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 55:1-23 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David to the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [a.k.a. Maskil.]

Psalm 55:1-23            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, [lend] Your ear to my prayers & [don't] hide Yourself from my [request.]  I make a [sound, as] I mourn in my complaint. [Be there for] me & hear me.   [Psalm 59:10-11 My God of mercy shall [safeguard] me. God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies. [Don't kill] them, lest my people forget. Scatter them by Your power & [humble] them, O Lord our shield.]

Because of the oppression [by] the wicked & in [their] hate [of] Me, in [fury,] the [enemy's] voice [hurls] [what is] [sinful] upon Me. [Mark 15:16-20 And the soldiers led Him away into the hall called Praetorium. 

And they together [called] the whole [unit.] And they clothed Him with purple & [wove] a crown of thorns & put it [around] His head & began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews!

And they [struck] Him on the head with a reed & spit on Him. And bowing their knees, worshiped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & put His Own clothes on Him & led Him out to crucify Him.]

My heart is [very] pained within Me & the terrors of death [have] fallen upon Me. [Luke 22:41-44 And He [withdrew] from them about a stone's [throw] & kneeled down & prayed, saying, Father, if You [are] willing, remove this cup from Me. [Even so,] not My will, but Yours be done. 

And there appeared an Angel to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly & His sweat was [like] it were [large] drops of blood falling down to the ground.] 

Fearfulness & trembling are upon Me & horror has overwhelmed Me. And I said, Oh, that I had wings like a dove! For then, I would fly away & be at rest. [Look,] I would then wander far [away] & remain in the wilderness. Selah.

I would [speed up] My escape from the windy storm & tempest. O Lord, I have seen violence & [discord] in the city. Destroy & divide their tongues. [1 Peter 3:10 For [those who] love life & [seeing] good days, let him [hold his tongue back] from evil & his lips [so they don't] speak [deceitfully.] 

They go [around] upon the walls day & night [spreading discord &] also [plotting] mischief. Sorrow [is] In the midst of [the city.] [Additionally,] wickedness is in [its] midst. Deceit & [deception don't leave] from [its] streets. 

[Matthew 26:3-4 Then, assembled together the chief priests, scribes & the elders of the people, to the palace of the high priest, who is called Caiaphas and consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.

For it wasn't an enemy [who dishonored] Me. [If it had been,] then I could have [tolerated] it. Neither was he [someone who] hated Me, [who magnified] himself against Me. Then, I would've [hidden] Myself from Him. But it was you, a man [My] equal, [My companion] & [My] acquaintance. 

[Luke 22:47-54 And while He [still] spoke; [saw] a multitude & he [who] was called Judas, one of the 12, went before them & drew [close] to Jesus to kiss Him. But Jesus said to him, Judas, [do] you betray the Son of Man with a kiss? 

When [those who were around] Him saw what would follow, they said to Him, Lord, shall we [strike] with the sword? And one of them [struck] the servant of the high priest & cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered & said, [Allow you [even this.] And He touched his ear & healed him. 

Then, Jesus said to the chief priests, [leaders] of the temple & the elders [who had] come to Him, [Have] you come out, [like] against a thief, with swords & [clubs?] When I was with you daily in the temple, you [didn't] stretch [out your] hands against Me; but this is your hour & the power of darkness. Then, they took Him & led Him & brought Him to the high priest's house. And Peter followed [at a far distance.]

We took sweet counsel together & walked in [the] company [into God’s] house. Let them [be seized by] death & let them go down into hell [alive.] For wickedness is in their [residences] & among them. As for me, I will call upon God & the Lord shall save me. 

I will pray & cry aloud: evening, morning & noon & He shall hear my voice. He has delivered my soul in peace, from that battle that was against me. For there were many [against] me. Because they [don't] fear [respect] God, therefore they haven't [changed.] God, even He, [Who remains] of old, shall hear & afflict them. Selah. 

[Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge & underneath [you] are the everlasting arms. And He shall [throw] out the enemy from before you & shall say, Destroy them.

He has broken [God's] covenant [contract] & has put [out] his hands against [those who are] at peace with him. [Acts 12:1-3 Now about that time, Herod, the king, stretched [out] his hands to [harass some] of the church. 

And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to [seize] Peter also. ([Those] were [during] the days of unleavened bread.)] 

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart. His words were [slicker] than oil, yet [his words] were [like] drawn swords. Cast your burden upon the Lord & He shall [support] you. 

He shall never [allow] the righteous to be [removed.] [Psalm 37:24 [Although] he [falls,] he shall not be [totally] down cast: for the Lord upholds him with His hand.] 

O God, but You shall bring [those] bloody & deceitful men down into the pit of destruction. [They] shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in You. [Proverbs 10:27 The fear [respect] of the Lord prolongs the days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.]
