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.

Psalm 40:1-17 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician.

Psalm 40:1-17            Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I waited patiently for the Lord & He [leaned] to me, & heard my [outcry.] [Psalm 27:1  The Lord is my Light, & my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid] 

He also brought me up, out of [a] horrible pit, out of the [muddy] clay, & set my feet upon a rock, & established my [steps.] [Psalm 69:14 Deliver me out of the [mud,] & [don't] let me sink. Let me be delivered from [those who] hate me, & out of deep waters.] 

And He [has] put a new song in my mouth, even praise [for] our God. Many shall see it, & fear, [a.k.a. respect,] & shall trust in the Lord. Blessed is that man [who makes] the Lord his trust, & [doesn't respect] the proud, nor [those who] turn aside to [what are] lies. O Lord my God, many are Your wonderful works, which You have done. [Psalm 105:37-42 He also brought them [out] with silver & gold. And there wasn't 1 feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of [the Israelites,] fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering, & fire to give light in the night. The people asked, & He brought quails, & satisfied them with the bread of heaven, [a.k.a. manna.] He opened the rock, & the waters gushed out; & they ran in the dry places like a river. For He remembered His Holy promise, & Abraham, His servant.]

And Your thoughts, which are [toward] us: they can’t be [calculated] in order to You. If I would [announce,] & speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. [Psalm 139:17-19 Also, how precious are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the [total] of them! 

If I should count them, they are [larger] in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with You. Surely, You [will] slay the wicked, O God. Therefore, you [bloodthirsty] men, depart from me.] 

You didn't desire [sacrifices & offerings.] [Isaiah 1:14-16 My soul [hates] your New Moons, & your [scheduled] feasts. They are a trouble to Me. I am [tired of putting up with] them. And when you spread [out] your hands, I will hide [My] eyes from you. [Yes,] when you make many prayers, I won't hear: your hands are full of [bloodshed.] Wash [yoursleves,] & make [yourself] clean. Put away the evil of your [actions,] from before [My] eyes, & [stop doing] evil.] 

You [haven't] required burnt [offerings,] & sin [offerings.] You [have] opened [my] ears. [Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man [didn't] come to be ministered to, but to minister, & to give His life, a ransom for many.] 

Then, I said, [Look,] I come. In the volume of the [Scriptures,] it is written of Me. [Hebrews 10:9-10 Then, He said, [Look,] I come to do Your will, O God. He [took] away the 1st [Covenant, so] that He may establish the 2nd [Covenant.] By which, we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all.]

I delight to do Your will, O my God. [Yes,] Your law is [written] within My heart. [Hebrews 8:10-12 For this is the Covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, [says] the Lord. I will put My Laws into their [minds,] & write them in their hearts. And I will be to them a God, & they shall be a people to Me. And they shall not every man teach his [neighbor,] & every man [teach] his brother, saying, Know the Lord. For all shall know Me, from the [powerless] to the [powerful.] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness. And I will no [longer] remember their sins, & iniquities.] 

I have preached righteousness in the [large] congregation. [Look,] O Lord, You [know,] I haven't [withheld] my lips. I haven't [hidden] Your righteousness within my heart. I have declared Your faithfulness, & Your Salvation. I haven't concealed Your loving kindness, & Your Truth from the [large] congregation. [John 14:6 Jesus [said] to [Thomas,] I Am the Way, the Truth, & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] 

[Don't] withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord. Let Your loving kindness, & Your Truth continually preserve, [a.k.a. safeguard,] me. 

For [numerous] evils have [surrounded around] me. [My sins] have taken hold [of] me, so I'm not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of [my] head. Therefore, my heart [fails] me. 

O Lord, be pleased to deliver Me. O Lord, [hurry] to help Me. Let them be ashamed & [confused] together, [who] seek after My soul, [a.k.a. life,] to destroy it. [Matthew 26:3-4 Then the chief priests, scribes, & elders of the people, assembled together to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, & consulted [so] they might take Jesus by [trickery,] & kill Him.]

Let [those who] wish me evil, be driven backward, & put to shame. Let them be desolate, [as repayment for] their shame that say, Aha, Aha, to me. [Galatians 6:7 [Don't] be deceived. God is not mocked. For [whatever] a man [plants,] he shall also [harvest.]

Let all [those who] seek You, rejoice & be glad in You. Let [those who] love Your Salvation continually say, The Lord be magnified. But I am poor & needy. [Still,] the Lord [thinks] upon me. You [are] my help, & my deliverer. [Don't delay,] O my God.
