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.

God Asks Job's Advisors if They Know These Things

Job 39:1-30                                  Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks]

[Do] you know the time when the wild [mountain] goats [deliver?] Or can you [determine when the deer] calve? Can you [count] the months [until they're full-term?] Do you know the time when they [will deliver?] They bow themselves [down] & they [deliver] their young ones & [forget] their sorrows.

Their young ones are [well-liked,] they grow up with corn & they go [out] & don't return to them. Who has sent out the wild [donkey] free? Or who has [loosened] the bands [that restrain] the wild [donkey?] 

Whose house have I made the wilderness & the barren land [the donkey's] dwelling? [The wild donkey looks down on] the multitude of the city & doesn't regard the driver crying [out.] The [mountain] range is his pasture & he searches after every green thing.

Will the [wild ox] be willing to serve you, or [stay in] your [pen?] Can you [tie up the wild ox to make him plow] furrows? Or will he harrow [to break up & make smooth] the valleys after you. Will you trust him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave [all your work] to him? Will you believe him, that he will bring home your [grain] & gather it into the barn? 

[Did] you give [beautiful] wings to peacocks? Or wings & feathers to the ostrich? Which leaves her eggs in the [ground] & warms them in the [dirt.] And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild [animal] may break them. 

She is [indifferent to] her young ones, as though they weren't hers. Her labor is in vain without fear. Because God has deprived [the ostrich] of wisdom & neither has He [given] understanding to her. [At] times, she lifts herself on high & she [looks down] on the horse & [its] rider.

Have you given the horse [its] strength? Have you clothed his neck with [a mane that looks like] thunder [while galloping?] Can you make [the horse] afraid [& rear up to jump, like] a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is terrible. [The horse] paws [his hooves] in the valley & rejoices in his strength. 

He goes on to [catch up with] the armed men. He [scoffs] at fear & isn't [frightened.] Neither does he turn [away] from the sword. The [bow's] quiver, the [glistening] spear & the shield rattle against him. 

[The horse can hardly] believe the sound of the trumpet, [as his galloping hooves] swallow [up] the ground with fierceness & rage. He [laughs] among the trumpet [blasts] & smells the battle far [away] & the captains thunder & [shout] [out orders] 

Does the hawk fly by your wisdom & stretch out [its] wings toward the south? Does the eagle mount up at your command & make her nest on high? She [lives & stays] upon the [cliff ledges] & the [secure places] of the rock. 

From there, she seeks the prey & her eyes [see it from] far [away.] Her young [eaglets] suck up [the prey's] blood. She is where the slain are. [Matthew 24:28 For [wherever] the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered there.]
