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 83:1-18 Book# 3 of Psalms

 

A Song or Psalm of Asaph.

Psalm 83:1-18            Book# 3 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O God, [don't] keep [silent.] [Don't] hold Your peace & [don't] be still, O God. [Psalm 88:3-4 For my soul is full of troubles & my life draws [near] to the grave. I am [included] with [those who] go down to the pit. I am [like] a man, [who] has no strength.]

For [look,] Your enemies make [an uproar] & [those who] hate You have lifted up [their heads.] [* Psalm 2:1-3 Why do the heathen rage & the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings & rulers of the earth take counsel & [put] themselves against the Lord & against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands [to pieces] & cast away their cords from us.]

They have taken [devious] counsel against Your people & consulted against Your hidden ones. [Psalm 31:18-20 Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly & [disrespectfully] against the righteous. 

Oh, how great is Your goodness, [that] You have laid up for [those who] fear [respect] You & [what] You have [done] for [those who] trust in You, before the sons of men! 

You shall hide them in the secret [places] in Your presence from the pride of man. You shall keep them secretly in a [shelter] from the [discord] of tongues.] 

They have said, Come & let us cut them off from being a nation; [so] that the name of Israel may be no [longer remembered.] For they have consulted together with one [accord]. They are [united] against You: 

The tabernacles of: [the Edomites,] the Ishmaelites, [the Moabites,] the Hagarenes, [the Gebalites, the Ammonites, the Amalekites] & the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre. Also, Assur [has] joined with them. 

They have [helped] the children [people] of Lot. Selah. Do to them [like] [You did] unto the Midianites; [like] to Sisera & [like] to Jabin, at the Brook of Kison: [who] perished at Endor. They became [like feces] for the earth. 

[Judges 4:21-23 Then, Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent nail & a hammer in her hand & went softly to him & [struck] the nail into his temples & fastened it into the ground. For he was [tired] & fast asleep. So, he died. 

And, [saw,] as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him & said to him, [look,] Sisera lay dead & the nail was in his temples. So, God [defeated] Jabin, the king of Canaan, before the children [people] of Israel, on that day.]

Make their nobles like Oreb & like Zeeb. [Judges 7:25 And they took 2 princes of the Midianites, Oreb & Zeeb. And they [killed] Oreb upon the rock [of] Oreb & Zeeb they [killed] at the wine press of Zeeb & pursued Midian. And brought the heads of Oreb & Zeeb to Gideon on the other side [of] Jordan.] 

[Yes,] [make] all their princes [like:] Zebah & [like] Zalmunna: who said, Let us take the houses of God in possession to ourselves. [Judges 8:18-19 Then [Gideon] said to Zebah & Zalmunna, What [type] of men were they, whom you [killed] at Tabor? 

And they answered, [Like] you are, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king. And [Gideon] said, They were my [brothers,] even the sons of my mother. As the Lord lives, if you had saved them alive, I wouldn't [kill] you.] 

O my God, make them like a wheel; [like] the stubble [in front of] the wind. [Like] the fire burns wood & [like] the flames sets the mountains on fire. So, persecute them with Your tempest & make them afraid with Your storm. 

Fill their faces with shame; [so] that they may seek Your Name, O Lord. Let them be [confused] & troubled forever. [Yes,] let them be put to shame & perish: [so] that men may know that You, Whose Name Alone is JEHOVAH, are the Most High over all the earth.
