About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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.

Ecclesiastes 5:1-20 Think Before You Speak & Act

Think Before You Speak & Act

Ecclesiastes 5:1-20            The Book of Ecclesiastes [in Smaller Chunks]

Keep your foot when you [go] to God's] house. [Proverbs 1:15-16 My son, [don't] you walk in the [road] with them. [Hold back] your foot from their path. For their feet run to evil, & [hurry] to shed blood.]

And be more ready to hear than to give the sacrifice of fools. For they [don't] consider that they do evil. [1 Samuel 15:21-23 But the people took [from] the [plunder:] sheep, oxen & the [best] things, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal, which should have been [totally] destroyed. 

And Samuel said, [Has] the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings & sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? [See,] to obey is better than [sacrifices,] & to [pay attention] [is better] than the fat of rams. For rebellion is [like] the sin of: witchcraft, & stubbornness is [like] [the sin of:] iniquity, & idolatry. Because you, [a.k.a. king Saul,] have rejected the Word of the Lord, He has also rejected you from being king.] 

[Don't] be [impulsive] with your mouth, & [don't] let your heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven, & you [are] upon the earth. Therefore, let your words be few. [Matthew 6:7 But when you pray, [don't use vain repetitions, [like] the heathen do. For they think that they shall be heard for their speaking much.]

For a dream [comes from] a multitude of [busyness,] & a fool’s voice is known by [a] multitude of words. [Proverbs 10:19 In the multitude of words, there is [no lack of] sin. But he [who holds back] his lips is wise.]  

When you [make] a vow to God, [don't delay] to pay it; for He [has] no pleasure in fools. Pay [what] you [have] vowed. It is better that you [wouldn't] vow, than that you [would] vow, & not pay. [Deuteronomy 23:21-22 When you [shall make] a vow to the Lord your God, you [shall] not be slack, [a.k.a. slow,] to pay it. For the Lord your God will surely require it [from] you; & it would be sin [within] you. But if you [refuse] to vow, it shall [not] be sin [within] you.]

[Don't allow] your mouth to cause you [body] to sin. Neither [shall] you say [in front of] the Angel, that it was an error. [Why] should God be angry [with] your [excuse,] & destroy the work of your hands? [Proverbs 26:17-19 He [who passes] by, & [interferes] with [arguments, doesn't belong] to [the Lord God,] & is like [someone, who takes] a dog by the ears. [Like an insane] man, who [throws branding irons, & arrows,] & [causes] death. So is the man [who deceives] his [neighbor,] & [says,] [Aren't] I [just] joking?]   

For in the multitude of dreams, & many words, there are also [various] [types of] [vanity:] but you [should] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] God. [Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear, [a.k.a. respect,] God, & keep His commandments. For this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work, [a.k.a. deed,] into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it's] good, or whether [it's bad.]

If you [see] the oppression of the poor, in a province, & [the] violent: [diverting] [of] judgment & justice, [don't] marvel at the matter. [For He, [Who] is higher than the highest [kings,] [pays attention,] & [is] higher than they [are.] [Psalm 12:5 The Lord [says,] I will now arise for the oppression of the poor, & the [sighs] of the needy. And I will [put] him in safety, [a.k.a. free from danger,] from him, who [puffs] at him [in scorn, a.k.a. looking down on others.] 

[Additionally, the benefit] of the earth is for all. The king, himself, is served by the field. [James 5::17-18 [Elijah] was a man [with similar] passions as we [have.] And he prayed [sincerely,] that it might not rain, & it [didn't rain on the [land for] the space of 3 1/2 years. And [Elijah] prayed again, & the heaven gave rain, & the earth [produced its] fruit.] 

He, [who loves] silver, shall not be satisfied with silver, nor he [who loves] abundance [shall not be satisfied] with increase. This is also vanity, & [like trying to grab the wind.] [1 Timothy 6:10-12 For the love of money is the root of all evil. While some [have] coveted after [money,] they have erred from the faith, & have [inflicted] themselves with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee [from] these things, & follow after [what is:] [righteous, godly,] [& of] faith, love, patience, & meekness, [a.k.a. humility.] Fight the good fight of faith [in Jesus Christ.] [Grab] onto: Eternal Life, [which] you are also called [to,] & have [confessed] a good profession [of faith,] before many witnesses.] 

When goods increase, [those, who] eat them are increased. And what good is [that] to the owners [of it, other than seeing] them with their [own] eyes? [John 6:35 And Jesus said to them, I Am the bread of Life: & he, [who comes] to Me shall never hunger. And he, [who believes in] Me, shall never thirst. But I said to you, That you have also seen Me, & [don't] believe.]

The [working man’s] sleep is sweet, whether he [eats] little or much: but the abundance of the rich, won't [allow] [the rich person] to sleep. There is a [severe] evil, [that] I've seen under the sun, [specifically] riches, kept [for its] owners, to their [harm.] 

[Ecclesiastes 6:1-2 There is an evil, [that] I have seen under the sun, & it's common among men. A man to whom God [has] given riches, wealth, & [honor,] so that he [doesn't lack anything] of all he desires for his soul. Yet, God [doesn't give] him power to eat [of it,] but a stranger [eats] it. This is vanity, & it's an evil disease.] 

But those riches perish by [misfortune,] & he [fathers] a son, & there is nothing in his hand. He shall return to go, [like] he came [out] of his mother's womb, naked, & shall take nothing [for] his [work,] which he may carry away in his hand. [Job 27:16-17 [Although] he [heaps] up silver [like] the dust, & [prepares garments, like] the [abundant] clay; he may prepare it, but the just, [a.k.a. honest,] shall put it on, & the innocent shall divide the silver.] 

And this is also a [severe] evil, that in all [places] he shall go, [just] [like] he came. And what [benefit] [does] he [have, who has labored] for the wind? [Proverbs 11:28-29 He, [who trusts] in his riches shall fall. But the righteous shall flourish [like] a branch. He, [who troubles] his own [household,] shall inherit the wind. And the fool shall be [the] servant to [those] [with] wise [hearts.]

Also, all his days, he [eats] in darkness, & he [has] much sorrow, & [anger] with his sickness. [Look, what] I have seen. It is good, & [appealing] for [someone] to eat, drink, & to enjoy the good of all his labor, that he [engages in] under the sun, all the days of his life, [that] God [gives] him.

For it is his portion: [rewarded for all his labor.] Also, this is the gift of God: [to] every man, to whom God [has] given riches, & wealth, & [has] given him [the] power to eat [of it.] 

And to rejoice in his [labor,] & to take his portion: [rewarded for all his labor.] For he shall not remember much [from] the days of his life; because God [acknowledges] him [through] the joy [within] his heart.
