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 97:1-12 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

Psalm 97:1-12            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [rules;] let the earth rejoice. Let the multitude of [coastal islands] be glad [of it.] Clouds & darkness are [around] Him. Righteousness & [justice] are [residence] of His throne.

[Exodus 19:16-20 And it [happened] on the 3rd day in the morning that thunders, lightnings & thick [clouds were] upon the [mountain.] And the [sound] of the trumpet [was exceedingly] loud; so, that all the people [who were] in the camp trembled. 

And Moses brought [forward] the people out of the camp to meet with God. They stood at the [bottom] part of the [mountain.] And Mount Sinai was [totally smokey,] because the Lord  [went down] upon it in fire & [its] smoke [went up like] the smoke of a furnace & the whole [mountain] quaked greatly.

And when the trumpet sounded long, [it grew] louder & louder. Moses [spoke] & God answered [Moses] by voice. And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on top of the [mountain] & the Lord called Moses up to the top of the [mountain] & Moses went up.] 

A fire goes before Him & burns up His enemies [all around.] His lightnings, [light up] the world. The earth saw & trembled. The hills melted like wax in the [Lord's] presence. 

The heavens declare His righteousness & all the people see His glory. All [those who] serve [carved] images, [who] boast themselves of idols [are confused:] worship [the Lord God,] all you gods. 

[Exodus 20:4-5 You shall not make [for yourself] any [carved] image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth [below,] or that is in the water under the earth. 

You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them: for I, the Lord your God, Am a jealous God, visiting the [sin] of the fathers upon the children [until] the 3rd & 4th generation of [those who] hate Me.] 

Zion heard & was glad & the daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of Your judgments, O Lord. For You, Lord, are high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. 

[Psalm 115:4-9 Their idols are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. They have noses, but they [don't] smell. They have hands, but they [don't touch.] 

They have feet, but they [don't] walk. Neither [do] they speak through their throat. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone [who] trusts in them. O Israel, you trust in the Lord. He is their help & their shield.] 

You [who] love the Lord, hate evil. He [safeguards] the [lives] of His saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is [distributed] for the righteous & gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous. At the remembrance of His holiness, give thanks.
