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.

Psalm 116:1-19 Book# 5 of Psalms

Psalm 116:1-19           Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I love the Lord, because He [has] heard My voice, & My [requests.] Because He [has leaned] His ear to Me, therefore, I will call upon Him as long as I live. [John 11:38-45 Therefore, Jesus, groaning again [within] Himself, [came] to the [tomb.] It was a cave, & a stone, [a.k.a. boulder,] lay upon it. Jesus said, You, take away the stone. Martha, the sister of [Lazarus, who] was dead, [said] to Him, Lord, by this time he [stinks,] for he [has] been dead 4 days. Jesus [said] to her, [Didn't] I [say] to you, that, if you [would] believe, you [should] see the glory of God? Then, they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, & said, Father, I thank You, that You [have] heard Me. And I knew that You always [hear] Me. But because of the people, [who] stand [near] by, I said it, [so] that they may believe that You [have] sent Me. And when He has spoken [this,] He cried [out,] with a loud voice, Lazarus, Come [out.] And Lazarus, who] was dead, came out, bound hand & foot with grave clothes. And his face was bound [around] with a napkin. Jesus [said] to them, [Loosen] him, & let him go. Then, many of the Jews, [who] came to Mary, & had seen the things that Jesus did, believed [in] Him.]

The sorrows of death [surrounded] Me, & the pains of hell [got] hold upon Me: I found trouble & sorrow. Then, I called upon the Name of the Lord; O Lord, I [beg] You, deliver My soul. [Luke 22:41-44 And when He was at the place, He said to them, Pray that you [don't] enter into temptation. And He was withdrawn from them about a stone's [throw,] & kneeled down, & prayed, saying, Father, if You [are] willing, remove this cup from Me, nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done. And there appeared an Angel to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly; & His sweat was [like] it were [large] drops of blood falling down to the ground.]

The Lord is gracious, & righteous. [Yes,] our God is merciful. The Lord [preserves, a.k.a. safeguards,] the simple [minded.] I was brought low, & He helped Me. O My soul, return to Your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with You.

[Matthew 11:27-30 All things are delivered to Me [from] My Father. And no man [knows] the Son, [except] the Father. Neither [does] any man [know] the Father, [except] the Son, & he to [whomever] the Son will reveal Him. Come unto Me, all you, [who labor,] & are heavy laden, & I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, & learn [about] Me; for I Am meek, & lowly in heart; & you shall rest [for] your souls, [a.k.a. lives.] For My yoke is easy, & My burden is light.]

For You [have] delivered My soul from death, [My] eyes from tears, & My feet from falling. I will walk before the Lord, in the land of the living. [*Psalm 27:12-14 [Don't] deliver Me over to the will of [My] enemies: for false witnesses, & [those who] breathe out [cruelties have] risen up against Me. 

I [would] [have] fainted, [except] I had believed, to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord, & be of good courage, & He shall strengthen your heart. I say, wait on the Lord.]

I believed. Therefore, I have spoken. [Mark 9:31-32 For [Jesus] taught His disciples, & said to them, The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men, & they shall kill Him. And after He is killed, He shall rise the 3rd day. But they [didn't understand] that saying, & were afraid to ask Him.]

I was greatly afflicted, & I said in My haste, All men are liars. [Matthew 26:59-61 Now, the chief priests, elders, & all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put Him to death. But found none. [Yet,] though many false witnesses came, [still] they found none. At last, 2 false witnesses came, & said, This Fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, & to build it in three days.]

What shall I [give] to the Lord for all His benefits toward Me? I will take the cup of Salvation, & call upon the Name of the Lord. [Luke 23:45-47 And the sun was darkened, & the veil of the temple was [torn] in the [middle.] And when Jesus had cried [out] with a loud voice, He said, Father, into Your hands I comment My Spirit. And having said [this,] He gave up the ghost, [a.k.a. died.] Now, when the Centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a Righteous Man.]

I will pay My vows to the Lord now in the presence of all His people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. [Revelation 20:4-6 And I saw thrones, & [those] [who] sat upon them, & judgment was given to them. 

And I saw the souls of [those who] were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, & for the Word of God. And [who] had not worshiped the Beast, & his image, & neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. And they lived & [ruled] with Christ 1,000 years. 

But the rest of the dead [didn't live] again until the 1,000 years were finished. This is the 1st resurrection. Blessed & holy is he [who has] part in the 1st resurrection. On such, the 2nd death has no power, but they shall be priests of God, & of Christ, & shall [rule] with Him 1,000 years.]

O Lord, truly I am Your servant. I am Your servant, & the son of Your handmaid, & You [have loosened] my bonds. [Isaiah 42:6-8 In righteousness, I, the Lord, have called You, & will hold Your hand, & will keep You, & give You for a Covenant, [a.k.a. contract, for] the people, for a Light [for] the Gentiles;

*To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, & [those who] sit in darkness out of the [prisons'] house. I AM the Lord. That is My Name. And I won't give My glory to another, & neither [will I give] My praise to [carved] images.] 

I will offer to You the sacrifice of Thanksgiving, & will call upon the Name of the Lord. I will pay My vows to the Lord now in the presence of all His people, in the [courtyards] of the Lord's house, in the midst of You, O Jerusalem. Praise you the Lord.

[Revelation 21:2-4 And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them, & they shall be His people. And God, Himself, shall be with them, & be their God. *And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain. For the [previous] things [have] passed away.]
