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.

Song of Solomon 1:1-17 Solomon's Love for the Shepherdess, Compared with His Love for The Lord God

 

Solomon's Love for the Shepherdess Compared with His Love for The Lord God

Song of Solomon 1:1-17                 The Song of Solomon [in Smaller Chunks]

The song of songs, which is Solomon's. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for your love is better than wine. Your name is [like] ointment poured out, because the [fragrance] of your [nice] ointments. Therefore, the virgins do love you. 

[Esther 2:12 Now, when every maid's turn [had] come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after she had been 12 months, according to the [custom] of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [that is] 6 months with oil of myrrh & 6 months with sweet [fragrances] & other things for purifying the women.)] 

[Lure] me & we will run after you. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be [happy] & rejoice in You. We will remember Your love more than wine, the [righteous] love You. 

[John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God [didn't send] His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through Him might be saved.] 

I am black, but [lovely,] O you daughter of Jerusalem, [like] the tents of Kedar, [like] the curtains of Solomon. [Don't] look upon me, because I am black, because the sun has [tanned] me. My mother's children were angry with me. They made me the keeper of the vineyards; but I haven't kept my own vineyard. 

O you, whom my soul loves, tell me where you feed your flocks & make them rest at noon. For why should I be [like someone who goes astray] by the flocks of your companions? O you fairest among women, If you [don't] know, go your way, [by the footprints] of the flock & feed your [kid goats next to] the shepherd's tents.

O my love, I have compared you to a company of horses in Pharaoh's chariots. Your cheeks are [lovely,] with rows of jewels & chains of gold [around] your neck. We will make you borders with gold, with silver studs. While the king sits at his table, my [perfume's fragrance drifts there.]

My well beloved is [precious like] a bundle of myrrh to me. He shall lie [between] my breasts all night. My beloved is [precious] to me [like] a cluster of [henna blossoms] in the vineyards of En Gedi. 

[Look,] you are fair, my love. [See,] you have dove's eyes & are fair. [Look,] my beloved, you are [handsome,] my beloved, [yes] pleasant. Also, our bed [of grass,] is green. The beams of our house [outdoors,] are cedar & our rafters [are] of fir.
