Also, by watering, [God wearies, a.k.a. exhausts,] the thick cloud, & [God scatters] His bright [clouds.] And [the cloud] is turned [all around] by [God's advice, so] that they may do [whatever] God [commands] them [to do,] upon the [surface] of the [whole] world, [of] the earth. [God causes] it to [happen,] whether for correction, or for His land, or for mercy. |
[Job 38:25-27 Who [has] divided a [spill way] for the overflowing waters, or a way, [a.k.a. path,] for [lightnings' thunderbolt,] to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, [where] there is no man; to satisfy the desolate [wastelands,] & to cause the tender herb [to] bud, & to [sprout out.] |
[Pay attention] to this, O Job; stand still, & consider the wondrous works of God. [Exodus 13:20-22 And they took their journey from Succoth, & [camped] in Etham, [on] the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord went [in front of] them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead, [a.k.a. show,] them the way, & by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, to go by day & night. [The Lord God didn't take] away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from [in front of] the people, [a.k.a. Israelites.] |
[Do] you know when God [put] them [in place,] & caused the light of His cloud to shine? Do you know the [balance] of the clouds & the wondrous works of [God, Who] is perfect in knowledge? [Genesis 1:14-16 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. And let them be for: signs, seasons, days, & for years. And let them be for lights in the firmament of heaven, to give light upon the earth, & it was so. And God made 2 great lights; the [larger] light to rule the day, & the [smaller] light to rule the night. He also made the stars.] |
[Do you know] how your [clothing is] warm, when [God] quiets the earth by the South wind? [Have] you with [God, Who] is strong, spread out the sky, [like] a [molded] looking glass, [a.k.a. mirror?] [Genesis 1:6-8 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters. And let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, & divided the waters [that] were under the firmament, from the waters [that] were above the firmament. And it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening & the morning were the 2nd day.] |
Teach us what we shall say to [God;] for we can't [put] our speech [in] order, [because] of [the] darkness. Shall [God] be told [what I say?] If a man [speaks,] surely he shall be swallowed up. |
And now men [can't look] [at] the bright light, [that] is in the clouds. But the wind [passes, & cleanses] them. With [God's terribly] [splendid] majesty, fair weather [comes] out [from] the North. |
We can't find out [about] [anything related to] the Almighty. He is excellent in power, & in judgment, [with] plenty of justice, & He won't afflict. [Romans 11:33-35 [Of] the depth, & the [richness] of both the wisdom, & knowledge of God! |
His judgments, & His ways are unsearchable, & are [beyond] finding out. For who [has] known the mind of the Lord? Or who [has] been [God's advisor?] Or who [has] first given to God, & it shall be [repaid] to him again?] |
Therefore, men fear, [a.k.a. respect, God.] He [isn't partial] to any [whose hearts] are wise. [Matthew 11:25 At that time, Jesus answered & said, I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven & earth, because You [have hidden] these things from the wise & [cautious,] & [have] revealed them to babes, [a.k.a. inexperienced followers of Jesus Christ.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
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.
