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 69:1-36 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician upon Sho Shannim.

Psalm 69:1-36            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] 

O God, save me: for the waters [have] come in [& threaten] my [life.] [Jonah 2:5 The waters [surrounded around] me, even to the soul. The [depths] closed [around] me & the [seaweed] were wrapped [around] my head.]

I sink in [the muddy depths,] where there is no standing. I [have] come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. I am [tired] of my crying. My throat is dried [out.] [My] eyes fail, while I wait for my God. 

* [Those who] hate Me without a cause are more than the hairs of [My] head. [*John 15:25 But this has come to pass, [so] that the Word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated Me without a cause.] 

[Those who want] to destroy Me, [mistakenly] being [My] enemies, are mighty. Then I restored, [what] I [didn't steal. [1 John 2:1-2 My little children, I will write these things to you, [so] you [don't] sin.

And if any man [sins,] we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous. And He is the [atonement] for our sins & not only for our's, but also for the sins of the whole world.]

O God, You know my foolishness & my sins aren't [hidden] from You. O Lord God of Hosts, [don']t let [those who] wait on You, be ashamed, [on account] of me. [Don't] let [those who] seek You be [disgraced] for my sake, O God of Israel. [Psalm 22:5 But I am a worm & no man; a [disgrace] of men & despised of the people.] 

* Shame has covered My face, because I have [put up with ridicule] for Your sake. [*Matthew 27:42 He saved others, [but] He can't save Himself. If He [is] the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross & we will believe Him.] 

* I [have] become a stranger to My brethren & an alien to My mother's children. [*John 7:5 For neither did His [brothers] believe in Him.]

*For the zeal of Your house has eaten Me up & the [criticism] of [those who disgraced] You, are fallen upon Me. [* John 2:13-17 And the Jews' Passover was at hand & Jesus went up to Jerusalem & found in the temple those [who] sold oxen, sheep & doves & the money changers sitting.

And when He had made a [whip] of small cords, He drove them all out of the temple & the sheep & oxen & poured out the changer's money & [threw over] the tables & said to [those who] sold doves, Take these things [from here & don't] make My Father's house, a house of merchandise. And His disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of Your house has eaten Me up.]

When I wept & [cleansed] my soul with fasting, that [became] my [reprimand.] I also made sackcloth my garment & I became [an example] to them. [Those who] sit in the gate speak against me & I was a song [for] the drunkards. 

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, in [an] acceptable time. O God, in the multitude of Your mercy hear me, in the truth of Your Salvation. [Isaiah 49:8 *The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You & [on] the Day of Salvation, I have helped You. 

And I will preserve You & give You for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause the desolate heritages [to be] inherited.]

Deliver me out of the [mud] & [don't] let me sink. Let me be delivered from [those who] hate me & out of deep waters. [Don't] let the [flooding waters] overflow me. Neither let the deep swallow me up & [don't] let the pit shut [its] mouth upon me.

[Psalm 40:1-2 I waited patiently for the Lord & He [leaned His ear] to me & heard my [out] cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit & out of [muddy] clay & [put] my feet upon a rock & established my goings.]

O Lord, hear me; for Your loving kindness is good. [Return] to me, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies. And [don't] hide Your face from Your servant; for I am in trouble. Hear me speedily. Draw near to my soul & redeem it. Deliver me, because of [my]  enemies. 

You have known My [disgrace,] shame & dishonor. [My enemies] are all before Me. [Matthew 27:27-31 Then, the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall & gathered to Him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped Him & put a scarlet robe on Him. 

And when they had [woven] a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head & a reed in His right hand. And they bowed [their knees] before Him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 

And they spit upon Him & took the reed & [struck] Him on the head. And after they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him & put His own [clothing] on Him & led Him away to crucify Him.] 

* [Disgrace] has broken My heart & I am full of heaviness. I looked for [someone] to take pity, but there [were] none & for comforters, but I found none. [* Mark 15:29-32 And [those who] passed by [expressed disapproval of] Him, wagging their heads & saying, Ah, You, [Who] destroys the temple & builds it in 3 days, save Yourself & come down from the cross. 

Likewise also the chief priests, mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He's saved others & He can't save Himself. Let Christ the King of Israel now descend from the cross, [so] that we may see & believe. And [those who] were crucified with Him, [slandered] Him.] 

* They also gave Me gall for My [food] & in My thirst, they gave Me vinegar to drink. [* John 19:28-30 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, [so] that the scripture might be fulfilled, said, I thirst. 

Now, there was [put] a vessel full of vinegar & they filled a sponge with vinegar & put it on hyssop & put it to His mouth. Therefore, when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished: and He bowed His head & gave up the ghost.] 

Let their table become a snare before them & [what] should have been for their [well-being,] let it become a trap. Let their eyes become darkened, [so] they [can't] see & make their [torso] continually shake. Pour out Your indignation upon them & let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.

[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out, without mixture into the cup of His indignation & he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels & in the presence of the Lamb.]

Let their habitation be desolate & let none [live] in their tents. [Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you [who kill] the prophets & stone [those who] are sent to you. How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen gathers her chickens under her wings & you would not! 

[Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me [after this, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord.]

For they persecute Him, Whom you have [struck] & they [speak] to the grief of those Whom you have wounded. [Isaiah 53:4-5 Surely He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows. Yet, we did [consider] Him [suffering, struck] & afflicted [by] God. 

But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The [punishment] for our peace was upon Him & with His stripes, we are healed.]

Add iniquity to their [sin] & let them not come into Your righteousness. Let them be blotted out of the Book of the Living & not be written with the righteous. [Revelation 13:5-9 And there was given to him a mouth speaking [arrogant] things & blasphemies. And power was given to him to continue 42 months.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His Name & His tabernacle & [those who] dwell in heaven. And it was given to him to make war with the saints & to overcome them. 

And power was given [to] him over all [families,] tongues & nations. And all [who] dwell upon the earth, shall worship him, whose names are not written, from the foundation of the world, in Book of Life of the Lamb slain.]

But I am poor & sorrowful. Let Your Salvation, O God, [put] me up on high. I will praise the Name of God with a song & will magnify Him with [giving thanks.] Also, this shall please the Lord better than an ox or [bull,] that has horns & [hooves.] 

The humble shall see this & be glad. And [those who] seek God, your heart shall live. [Psalm 22:26 The [humble] shall eat & be satisfied. [Those who] seek the Lord, shall praise Him. Your heart shall live forever.] 

For the Lord hears the poor & [doesn't] despise His prisoners. [Isaiah 61:1 *The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good [news] to the [humble.] He has sent Me to [bandage] up the broken hearted, to proclaim [freedom] to the captives & the opening of the prison to [those who] are bound.] 

Let the heaven & earth, the seas & everything that moves [in] them, praise Him. For God will save Zion & will [rebuild] the cities of Judah, [so] that they may [live] there & have it [as a] possession. The [descendants] of His servants shall inherit it. And [those who] love His Name shall [live in there.]
