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.

Isaiah 10:1-34 Those, Who Harm the: Needy, Poor, Widows & Fatherless

 

Those, Who Harm the: Needy, Poor, Widows & Fatherless

Isaiah 10:1-34                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[Distress for those, who declare,] write & [prescribe] unrighteous [& grievous orders;] to [deprive] the needy from [fair] judgment & to take away [what is] right from the poor of My people, [so] that widows may be their prey & they may rob the fatherless! 

And what will you do [on] the day of visitation, [when] desolation [comes] from far [away?] To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory? Without Me, they shall bow down under the prisoners & they shall fall under [those killed.] [Because of] all this, His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.] 

[Isaiah 24:21-22 And it shall [happen on] that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of [heaven] that are on high & the kings of earth, upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, [like] prisoners are gathered in the pit. And shall be shut up in the prison & after many days, they shall be visited, [a.k.a. punished.] 

O Assyrian, the rod of [My] anger & the staff in their hand, is [My] indignation. [Jeremiah 51:20 You are My battle ax & weapons of war. For with you, I will break in pieces the nations & destroy kingdoms.]

I will send him against a hypocritical nation & I will [put] him [in] charge against the people of My [anger,] to take the [plunder] & the [prize] & to [trample] them down like the [mud] of the streets. 

[2 Kings 17:6-8 [During] the 9th year of Hoshea, [Assyria's] king [captured] Samaia & carried away Israel into Assyria & placed them in Hallah & in Habor, by the Gozan River & in the cities of the Medes.

For it was so, that the children [people] of Israel had sinned against the Lord their God, [Who] had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king & had feared [respected] other gods, which they had made & [followed] in the [mandates] of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out from before the children [people] of Israel & the kings of Israel.] 

[All the same,] he [didn't plan this,] neither does his heart [intend this;] but it's [on] his heart to destroy & cut off [many] nations. For [God] says, Aren't My princes, [all] kings? Isn't Calno [like] Carchemish? Isn't Hamath [like] Arpad? Isn't Samaria [like] Damascus? 

As My hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose [carved] images [exceeded those] of Jerusalem & Samaria, [shouldn't] I have done to Samaria & her idols, [the same] to Jeusalem & her idols? 

[For this reason,] it shall [happen,] that when the Lord has [accomplished] His whole work upon Mount Zion & on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit, [a.k.a. offspring,] of the stout-[hearted] king of Assyria & the glory of his [arrogant] looks. 

For he says, By my wisdom & the strength of my hand, I have done it.  For I am [shrewd] & I have removed the [boundaries, a.k.a. landmarks] of the people & have robbed their treasures. [2 Kings 18:14-16 And king Hezekiah of Judah sent to Lachish, [Assyria's] king, saying, I have offended [you.] 

[Turn away] from me, [so] that [what] you put on me, I will [endure.] And [Assyria's] king, [charged] king Hezekiah of Judah, 300 talents of silver & 30 talents of gold. And Hezekiah gave [Assyria's king,] all the silver & gold found in the [Lord's] house & the treasures of the king's house. 

At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the [Lord's] temple & from the pillars [that] Hezekiah, [Judah's] king, overlaid & gave it to [Assyria's] king.] 

And I have put down the [residents] like a valiant man. And my hand has found the riches of the people, [like] a nest & [like someone] gathers eggs that are left. I have gathered all the earth & there [were] none that moved [its] wing, opened [its] mouth, or [chirped.] 

Shall the ax boast itself against [the lumberman, who chops] with [it?] Or shall the saw [elevate] himself against him, [who] shakes it [moving the saw back & forth?] As if the rod should shake itself against [those who] lift it up, 

Or as if the staff should lift itself up, as if it [weren’t] wood. Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, [sent] among His fat  ones, leanness. And under His glory, He shall kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire.

[Isaiah 37:33-37 Therefore, the Lord says [this about Assyria's] king, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come [in front of] it with shields, nor [put up an embankment] against it. By the [road] that he came, he shall return & shall not come into this city, says the Lord. 

For I will defend this city, to save it for [My] Own sake & for the sake of David, My servant. Then, the Angel of the Lord went [out] & [killed] 185,000 in the [Assyrian's] camp. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.] 

And the Light of Israel shall be for a fire & His Holy One for a flame. [Isaiah 60:19 The sun shall no [longer be] your light by day, neither shall the moon give light to you for brightness. But the Lord shall be to you an everlasting Light & your God & your glory.]

And it shall burn & devour [its thorn & sticker patches, all] in one day & shall consume, both the soul & the body & the glory of His forest & His fruitful field. And they shall be [like] when a [flag] bearer faints. And the rest of the trees shall be few, that a child [could] write [the number of] them. 

And it shall [happen on] that day, that the [rest] of Israel & [those] of Jacob's house, [who have] escaped, shall no [longer depend] upon him, [who struck] them [down,] but shall [depend] upon the Lord, in truth, the Holy One of Israel.

The [rest] shall return to the mighty God, even [the remaining] of Jacob. For [although] Your people, Israel [are many, like] the sand of the sea, [still] a remnant of them shall return. The [destruction] decreed, shall overflow [them,] with righteousness. 

[Romans 9:27-28  [Isaiah] also [cried out about] Israel, Though the number of the children [people] of Israel [are like] the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved. For He will finish the work & cut it short in righteousness: because the Lord will make [it] a short work upon the earth.] 

For the Lord God of Hosts, shall make a [destruction,] even a [planned destruction,] in the midst of all the land. Therefore, the Lord God of Hosts says this, O My people [who] dwell in Zion. [Don't] be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall [strike] you with a rod & shall lift up his staff against you, after the [custom] of Egypt. 

For a little while [still,] the indignation & [My] anger shall cease in their destruction. And the Lord of Hosts shall stir up a [whip] for him, according to the slaughter of Midian at the Rock of Oreb, [like] His rod was upon the sea, so shall He lift it up, after the [custom] of Egypt. 

[Judges 7:25 And they took 2 princes of the Midianites, Oreb & Zeeb. And they [killed] Oreb & they [killed] Zeeb at the [wine press] of Zeeb & pursued Midian. And brought the heads of Oreb & Zeeb to Gideon, on the other side [of] Jordan.] 

And it shall [happen on] that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder & his yoke from off your neck. And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing [oil.] 

[He has] come to Aiath & he [has] passed [on] to Migrom. [Isaiah 36:1 Now it [happened on] the 14th year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib, [Assyria's] king, came up against all the [fortified] cities of Judah & [captured them.]

At Michmash, he [stored] his carriages. They [have] gone over the passage. They have taken lodging at Geba & Ramah is afraid. Gibeah of Saul, [has] fled. Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim & [allow,] O poor Anathoth, to be heard [all the way] to Laish.

Madmenah is removed & the [residents] of Gebim gather themselves [together] to flee. [Yet,] he [remained] at Nob that day. He shall shake his hand against the Mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

[1 Samuel 22:18-19 And the king said to Doeg, You turn & fall upon the priests. And Doeg, the Edomite, turned & he fell upon the priests & [killed] on that day 85 people, [who] wore a linen ephod. And he [struck down] Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men & women, children, [the nursing,] oxen, [mules] & sheep, with the edge of the sword.]

[See,] the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, shall lop [off] the bough with terror & the high ones of stature, shall be [cut] down & the [arrogant] shall be humbled. And He shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron & Lebanon shall fall by a Mighty One.
