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 30:1-33 Agur’s Words of Prophecy

 

Agur’s Words of Prophecy

Proverbs 30:1-33                                      Proverbs [in Smaller Chunks]

[These are] the words & even the prophecy of Agur, [Jakeh’s] son. [This] man even [spoke] to Ithiel & Ucal. Surely, I am more brutish [& ignorant] than any man & [haven’t] the understanding of a man. [Psalm 73:22 I was so foolish & ignorant. I was [like an animal] before You.]

I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the Holy. Who has ascended up into heaven, or descended? [Ephesians 4:7-10 But to everyone of us is given grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ. [For this reason,] He ascended up on high. He led [those] captive [from] captivity. 

(Now that He ascended, what is it, but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He, [Who] descended is the same also [Who] ascended up far above all heavens, that He might [fulfill] all things.)]

Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who [has tied up] the waters [like] in a garment? Who [has] established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name & what is His Son’s Name, if you [can] tell [me?]

[John 3:13-16 And no man has ascended up to heaven, but He, [Who] came down from heaven, even the Son of Man, [Who] is in heaven. And [like] Moses lifted up the [snake] in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up: [so] that whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. 

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, [so] that [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.]

Every Word of God is pure. He is a shield to [those, who] put their trust in Him. [Don’t] add to His Words, lest He [corrects] you & you [are] found [to be] a liar. [Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify to every man, [who] hears the Word of the prophecy of this Book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this Book. 

And if any man shall take away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God shall take away his [portion] out of the Book of Life & out of the Holy City & from the things, which are written in this Book.]

Two things I [requested] of you; [don’t deprive] me [of] them before I die. Remove vanity [a.k.a. conceit] & lies far from me. Give me neither poverty nor riches. Feed me with food, convenient for me, lest I [become] full & deny You & say, Who is the Lord? Or lest I [become] poor & steal & take the Name of my God in vain.

[Don’t] accuse a servant to his master, lest he curse you & [you’re] found guilty. There is a generation that [curses] their father & doesn’t bless their mother. There is a generation that [is] pure in their own eyes, [but aren’t] yet washed from their filthiness.

[Luke 18:12-14 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes [a.k.a. contributions] of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, wouldn't lift up so much as his eyes to heaven but [struck his chest,] saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one [who] exalts himself, shall be [humbled;] and he [who humbles] himself shall be exalted.] 

There is a generation O how [arrogant] their eyes are! Their eyelids are lifted up. [Isaiah 2:11-12 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled & the [arrogance] of men shall be [brought low] & the Lord Alone shall be exalted [on] that day. For the day of the Lord of Hosts shall be upon everyone [who] is proud & [conceited] & upon everyone who is lifted up, he shall be [humbled.] 

There is a generation whose teeth are [like] swords & the teeth [of] their jaw [are like] knives, to devour the poor from off [of] the earth & the needy from among men. 

The [leech] has 2 daughters, crying, Give, Give. There are 3 things that are never satisfied, [Yes,] 4 things [dont] say, [It’s] enough: The grave, the [childless] womb, the [ground] isn't filled with water & the fire that [doesn’t] say, [It’s] enough.

The [child's] eye that  mocks his father & [refuses] to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall [pluck] it out & the young eagles shall eat it. There [are] 3 things [that] are too wonderful for me. [Yes,] 4 that I [don’t] know. 

The [path] of an eagle in the air; the [path] of a [snake] upon a rock; the [path] of a ship in the midst of the sea & the [path] of a man with a [maiden.] [This] is the [path] of an adulterous woman. She [eats & wipes] her mouth & [says] I [haven’t] done [anything wicked.]

The [earth’s tranquility is taken away] for 3 things & for 4 things [that] it cannot bear: For a servant when he [is the ruler;] a fool when he is filled with [food;] for [an unfaithful] woman when she is married & [a] handmaid, [who] is [the] heir to her mistress.

There are 4 things [that] are [very] little on the earth, but are [exceedingly] wise: The ants are a people [a.k.a. a colony, that aren't] strong, yet they prepare their [food] in the summer. 

[Proverbs 6:6-9 Go to the ant, you [lazy person] & consider her ways & be wise. Which having no guide, [supervisor,] or ruler, provides her [food] in the summer & gathers her food in the harvest. How long will you sleep, O [lazy person?] When will you arise out of your sleep?]

The [rock badgers] are [a] feeble [bunch], yet they make their houses in the rocks; the locusts have no king, yet they all go [out] in [groups] & the spider takes hold with her hands & is in king’s palaces.

There are 3 things [that move] well, [yes] 4 are [regal in their walk:] A lion [that] is strongest among beasts & [doesn’t] turn away [from] any; a greyhound; a [male] goat & also a king, against whom there is no [uprising.] 

If you have done foolishly in [elevating] yourself, or if you have thought evil, [then] lay your hand upon your mouth. Surely the churning of milk [produces] butter & [twisting] the nose [produces] blood: so [does angrily] forcing [others] [produce quarrels.]
