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.

Descriptions from the Married Couple, Compared with Jesus Christ & His Bride

Song of Solomon 4:1-16                 The Song of Solomon [in Smaller Chunks]

[Look,] you are [attractive,] my love. [See] you are fair. You have dove's eyes within your locks. Your hair is [like] a flock of goats that appear from Mount Gilead. Your teeth are like a flock of sheep that came up from the washing & are shorn even, [in which] everyone bears twins & none is [empty] among them. 

[Revelation 21:1-2 And I saw a new heaven & a new earth; for the 1st heaven & the 1st earth [had] passed away & there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared [like] a Bride for her Husband.]

Your lips are like a scarlet thread & your speech is [beautiful.] Your temples are like a piece of pomegranate with your locks [of hair.] Your neck is like the Tower of David, [built] for an armory, [on which] 1,000 shields & the [armor] of mighty men hang.

Your two breasts are like young [gazelles] that are twins, [that] feed among the lilies. The shadows flee away until daybreak. I will [go] to the mountain of myrrh & the hill of frankincense. 

You are [attractive,] my love, there is no [blemish within] you. Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse & look from the top Shenir & Hermon, from the lion's dens & from the mountains of the leopards.

[Revelation 21:10-12 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great & high mountain & [showed] me that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. And her light was [similar to] a most precious stone, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.]

You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse. You have ravished my heart with one [look] of your eyes & your neck, with one chain. How [appealing] is your love, my sister, my spouse! How much better is your love than wine! And [how much better is] the [fragrance] of your ointments, than all [the] spices!

O my spouse, your lips [drip like] the honeycomb. Honey & milk are under your tongue & the [aroma] of your garments is like the [aroma] of Lebanon. My sister, my spouse is [like] an [enclosed private] garden & spring shut [off] & a fountain [capped.]

Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits, [henna blooms, with spikenard. Spikenard, [a.k.a. similar to honeysuckle] & saffron, [a.k.a. like crocus,] calamus, [a.k.a. the aromatic reed] & cinnamon, with all the trees with all the [best] spices of: frankincense, myrrh & aloes. 

A fountain of [the] gardens, a well of Living Waters & streams from Lebanon. [Revelation 22:16–17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring of David & the Bright & Morning Star.

And the Spirit & the Bride say, Come. And let him [who hears] say, Come. And let him [who is thirsty,] come. And [whoever is willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.] 

O North wind, awake & you come south. Blow upon my garden, [so] that the [fragrance of] the spices may flow out [of it.] Let my beloved come into his garden & eat His pleasant fruits.
