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 135:1-21 Book# 5 of Psalms

 

Psalm 135:1-21            Book# 5 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks]

Praise you the Lord. Praise you the Name of the Lord. Praise Him, O you  servants of the Lord. You, [who] stand in the [Lord's] house & in the [courtyards] of the house of our God. [Psalm 116:19 O Jerusalem, praise you the Lord in the [courtyards] of the Lord's house, in the midst of you.]

Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good. Sing praises to His Name, for it is pleasant. For the Lord has chosen Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] unto Himself & Israel for His [special] treasure.

[Malachi 3:17 And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of Hosts, [on] that day when I make up My Jewels. And I will spare them, [like] a man spares his own son, [who] serves him.]

For I know that the Lord is great & that our Lord is above all gods. [Mark 12:32-34 And the scribe said to Him, You have said the Truth well, [Teacher:] for there is one God & there is [no] other, but He. 

And to love Him with all [your] heart, all understanding, with all [your] soul & with all [your] strength & love his neighbor as himself, is more [important,] than all [the] whole burnt offerings & sacrifices. 

And when Jesus saw that he answered [wisely,] He said to him, You aren't far from the kingdom of God. And no man [dared] ask Him any question after that.]

[Whatever] pleased the Lord, He did that in heaven & [on] earth, in the seas & all the deep places. He causes [evaporation] to [go up] from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain & He brings the wind out of His [treasures.] 

[Job 38:25-27 Who has divided [a spillway] for the overflowing waters, or a way for [thunder's] lightning: to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is & on the wilderness, [in which] there is no man; to satisfy the desolate & [barren] ground & to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring [out?]

Who [struck] the firstborn of Egypt, of both man & [animal?] Who sent [signs] & wonders into the midst of you, O Egypt, upon Pharoah & upon all his servants. [Psalm 105:26-39 He sent Moses, His servant & Aaron, whom He had chosen. They [showed] His signs & wonders among them in the land of Ham. 

He sent darkness & made it dark & they didn't rebel against His Word. He turned their waters into blood & [killed] the fish.Their land brought forth [an] abundance of frogs, in the [rooms] of their kings. He [spoke] & [various] sorts of flies & lice came in all their coasts. 

He gave them hail for rain & flaming fire in their land. He [struck] their vines & also their fig trees & [broke] the trees of their coasts. He [spoke] & [numerous] locusts & caterpillars came without number. And [they] ate up all the [vegetation] in their land & devoured the fruit of their ground. 

He also [struck] the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. He brought [the Israelites] out, also with silver & gold. And there wasn't 1 feeble person among their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of the [Israelites] fell upon them. He spread a cloud for a covering & fire to give light in the night.]

Who [defeated] great nations & [killed] mighty kings; Sihon, the [Amorites'] king, Og, [Bashan's] king & all the kingdoms of Canaan. [Joshua 24:11-13 And you went over [the] Jordan [River] & came to Jericho. And the men of Jericho fought against you, the: Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites & the Jebusites & I delivered them into your hand. 

And I sent the hornet before you [came,] which [drove] them out from before you, even the 2 kings of the Amorites; but not with your sword, nor your bow. And I have given you a land for which you didn't labor & cities [that] you [didn't build] & you [live] in them & you eat of the vineyard & [olive groves that] you [didn't plant.]

And gave their land for an [inheritance,] a heritage to Israel, His people. Your Name & [memory of You,] O Lord, endures forever, throughout all generations. For the Lord will judge His people & He will [withdraw] Himself, [related] to His servants.

[Deuteronomy 32:36-38 For the Lord shall judge His people & [withdraw] Himself for His servants, when He sees that their power is gone & there is none shut up, or left. And He shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, [that] ate the fat of their sacrifices & drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up & help you & be your protection.]

The idols of the heathen are silver & gold, the work of men's hands. They have mouths, but they [don't] speak. They have eyes, but they [don't] see. They have ears, but they [don't] hear. Neither is there any breath in their mouths. [Those who] make them are [similar] to them. So is everyone [who] trusts in them. 

Bless the Lord, O house of Israel. Bless the Lord, O house of Aaron. Bless the Lord, O house of Levi. You, [who] fear [respect] the Lord, bless the Lord. Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, [Who] dwells [in] Jerusalem. Praise you the Lord.
