To the chief Musician upon Shushan Eduth, MIchtam, [a.k.a. Miktam,] of David, to teach; when he [fought] with Aram Naharaim, & Aram Zobah, when Joab returned, & [struck down] 12,000 [of] Edom in the Valley of Salt. |
Psalm 60:1-12 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O God, You [have] been displeased, & You [have] cast us off, & [have] scattered us. O [return] Yourself to us again. [Isaiah 54:7-8 The Lord your Redeemer [says,] For a [little] moment, I have [abandoned] you, but I will gather you with great mercies. In a little [anger] I hid My face from you for a moment, but I will have mercy on you with everlasting kindness.] |
You [have] made the earth tremble. You [have] broken it. Heal [its cracks;] for it [shakes.] [2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people, [who] are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, pray, & seek My face, and [return] from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, & will forgive their sin, & will heal their land.] |
You [have shown] Your people [difficult] things. You [have] made us drink the wine of astonishment. [Jeremiah 25:15-16 For the Lord God of Israel [said this] to me; Take the wine cup of this fury at My hand, & cause all the nations to whom I send you, to drink it. And they shall drink, & be moved [into captivity,] & be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.] |
You [have] given a banner to [those who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] You, [so] it may be displayed, because of the Truth. Selah. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] |
[So,] that Your beloved may be delivered. Save with Your right hand, & hear me. [Isaiah 11:11-12 And it shall [happen on] that day, that the Lord shall [put] His hand [in] again the 2nd time, [like a fisher's net,] to recover the [rest] of His people, [who are] left from: Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, & from the islands of the sea. And He shall set up [a banner] for the nations, & shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, & gather together the dispersed, [a.k.a. scattered,] of Judah from the 4 corners of the earth.] |
God [has] spoken in His holiness, & I will rejoice. I will divide Shechem, & [measure] out the Valley of Succoth. [Joshua 1:6 Be strong, & of good courage: for to this people you shall divide the land for an inheritance, which I [swore] to their [forefathers] to give them.] |
Gilead is Mine, & Manasseh is Mine. Also, Ephraim is also the strength of [My] head. Judah is My lawgiver. Moab is My washpot; I will cast out My shoe over Edom. You, Philistia, triumph, because of Me. Who will bring Me into the strong, [a.k.a. fortified,] city? |
Who will lead me into Edom? [Won't] You, O God, [Who has] cast us off? And You, O God, [Who didn't] go out with our armies? [Judges 2:12-14 And they [abandoned] the Lord God of their [forefathers, Who] brought them out of the land of Egypt, & followed other gods, of the gods of the people, [who] were [around] them, & bowed themselves to them, & provoked the Lord to anger. |
And they [abandoned] the Lord, & served Baal, & Ashtaroth. And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, & He delivered them into the hands of the spoilers, [who plundered] them. And He sold them into the hands of their enemies [all around] them, so that they couldn’t stand before their enemies any longer.] |
Give us help from trouble: for [what is worthless] [vanity] is the help of man. [Isaiah 41:29 [Look,] they are all vanity; their works are nothing; & their [molded] images, [a.k.a. idols,] are wind & confusion.] |
Through God, we shall [perform] valiantly. For it is He, [Who] shall [trample] down our enemies. [Joshua 10:8-11 And the Lord said to Joshua, [Don't] fear them, for I have delivered them into your hand. Not 1 man of them shall stand before you there. Therefore, Joshua came to them suddenly, & went up from Gigal all night. And the Lord [defeated] them, [a.k.a. the 5 kings, & the armies of the Amorites, in front of] Israel, & [killed] them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, & chased them along the [road] that [goes] up to Beth Horon, & [killed] them [all the way] to: Azekah, & Makkedah. And it [happened,] as they fled from [in front of] Israel, that the Lord cast down [large] [hail] stones from heaven upon them [all the way] to Azekah, & they died. There were more, [who] died with hailstones than [those] whom the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel [killed.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:
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.
