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.

Psalm 17:1-15 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

 

A Prayer of David.

Psalm 17:1-15            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, give [Your] ear & hear the [righteous] & [take care of] my [outcry] & my prayer, that goes out from [sincere, not deceitful] lips. Let Your eyes [see] the things that are [fair] & let my sentence come [out] from Your presence.

You have [tested my] heart & visited me in the night. You have tried me & shall find nothing. [My desire is] my mouth shall not [sin.] [Psalm 66:10 For You, O God, have [tested] us. You have tried us, [like] silver is tried.]

By the Word of Your lips, I have kept [myself from] the [deeds] of men & the paths of the destroyer. [Hebrews 2:14 Then, [like] the children have flesh & blood, Christ, Himself also took the same flesh & blood; so that through death, Christ might destroy him, [who] had the power [over] death [which] is the devil.] 

[Uphold,] my [going on] Your paths, [so] my footsteps [don't] slip. I have called upon You. [Lean] Your ear to me, for You will hear me, O God & hear [what I say.]

[Show] Your marvelous loving kindness, [to those who] put their trust in You. O You, [Who] saves by Your right hand, from those [who] rise up against them.

Keep me [like] the apple of [Your] eye & hide me under the shadow of Your wings, from the wicked [who] oppress me & from my deadly enemies [who surround around] me. 

They are [covered] in their own fat & speak proudly with their mouth. They have now [surrounded] us in our steps & bowing down to the earth, they have set their eyes [upon us] like a greedy lion & a young lion, lurking in secret places [for] his prey. 

O Lord, arise & cast him down & [confront] him. Deliver my soul from the wicked, [with] Your sword: From men, [with] Your hand, O Lord, from men of the world, [who] have their portion in this [lifetime.] [Psalm 16:5 You uphold my lot. The Lord is the portion & my cup of [my] inheritance.]

[Those] whose [stomachs] You fill with Your [hidden] treasure. [2 Kings 24:13-14 And he carried out [from there] all the treasures of the house of the Lord & the treasures of the king's house & cut in pieces all the vessels of gold [that] Solomon, king of Israel, had made [for] the temple of the Lord, [like] the Lord had said.] 

They [have many] children & leave the rest of their [possessions] to their [little ones.] As for me, I will [see] Your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied when I awake, with Your likeness. 

[1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, we are now the sons of God & it's not [apparent] yet, what we shall be. But we know that when we shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him [like] He is. And every man [who] has this hope in [Christ,] purifies himself, even [like God] is pure.]
