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 130:1-8 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

A Song of Degrees, [a.k.a. Steps.]

Psalm 130:1-8            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

I have cried [out] to You, O Lord, out of the depths. Lord, hear my voice & let Your ears be attentive to the [sound] of my [prayers.] Lord, if You should [keep track of sins,] O Lord, who shall stand. 

[Revelation 6:16-17 And said to the mountains & rocks, Fall on us & hide us from the face of Him, [Who sits] on the throne & from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of His wrath [has] come & who shall be able to stand?]

But there is forgiveness with You, [so] that You may be feared [respected.] I wait for the Lord. My soul [waits] & I do hope [on] His Word. [Titus 3:4-7 But after that, the kindness & love of God our Savior toward man appeared. Not by [righteous deeds] we have done, but according to His mercy. 

He saves us, by the [cleansing, spiritual restoration] & renewing [by] the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit.] Which He abundantly shed on us, through Jesus Christ our Savior. [So,] that, [by] being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs, according to the hope of eternal life.] 

My soul waits for the Lord, more than [those who] watch for the morning. I say, more than [those who] watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord: for with the Lord there is mercy & with Him redemption is [plentiful.] 

[Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek you the Lord, while He may be found & you call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked [abandon] His way & the unrighteous man his thoughts & let him return to our God & the Lord & He will have mercy upon him, for He will pardon abundantly.] 

And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. [Titus 2:13-14 [While] looking for that blessed hope & the glorious [appearance] of the great God & our Savior, Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, [so] that He might redeem us from all [sin] & purify to Himself a [special] people, zealous of good [deeds.]
