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 42:1-11 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

To the chief Musician, Maschil [a.k.a. Maskil,] for the sons of Korah.

Psalm 42:1-11           Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

As the [deer] pants after the water [in] brooks, my soul [also,] pants after You, O God. My soul thirsts for God. When shall I come & appear before God, the living God? 

[Romans 9:26 And it shall [happen,] that in the place where it was said to them, You are not My people; there, they shall be called the children of the Living God.] 

My tears have been my [food] day & night, while they continually say to me, Where is Your God? [Psalm 80:5 You feed them with bread of tears & give them tears to drink in [large amounts.]

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul [within] me. For I had gone with the multitude & went with them, with the [voices] of joy & praise, to the house of God, with a multitude that kept [the holy day.]

O my soul, why are you [downcast?] Why are you [upset within] me? [Because of] your hope in God, for I shall [still] praise Him for His [appearance & help.] O my God, my soul is [downcast] within me. Therefore, I will remember You from the land of Jordan & of the Hermonites, from the Hill [of] Mizar [a.k.a. Mount Mizar.] 

Deep [waters] call unto the deep, at the [sound] of Your waterspouts. All Your waves & Your billows [overflow] me. [Jonah 2:3 For You have cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas & the floods [surrounded around] me. All Your billows & Your waves [flooded] over me.]

[Still,] the Lord will command His loving kindness in the daytime & in the night, His song shall be with me & my prayer to the God of my life. [Job 35:10 But none say, Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night?]

I will say to God, my Rock, Why have You forgotten Me? Why [do] I go mourning, because of the oppression of the enemy? [Matthew 27:46 And about the 9th hour, Jesus cried [out] with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?] 

[Like] with a sword [piercing] in My bones, [My] enemies [disgrace] me, while they say daily to Me, Where is Your God? [Matthew 27:39-43 And [those who] passed by [insulted] Him, wagging their heads & saying, You, [Who] destroys the temple & builds it in 3 days, save Yourself. 

If You [are] the Son of God, come down from the cross. Likewise, also the chief priests [mocked] Him, with the scribes & elders & said, He saved others. He cannot save Himself. 

If He [is] the King of Israel, let Him come down now from the cross & we will believe Him. He trusted in God. Let [God] deliver Him now, if [God] will have Him. For He said, I Am the Son of God.] 

Why are you so [downcast,] O my soul. And why are you so [upset] within me? [Because of] your hope in God, I shall [still] praise Him, Who is the [Salvation] of my [appearance] & my God. 

[Psalm 45:5-6 Your arrows are sharp in the [hearts] of the king's enemies, [by which] the people fall under You. Your throne, O God, is forever & ever. Your [scepter] of Your Kingdom is a [righteous scepter.]
