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 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. 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. The Lord is gracious & righteous. [Yes,] our God is merciful. The Lord [protects] the simple [minded.] I was brought low & He [saved] me. O my soul, return to your rest; for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

[Isaiah 55:6-8 See you the Lord, while He may be found & you call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked [abandon] his [ways] & the unrighteous man, his thoughts. 

And let him return to the Lord & to our God & He will have mercy upon him; For He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts & neither are your ways, My ways, says the Lord.]

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 was greatly afflicted & I believed. Therefore, I have spoken. I said in my haste, All men are liars. [Psalm 31:22 For in my [hurry,] I am cut off from before Your eyes. [Still,] You heard the [sound] of my [prayers] when I cried [out] to You.] 

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. [2 Corinthians 6:2 (For He says, I have heard you in [an] acceptable time & [on] the day of Salvation I have [helped] you. [Look,] now is the [acceptable] time. [See,] now is the day of Salvation.)] 

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 & [authority to judge] was given to them. 

And I saw the souls of [those who] were beheaded for the witness of Jesus & for the Word of God & [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 I, the Lord, have called You in righteousness & will hold Your hand & will keep You & give You for a covenant [contract for] this people, for a Light of the Gentiles;

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