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 102:1-28 Book# 4 of Psalms

 

A Prayer of the Afflicted, When He is Overwhelmed & Pours Out His Complaint Before the Lord.

Psalm 102:1-28            Book# 4 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O Lord, hear my prayer & let my [out] cry come to You. [Don't] hide Your face from me [on] the day when I'm in trouble. [Lean] Your ear to me: [on] the day when I call, answer me speedily.

For my days [have disappeared] like smoke & my bones are burned [like in a fireplace.] [James 4:14 [Since] you [don't] know what shall be [tomorrow,] what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time & then vanishes away.]

My heart is [struck down] & withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my [food, because] of the [sound] of my groaning bones [clinging] to my skin. I am like a pelican of the wilderness & I'm like an owl of the desert. I watch & [I'm like] a sparrow alone upon the housetop.

[My] enemies [ridiculed] Me all day & [those who] are mad against Me, [have] sworn against Me. [Matthew 26:3-5 Then the chief priests, scribes & elders of the people assembled together, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas & consulted, [so] they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him. But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.] 

For I have eaten ashes like bread & mingled My drink with weeping, because of Your indignation & Your [fury.] [Luke 22:41-44 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's [throw] & kneeled down & prayed, saying, Father, if You [are] willing, remove this cup from Me. [However,] not My will, but [Your's] 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.]

For You have lifted Me up & [thrown] Me down. [Isaiah 53:4-6 Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows, yet we [didn't care for] Him, [suffering, struck & afflicted by] God. But He was wounded for our [sins.] 

He was bruised for our iniquities & the [discipline] for our [peace] was upon Him. And with His stripes, we are healed. All we like sheep, have gone astray. We have [each] turned to our own way & the Lord has laid upon Him the [sin] of us all.]

My days are like a shadow that [decreases] & I'm withered like grass. But You, O Lord, shall endure forever & [the] remembrance [of] You to all generations.       [1 Corinthians 11:23-26 For I have received from the Lord [what] I also delivered to you, [so] that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread & when He had given thanks, He [broke] it & said, Take, eat. This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me. 

After the same manner, He also took the cup & when he had [eaten, said,] This cup is the New Testament in My blood. Do this, as [often] as you drink it, in remembrance of Me. For as often as you eat this bread & drink this cup, you do [proclaim] the Lord's death [until] He [comes.]

You shall arise & have mercy upon Zion & for the [appointed] time [has] come to favor her. For Your servants take pleasure in her [rocks] & favor [its dirt.] [Nehemiah 4:1-2 But it [happened,] that when Sanballat heard that we [rebuilt] the wall, he was [angry] & [became indignant] & mocked the Jews. 

And he [spoke] before his brethren & the army of Samaria & said, What [are] these feeble Jews [doing?] Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they revive the [rocks] out of the rubbish heaps, which are burned?] 

So the heathen shall fear [respect] the Name of the Lord & all the kings of the earth, Your glory. When the Lord shall build up Zion, He shall appear in His glory. He will [pay attention] to the prayer of the destitute & not despise their prayer. 

[Nehemiah 1:6-9 Let Your ear now be attentive & Your eyes open, [so] You may hear the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now, day & night, for the children [people] of Israel, Your servants, and confess the sins of the children [people] of Israel, which we have sinned against You. 

Both my father's house & I have sinned. We have dealt very corruptly against You & haven't kept the commandments, nor [mandates,] nor the judgments, which You commanded Your servant, Moses. 

I [beg] You, remember the Word that You commanded Your servant, Moses, saying, If you transgress, I will scatter you [around] among the nations. But if you [return] to Me & keep My commandments & do them, [even] though there were [some] of you cast out [into the furthest parts under] heaven, [still] I will gather them from [there] & will bring them into the place that I have chosen to [put] My Name there.]

This shall be written for the [generations] to come & the people [who] shall be created shall praise the Lord. For He has looked down from the [heights] of His sanctuary. 

From heaven the Lord did [see] the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to [free] those [who] are [scheduled for] death; to declare the Name of the Lord in Zion & His praise in Jerusalem.

[* Isaiah 49:8-10 The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You. And [on the] day of Salvation, I have helped You & I will [safeguard] You & give You for a covenant [contract for] the people to establish the earth & to cause the desolate heritages [to be] inherited. * [So,] that You may say to the prisoners, Go [out] & to those in darkness, [Show] yourselves. 

They shall feed in [paths] & their pastures shall be in all high places. * They shall not hunger, nor thirst. Neither shall the heat nor the sun [scorch] them: for He, [Who] has mercy on them, shall lead them, even He shall guide them by the springs of water.]

When the people & the kingdoms, are gathered together to serve the Lord. He weakened my strength in the [road] & shortened my days. I said, O my God, [don't] take me away in the [middle of my life.] 

Your years are throughout all generations. * Of [ancient times,] You laid the foundation of the earth & the heavens are the work of Your hands. [Genesis 1:1 In the Beginning, God created the heaven & the earth.]

They shall perish, but You shall endure. [Yes,] all of them shall [grow] old like a garment. You shall change them [like a robe] & they shall be changed. [Revelation 21:1-2 And I saw a new heaven & a new earth. 

For the 1st heaven & the 1st earth [had] passed away & there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down, out of heaven, from God, prepared [like] a bride [decorated] for her husband.] 

But You are the same & Your years have no end. The children of Your servants shall continue & their [descendants] shall be established before You. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches.

I Am the Root & the Offspring of David & the Bright & the Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come & let him, [who] hears say, Come. And let him [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever is willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely. ]
