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 20:1-6 The Year Tartan Came to Ashdod

 

The Year Tartan Came to Ashdod

Isaiah 20:1-6                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[During] the year that Tartan came to Ashdod, (when Sargon, [Assyria's] king, sent him,) & fought against Ashdod & [captured] it. At the same time, the Lord [spoke] by Isaiah, [Amoz'] son, saying, Go & [loosen] the sackcloth from off your [waist] & [take] off your [shoes] from your [feet.] And he did so, walking naked & barefoot. 

[Micah 1:6-8 Therefore, I will make Samaria [like] a [ruinous] heap [in] the field & [like] plantings of a vineyard. And I will pour down the stones [of it] into the valley & I will [reveal its] foundations. 

And all the [carved] images [of it,] shall be beaten to pieces & all the [gifts of unfaithfulness] of it shall be burned with fire. And I will [make] all the idols [of it a desolation,] for she gathered it [from] the hire [of being unfaithful like] a harlot & they shall return to the hire [like of an unfaithful] harlot. Therefore, I will wail & howl & I will go stripped & naked. I will make a wailing like the [jackals] & mourning [like] the owls.]

And the Lord said, Like My servant, Isaiah, has walked naked & barefoot 3 years for a sign & a wonder upon Egypt & Ethiopia. [Isaiah 8:18-19 *[Look,] the children whom the Lord has given me & I are for signs & for wonders in Israel, from the Lord of Hosts, [Who] dwells in Mount Zion, [a.k.a. Jerusalem.] 

And when they shall say to you, seek to [those who] have familiar spirits, [a.k.a. Those who call up the dead] & to wizards that [whisper] & mutter, shouldn't a people seek to their God? For the Living [not] to the dead?] 

So shall [Assyria's] king, lead away the Egyptians prisoners & the Ethiopians captives: young & old, naked & barefoot, even with their [rear] uncovered, to the shame of Egypt. 

And they shall be afraid of Ethiopia, their [hope] & Egypt, their glory. And the [residents] of [these coastal islands] shall say [on] that day, [Look,] such [are the people we had hoped for.] [Where] shall we flee for help to be delivered from [Assyria's] king & how shall we escape?
