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 74:1-23 Book# 3 of Psalms

 

A Maschil [a.k.a. Maskil] of Asaph

Psalm 74:1-23           Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against the sheep of Your pasture? Remember Your congregation, [that] you have purchased of old. 

The rod of Your inheritance, [that] You have redeemed & Mount Zion, [where] You have dwelt. Lift up Your feet to the perpetual desolations, even all that the enemy has done wickedly in the sanctuary. 

[2 Kings 24:13 And he carried out [of there,] all the treasures of the [Lord's] house & the treasures of the king's house & cut in pieces all the vessels of gold [that] Solomon, [Israel's] king, had made in the temple of the Lord, [like] the Lord had said.]

Your enemies roar in the [middle] of Your congregations. They set up their [banners] for signs. [Like] a man was [once] famous, according [to his] lifting axes upon the thick trees. But now, they break down the carved work [of it] at once with axes & hammers. 

[2 Kings 18:16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the [Lord's] temple & from the pillars [that] Hezekiah, [Judah's] king had overlaid [with gold] & gave it to [Assyria's] king.]

They have defiled & cast fire into Your sanctuary & by [throwing] down the dwelling place of Your Name to the ground. [Jeremiah 52:12-13 Now, [on] 10th day, of the 5th month, which was the 19th year of Nebuchadnezzar [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, 

came the captain of the guard, Nebuzar Adan, [who] served [Babylon's] king, [toward] Jerusalem & burned the [Lord's] house & the king's house & all the houses of Jerusalem & all the houses of the [famous] men with fire.] 

They said [within] their hearts, Let us destroy them together. They have burned up all of [God's] synagogues in the land. [Psalm 83:4 They have said, Come & let's cut them off from being a nation, [so] that the name of Israel, may no [longer] be [remembered.]

We [don't] see our signs & there no [longer] is any prophet. Neither is there any among us [who] knows how long. [Matthew 23:37-39 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you, [who] kills the prophets & stones [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 [from now on, until] you shall say, Blessed is He [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord.]

O God, how long shall the adversary [criticize?] Shall the enemy blaspheme Your Name forever? Why [do] You withdraw Your hand, even Your right hand? [Pull] it out of Your [garment by Your chest.]

[Lamentations 2:3 He has cut off in His fierce anger, all the horn of Israel. He has drawn back His right hand, from [in front of] the enemy & He has burned against Jacob [a.k.a. Israel] like a flaming fire, which devours [all around.]

For God is my King of old, working Salvation in the midst of the earth. You [divided] the sea by Your strength. You break the heads of the [serpents] in the waters. 

[Exodus 14:21-22 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea & the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night & made the sea, dry land & the waters were divided. And the children [people] of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground. And the waters were a wall to them on their right hand & on their left.]

You [broke] the heads of Leviathan [into] pieces & gave him to be [food] to the people inhabiting the wilderness. You [cut] the fountain & the flood & You dried up mighty rivers. [Psalm 105:40-41 The people asked & He brought quails & satisfied them with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock & the waters gushed out. They ran in the dry places like a river.] 

The day is Yours & the night is also Yours. You have prepared the light & the sun. [Genesis 1:14-16 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night & let them be for signs & for seasons & for days & years. And God made two [large] lights. The [larger] light to rule the day & the lesser light to rule the night & He also made stars.] 

You have [put] all the borders of the earth. You have made summer & winter. [Acts 17:24-26 God, [Who] made the world & all things [in it;] seeing that He is Lord of heaven & earth & [doesn't] dwell in temples made with hands. 

Neither is [He] worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, [since] He gives to all, life & breath & all things. And has made all nations of men, of one blood, to dwell on the face of the earth & has [previously] determined the times appointed & the [boundaries] of their habitation.] 

Remember this, that enemy has [disgraced,] O Lord & that the foolish people have blasphemed Your Name. O [don't] deliver the [life] of Your turtledove into the multitude of the wicked. [Don't] forget the congregation of Your poor forever. 

[Isaiah 11:4 But with righteousness, He shall judge the poor & [repay] the meek of the earth with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod of His mouth & the breath of His lips & He shall slay the wicked.] 

Have respect [for] the covenant [contract.] For the dark places of the earth are full of the [homes of the cruel.] O [don't] let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor & needy praise Your Name. 

[Romans 8:35-37 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or the sword? As it is written, For Your sake we are killed all day long. We are [considered like] sheep for the slaughter. [No,] in all these things, we are more than conquerors, through Him, [Who] loved us.] 

O God, arise & plead Your Own [case.] Remember how the foolish man [scolds] You daily. [Don't] forget the voice of Your enemies. The [uproar] of [those who] rise up against You, increases continually.
