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 71:1-24 Book# 2 of Psalms

 

Psalm 71:1-24            Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, I put my trust in You. Let me never be put to [shame.] [Psalm 25:2-3 O my God, I trust in You. Let me not be ashamed & [don't] let [my] enemies triumph over me. [Yes,] let none [who] wait on You be ashamed. Let [those] be ashamed [who sin] without cause.]

In Your righteousness, deliver me & [have] me escape. [Lean] Your ear to [hear] me & save me. Be You my strong [place to reside, that] I may continually [visit.]  You have given [the command] to save me, for You are my Rock & my Fortress. 

O my God, deliver me out of the hand of the wicked & out of the hand of the unrighteous & cruel man. For You, Lord, are my hope, O God. From my youth, my trust [is in] You. 

You [are] He, [Who] took me out of my mother's [stomach.] From the womb, I have been [upheld & supported] by You. Continually, my praise shall be of You. But You are my strong refuge. I am [like] a wonder to many. [Isaiah 8:18-19 [Look,] the children whom the Lord has given me & I are for signs & for wonders in Israel, from the Lord of Hosts, [Who] dwells in Zion.

And when they shall say to you, Seek to [those who] have familiar spirits & to wizards [who moan] & mutter. Shouldn't people seek their God? For the Living, [not] to the dead?]

All the day, let my mouth be filled with Your praise & with honor [for] You. [Don't abandon] me when my strength fails & [don't] cast me off in the time of old age.

For [my] enemies speak against me & [those who lie in] wait for my [life, take counsel together, saying, God has [abandoned] Him. [Pursue & capture] him, for there [are] none to deliver him.] [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 Ciaphas & consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] to kill Him.] 

O God, [don't] be far from Me. O my God, [hurry] for My help. Let [those who] are [enemies] to My [life] be [confused & destroyed.] Let [those who] seek My [harm] be covered with [disgrace] & dishonor. 

[Mark 15:30-32 Save Yourself & come down from the cross. Likewise, also. The chief priests, mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others. He can’t save Himself. Let Christ the King of Israel, [come down] now from the cross, [so] that we may see & believe. And [those who] were crucified with Him, [ridiculed] Him.]  

But I will continually praise You & yet will hope more & more. My mouth shall [declare] Your [unlimited] righteousness & Your Salvation all day [long.] [Psalm 98:2-3 The Lord has made known His Salvation. He has openly [shown] His righteousness in the sight of the heathen.

He has remembered His mercy & truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the Salvation of our God.]

I will mention Your righteousness, only Yours. And I will go in the strength of the Lord God. You have taught me from my youth, O God & [up until now,] I have declared Your wondrous works. [Psalm 105:38-41 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 bread [from] heaven. He opened the rock & waters gushed out & they ran in the dry places like a river.] 

Now, when I'm old & also grayheaded, O God, [don't abandon] me; until I have [declared] Your strength to this generation & Your power to everyone [who] is to come. Very high is Your righteousness, O God, [Who] has also done great things. 

O God, who is [similar] to You! [Psalm 35:10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is [similar] to You, [Who] delivers the poor from him, [who] is too strong for him. [Yes,] the poor & needy from him [who plunders] him?] 

You, [Who] have [shown] Me [large & serious] troubles, shall [bring Me to life] again, from the depths of the earth. [Mark 16:6-7 *And he said to them, [Don’t be afraid:] You seek Jesus of Nazareth, [Who] was crucified. He is risen. He isn’t here. [See,] the place where they laid Him. *But go [on] your way & tell His disciples & Peter, that He goes before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him,  [like] He said to you.]

You shall comfort me on every side & increase my [significance.] I will also praise You, even Your Truth, with the [lyre,] O my God. I will sing to You with the harp, O You Holy One of Israel. [John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I Am the Way, the Truth & the Life. No man comes to the Father, [except] by Me.] 

My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to You & my soul, which You have redeemed. For [those are confused, who] seek My [harm,] for they are brought to shame & My [mouth] shall also talk of Your righteousness all day long.
