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.

Proverbs 13:1-25 Instruction a Wise Son Hears

 

Instruction a Wise Son Hears

Proverbs 13:1-25                                   Proverbs [in Smaller Chunks]

A wise son hears his father’s instruction: but [someone who looks down on others doesn’t hear correction.] A man shall eat by the good fruit of his mouth: but the [souls of the unfaithful] shall eat violence. [Proverbs 12:14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: & the [reward] of a man’s hands shall be [given] to him.]

He, [who controls] his mouth [saves] his life: but he, [who] opens his [mouth] wide shall have destruction. [James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of [sin.] So is the tongue among our [bodily] members, [so] that it defiles the whole body & sets on fire the course of nature, and it [leads to the] fire of hell.]

The [life of the lazy hopes] & has nothing: but the [life] of the diligent shall be made [rich.] A righteous man hates lying: but a wicked man is [detested] & comes to shame.

Righteousness keeps him [whose way is blameless:] but wickedness overthrows the sinner. There [are those who] make [themselves] rich, [but] have nothing. There [are those who] make [themselves] poor, [but] have great riches. 

The [reward] of a man’s life are his riches: but the poor [does’t] hear [correction.] The light of the righteous [causes rejoicing:] but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out. 

[John 1:9-10 That was the True Light, [Who enlightens] every man, [who] comes into the world. He was in the world & the world was made by Him & the world [didn't know] Him.] 

[Arguments] come only by pride: but wisdom is with the well advised. Wealth gotten by [dishonesty] shall be [reduced:] but he [who gathers wealth] by [work] shall increase. 

The heart [is] made sick, [when what is hoped for is delayed,] but when [what was desired] comes, it is a Tree of Life. [Revelation 2:7 He [who has] an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches, To him, [who] overcomes, I will give to eat [from] the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.]

[Whoever] despises the Word [of God] shall be destroyed: but he [who] fears [respects] the [commandments] shall be rewarded. The Law of the wise is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death. [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 & Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And 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. ]

Good understanding, [provides] favor: but the [path] of the [sinners] is hard. Every [cautious] man [acts] with knowledge: but a fool [makes apparent] his [lack of good judgment.] A wicked messenger falls into [trouble:] but a faithful ambassador [leads to] health. 

[Those who] refuse instruction shall [have] poverty & shame: but he [who pays attention to correction] shall be honored. [When] the desire [is] accomplished [it] is sweet to the soul: but fools [consider it an] abomination to [stop from being] evil. 

He [who walks] with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Sinners pursue evil: but good shall be repaid to the righteous. A good man leaves an inheritance to his [grandchildren] & the wealth of the sinner is [stored away] for the [righteous.] 

[Job 27:16-17 Though he [heaps] up silver [like] the dust & [prepares clothing like all the] clay: He may prepare it, but the [righteous] shall put [the clothing] on & the innocent shall divide the silver.]

[There] is much food [through the plowing] of the poor: but for [the lack] of [good] judgment, [what they have] is destroyed.

He, [who] spares his rod, hates his son: but he, [who] loves his son, [punishes] him [as needed.] [Revelation 3:19-22 I [reprimand & chastise] as many as I love. Therefore, be zealous & repent. [Watch,] I stand at the door & knock. 

If any man [hears] My voice & opens the door, I will come in to him & will [dine] with him & he with Me. To him, [who] overcomes, I will grant to sit with Me [on] My throne, even [like] I overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne. He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.]

The righteous eat to [satisfy] his soul: but the [stomach] of the wicked shall [be hungry.] [Psalm 84:11 For the Lord God is a sun & shield. The Lord will give grace & glory & He won't withhold [any] good thing, from [those who follow righteously.]
