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 81:1-16 Book# 3 of Psalms

 

A Psalm of Asaph, to the chief Musician upon Gittith. 

Psalm 81:1-16            Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Sing aloud to God, our strength & make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob [a.k.a. Israel.] Take a psalm & bring the [tambourine here] & the pleasant harp & [lyre.] Blow the trumpet [for] the New [Moons] & on our solemn feast [days, at] the appointed [times.] 

[Numbers 10:10 You shall blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings, over your sacrifices of your Peace Offerings & also [on the days] of your gladness, your solemn days & in the beginnings of your months, [so] that they may be to you for a memorial before your God. I Am the Lord your God.]

For this was a [mandate] for Israel & a Law of the God of Jacob. This He ordained [for] Joseph [as] a testimony, when He went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I [didn't understand.] I removed his shoulder from the burden & his hands were delivered from the pots. 

[Exodus 6:6-7 [For this reason,] say to the children [people] of Israel, I Am the Lord & I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians & I will rid you out of their bondage & I will redeem you with [an outstretched] arm & with great [justice.] And I will take you to Me for a people & I will be to you a God. 

And you shall know that I Am the Lord your God, [Who] brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.] 

You called in trouble & I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I [tested] you at the waters of Meribah. Selah. [Exodus 17:6-7 [Look,] I will stand before you there upon the rock in Horeb & you shall [strike] the rock & water shall come out of it there, [so] that the people may drink. 

And Moses did so in the sight of [Israel's] elders. He called the name of the place Massah & Meribah, because of the [severe criticism from] the children [people] of Israel. And because they [tested] the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among us, or not?] 

O My people, hear & I will testify to you: O Israel, if you will [pay attention] to Me. No strange god shall be thee in you there & neither shall you worship any strange god. I am the Lord your God, [Who] brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide & I will fill it. 

[Psalm 103:5-6 Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord [delivers] righteousness & [justice] for all [who] are oppressed.] 

But My people wouldn't [pay attention] to My voice & Israel would [have nothing to do with] Me. [Deuteronomy 32:15-17 But Jeshurun, [a.k.a. Israel, grew] fat & [rebelled.] You [have grown] fat & have grown thick [skinned.] You are covered with [plumpness.] 

Then, he [abandoned] God, [Who] made him & [held] the Rock of his Salvation [in low regard.] They provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods. With abominations, they provoked Him to anger. They sacrifice to [demons,] not to God; to gods that [newly arrived,] whom your [forefathers didn't] fear [respect.] 

So, I gave them up to the [lusts] of their own [hearts] & they [followed] their own [advice.] [Acts 7:42-43 Then, God turned & gave them up to worship the [stars & constellations] of heaven; as it is written in the book of prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to Me slain [animals] & sacrifices [over] the space of 40 years in the wilderness? 

[Yet,] you took up the tabernacle of Moloch & the star of your god, Remphan & figures [that] you made, to worship them. And I will carry you away, beyond Babylon.] 

Oh, that My people had [paid attention] to Me & Israel had [followed] in My ways! I [would] have soon [defeated] their enemies & turned My hand against their adversaries. [Those who hate] the Lord should have [humbled] themselves to Him: [so] their time should have endured forever. 

[Revelation 22:12-15 And, [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give [to] every man, according [to] his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. 

Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are dogs, sorcerers & [sexual traffickers,] murderers, idolaters & [whoever] loves [to invent & tell lies.]

He [would] have also fed them with the finest wheat & with honey out of the rock. I [would] have satisfied you. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord isn't slack concerning His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient] to us, not [wanting] that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

But the Day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat & the earth & also the [things made] that are [in there] shall be burned up.]
