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 118:1-29 Book# 5 of Psalms

Psalm 118:1-29            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

O give thanks to the Lord; for He is good, & because His mercy [endures] forever. Let Israel now say, that His mercy [endures] forever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that His mercy [endures] forever. Let [those who] now fear, [a.k.a. respect,] the Lord say, that His mercy [endures] forever. 

I called upon the Lord in distress; & the Lord answered me, & [put] me in a large place. The Lord is on my side. I will not [be afraid.] What can man do to me? [Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my Light & my Salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

The Lord is on my side. I won’t [be fearful:] what can man do to me? The Lord [takes] up my [side,] with [those who] help me. Therefore, I shall see my desire upon [those who] hate me. 

It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in princes. All nations [surrounded all around] me: but in the Name of the Lord, I will destroy them. They [surrounded around] me. [Yes,] they [surrounded around me: but  I will destroy them, in the Name of the Lord. They [swarmed around] me like bees. They are quenched [like] the fire [made from] thorns. For I will destroy them, in the Name of the Lord. 

You [have violently pushed] at me, so that I might fall: but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength & song, & [has] become my Salvation. The [sound] of rejoicing & Salvation is in the [tents] of the righteous. The right hand of the Lord [performs] valiantly. 

The right hand of the Lord is exalted, & [does] valiantly. I shall not die, but live, & declare the works, [a.k.a. miracles,] of the Lord.  [Matthew 15:29-31 And Jesus departed from [there,] & came [near] the Sea of Galilee, & went up into a mountain, & sat down there. And great multitudes came to Him, having with them those [who] were: lame, blind, [mute, disfigured,] & many others, & [threw themselves] down at Jesus' feet, & He healed them. In so much, that the multitude wondered, when they saw the [mute] speak, the [disfigured were] whole, the lame [walked,] & the blind [saw.] And they glorified the God of Israel.]

The Lord has [severely disciplined] me: but He hasn't given me over to death. [Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I [reprimand, & chastise.] Therefore, be zealous, & repent.]

Open the gates of righteousness to me. I will go into them & I will praise the Lord. This [is the] gate of the Lord, which the righteous shall enter into. I will praise You: for You [have] heard me, & [have] become my Salvation. *The stone which the builders refused [has] become the head stone of the corner. 

[Luke 20:17-19 *And He [saw] them, & said, Then, what is this that is written [in the Scriptures,] The stone [that] the builders rejected, the same [has] become the head of the corner? * [Whoever] shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on [whomever] it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. And the same hour, the chief priest & the scribes sought to lay hands on, [a.k.a. seize, Jesus;] & they feared the people. For they [realized] that He had spoken this parable against them.]

This is the Lord's doing, & it's [marvelous] in our eyes. This is the day [that] the Lord [has] made; we will rejoice & be glad in it. O Lord, I [beg] You save [us] now. I [urge] You, O Lord, [to] send [us] prosperity now. [Isaiah 49:8-10 *The Lord [says this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You, & [during] the day of Salvation, I have helped You. I will preserve You, & give You for a Covenant, [a.k.a. contract, for] the people to establish the earth, & to cause the desolate heritages to [be] inherited.] * [So,] that You may say to the prisoners, Go [out.] To [those who] are in darkness, [Show] yourselves. They shall feed, [a.k.a. eat,] in the [roads,] & their pastures shall be in all high places. *They shall not hunger, nor thirst. Neither shall the heat, nor the sun [scorch] them. For He, [Who has] mercy on them, shall lead them, & He shall guide them, even by the springs of water.] 

*Blessed [is] He, [Who comes] in the Name of the Lord. We have blessed You out of the house of the Lord. [Matthew 21:8-11 And a very [large] multitude spread their garments in the [road;] & others cut down branches from the trees, & [spread] them in the [road.] *And the multitudes that went [in front,] & [those who] followed, cried [out,] saying, Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is He, [Who comes] in the Name of the Lord; Hosanna in the Highest. And all the city was moved, when He [had] come into Jerusalem, saying, Who is this? And the multitude said, This is Jesus, the prophet of Nazareth, [from] Galilee.]

God is the Lord, [Who has shown] us Light. [John 1:6-12 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same [John] came for a witness, to [testify] of the Light, [so] that all men might believe [through] him. He wasn't that Light, but was sent to [testify about] that Light. 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. *He came unto His own, & His own [wouldn't receive] Him. But He gave as many as received Him, power to become the sons of God, even to [those who] believe [in] His Name.]

Bind, [a.k.a. Tie,] the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. [Isaiah 53:6-10 *All we like sheep have gone astray. We have, everyone, turned to his own [ways,] & the Lord [has] laid on Him the [sin] of us all. *He was oppressed, & He was afflicted, [still] He [didn't open] His mouth. He is brought [like] a lamb to the slaughter, & [like] sheep before [its] shearers is [mute,] so He [didn't open] His mouth. *He was taken from prison, & from judgment, [a.k.a. justice,] & who shall declare His generation? 

For He was cut off out of the land of the living, & for the [sins] of My people, He was [struck.] *And He made His grave with the wicked, & with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, & neither was any deceit in His mouth. *[Still,] it pleased the Lord to bruise Him. He [has] put Him to grief. When You [shall] make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, [a.k.a. descendants,] & He shall prolong His days, & the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.] 

You [are] my God, & I will praise You. You [are] my God, & I will exalt You. O give thanks to the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy [endures] forever.
