About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, 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 13:1-22 Vision of Babylon's, Yet to Come that Isaiah Saw

Vision of Babylon, Yet to Come that Isaiah Saw

Isaiah 13:1-22                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The burden, [a.k.a. vision,] of Babylon, [that] Isaiah, [Amoz'] son, [saw.] Lift  [yourselves] up a banner upon the high mountain, & exalt [your] voice to them, & shake [your] [hands, so] that they may go into the gates of the nobles. [Jeremiah 50:1-2 The Word that the Lord [God] [spoke] against Babylon, & against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah, the prophet. You declare among the nations, & [proclaim] [it,] & [put] up a [banner,] & [proclaim] [it,] & [don't hide] [it.] Say Babylon is taken, [a.k.a. captured,] & Bel, [a.k.a. idol,] is [confused,] Merodach is broken in pieces. Her idols are [confused,] & her images are broken in pieces.]

I have commanded My sanctified ones, & I have also called My mighty ones, [because of My] anger, even [those who] rejoice in My [excellence.] The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like a [large] [amount of] people: a tumultuous noise of kingdoms of nations gathered together. 

The Lord of Hosts [musters] the [army to] battle. They come from a far, [a.k.a. distant,] country, from the end of heaven, even the Lord, & the weapons of His indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused due to injustice,] to destroy the whole land.

[Revelation 14:9-10 And the 3rd Angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man [worships] the beast & his image, & [receives] his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink [from] the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture, [a.k.a. not watered down,] into the cup of His indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice.] And he shall be tormented with fire & brimstone in the presence of the holy Angels, & in the presence of the Lamb.] 

You, howl; for the day of the Lord is at hand; & it shall come [like] a destruction from the Almighty. Therefore, all hands shall be [feeble,] & every man's heart shall melt. They shall be afraid. [Pains,] & sorrows shall take hold of them. They shall be in pain [like] a woman [in childbirth.] 

They shall be amazed at one another, & their faces shall be [red, like] flames. [Watch,] the day of the Lord [comes,] cruel with both: wrath, & fierce anger, to [leave] the land desolate, [a.k.a. empty,] & He shall destroy the sinners out of it. [Malachi 4:1-2 For [watch,] the Day [comes] that shall burn [like] an oven; & all the proud, [yes,] all [who] do wickedly shall be stubble. And the Day that [comes] shall burn them up, [says] the Lord of Hosts, & it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But to you [who] fear, [a.k.a. respect,] My Name, the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go [out,] & grow up [like] calves [from] the stall.]

For the stars & constellations of heaven shall not give their light. The sun shall be darkened in [its rising,] & the moon shall not cause [its] light to shine [at night.] [Matthew 24:29-31 Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun shall be darkened, & the moon shall not give [its] light, & the stars shall fall from heaven, & the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then, the sign of the Son of Man in heaven shall appear, & all the tribes, [a.k.a. families,] of the earth shall mourn then. And they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power, & great glory. And He shall send His Angels with a great trumpet sound, & they shall gather together His elect, [a.k.a. chosen,] from the 4 winds, [a.k.a. corners,] from one end of heaven to the other.]

And I will punish the world for their evil, & the wicked for their [sinfulness.] And I will cause the [arrogance] of the proud to [stop,] & will lay low the [conceit] of the terrible.] [Isaiah 2:17-19 And the [pride] of man shall be bowed down, & the [arrogance] of men shall be made low. And the Lord alone shall be exalted [on] that day. 

And He shall [totally] abolish the idols. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, & into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, & the glory of His majesty, when He [arises] to shake the earth terribly.]

I will make a man more precious, [a.k.a. rare,] than fine gold; even a man [more rare] than the golden wedge of Ophir. Therefore, [on] the day of the wrath of the Lord of Hosts, & of His fierce anger, I will shake the heavens, & shall remove the earth out of [its] place. 

[Revelation 6:12-14 And I [saw] when he had opened the 6th seal, & [looked,] & there was a great earthquake; & the sun became black [like] sackcloth [made from goats'] hair, & the moon became [like] blood. 

And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even [like] a fig tree [casts its unripened] figs, when [it] is shaken [from] a mighty wind. And the heaven departed [like] a scroll when it is rolled together. And every mountain & island were [removed] out of their places.]

And it shall be like the chased [gazelle,] & [like lost] sheep, & no man [picks] [them] up.  Every man shall turn to his own people, & flee into his own land, [like chased gazelles.] 

[Judges 10:11-14 And the Lord said to the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Israel, [Didn't] I deliver you from the: Egyptians, Amorites, the children, [a.k.a. people,] of Ammon, & from the Philistines? Also: the Zidonians, [a.k.a. Sidonians,] Amalekites, & the Maonites, [who] [oppressed] you. And you cried [out] to Me, & I delivered you out of their hand. [Still,] you have [abandoned] Me, & served other gods. [For this reason,] I will no [longer] deliver you. Go, & cry [out] to the gods, [that] you have chosen. Let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.]

Everyone, [who] is found, shall be thrust through, & everyone, [who joins] them, shall fall by the sword. Also, their children shall be dashed to pieces [in front of] their eyes, & their houses shall be [plundered,] & their wives ravished. 

[Psalm 137:7-9  O Lord, remember the children [people] of Edom, who said, [Tear it down, tear it down, even to [its] foundation on [that] day [in] Jerusalem. O daughter of Babylon, who [is] to be destroyed, happy shall he be, [who repays you, [like] you [have] [done to] us. Happy shall he be, [who takes,] & [dashes] your little ones against the [rocks.] 

[Watch,] I will stir up the Medes against them, [who] shall not [care for,] silver, & they shall not delight in gold. Their bows shall also dash the young men to pieces; & they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb, [a.k.a. babies.] Their eye shall not spare children. 

And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' [excellence,] shall be [like] when God overthrew Sodom & Gomorrah.  [Revelation 16:19-21 And the great city was divided into 3 parts. And the cities of the nations fell. And great Babylon [was remembered] before God, to give to her the cup of wine of the fierceness of His [fury.] And every island fled away, & the mountains weren't found. And [large] hail out of heaven, fell upon men there, & every [hailstone, weighed] about a talent. And men blasphemed God, because of the plague of hail. For the plague [of it] was [exceedingly] great.]

[Babylon] shall never be inhabited, & neither shall it be [lived] in from generation to generation. Neither shall the [Arabians] pitch [tents] there. 

Neither shall the shepherds make their [flock] [lie] there. But the [wild animals] of the desert shall lie there ;& their houses shall be full of [dismal] creatures; & owls shall dwell there; & satyrs, [a.k.a. wild goats,] shall dance there. And the wild [hyenas from] the islands shall cry [out] in their desolate, [a.k.a. deserted,] houses, & [jackals] in their pleasant palaces. 

[Its] days shall not be prolonged, & [its] time is [soon] to come. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack, [a.k.a. slow, about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, & also the earth & the works, [a.k.a. things made,] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.]
