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 9:1-21 Isaiah Foretells, Jesus IS the Light that Shines on Those in Shadow of Death

Isaiah Foretells, Jesus IS the Light that Shines on Those in the Shadow of Death

Isaiah 9:1-21                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

*[In spite of everything,] the [darkness,] shall not be [like what] was [during] her [affliction,] when [God] lightly afflicted the land of: Zebulun, & Naphtali, at first, & afterward more grievously [afflicted] her, by the [road] of the sea, beyond [the] Jordan [River,] in Galilee of the [Gentile] nations. 

[2 Kings 17:16-18 And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, & made [themselves molded] images, even 2 calves, & made a grove, & worshiped all the host, [a.k.a. stars, & constellations] of heaven, & served Baal. 

And they caused their: sons & daughters to pass through the fire, & [they] used divination, & enchantments, & sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 

Therefore, the Lord was very angry with Israel, & removed them out of His sight. There [were] none left, [except] only the tribe of Judah.]

*The people [who] walked, [a.k.a. followed,] in darkness, have seen a great Light.The Light has shined upon [those, who] dwell in the land of the shadow of death. [Matthew 4:15-17 The land of: [Zebulon, & Naphtali,] by the [road] of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 

The people [who] sat in darkness, saw [a] great Light, & Light [has] sprung up to [those who] sat in the region, & the shadow of death. From that time, Jesus began to preach, & to say, Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.] 

You [have] multiplied the nation, & [haven’t] increased [their] joy. [Their] joy before You [is] [similar] to the joy [during] harvest, & [like] men rejoice when they divide the [plunder.] For  You have broken: the yoke of his burden, & the staff [on] his shoulder & the rod of his oppressor, [like] in the [days] of Midian. 

[Matthew 11:27-30 All things are delivered to Me [from] My Father. And no man [knows] the Son, [except] the Father. Neither [does] any man [know] the Father, [except] the Son, & he to [whomever] the Son will reveal Him. Come unto Me, all you, [who labor,] & are heavy laden, & I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, & learn [about] Me; for I Am meek, & lowly in heart; & you shall rest [for] your souls, [a.k.a. lives.] For My yoke is easy, & My burden is light.]

For every battle of the warrior [has confusing] noise, & garments [covered with] blood; but [these garments] shall be [for] burning, [like the] fuel [for] [a] fire. [Isaiah 66:15 For [look,] the Lord will come with fire, & with His chariots like a whirlwind, to [give] His anger with fury, & His [correction] with flames of fire.]

*For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; & the government shall be upon His shoulder. And His Name shall be called: Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 

[Matthew 1:21-25 And she shall bring forth a Son, & you [shall] call His Name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins. Now, all this was done, [so] that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken [from] the Lord, by the prophet, saying, *Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, & shall bring forth a Son, & they shall call His Name: Emmanuel, which being interpreted is: God with us. Then, Joseph being raised from his sleep, did as the Angel of the Lord had [asked] him, & took unto him, his wife. And [didn't know] her [intimately] [until Mary] had brought forth her first-born Son: and [Joseph] called His Name: Jesus.]

There shall be no end of the increase of His government, & peace upon the throne of David, & upon His kingdom, to [command] it, & establish it: with judgment, & justice from [now on,] even forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts, will [accomplish] this. The Lord sent Word into Jacob, & it has [fallen] upon Israel.

And all the people shall know, even Ephraim, & the [residents] of Samaria, [who] say, In the pride, & [arrogance] of [their] heart, The bricks [have] fallen down, but we will [rebuild] with [cut] stones. The sycamores are cut down, but we will [replace] them [with] cedars. 

Therefore, the Lord shall set up the [enemies] of Rezin, [a.ka. Syria's king,] against him, & [combine] his enemies together. The Syrians [in front,] & the Philistines behind. And they shall devour Israel [like food] with open [mouths.] For all His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.] [Psalm 53:4 Have [those, who work sinfully,] no knowledge? Who eat up My people [like] they eat bread. They haven't called upon God.]

For the people, [don't] turn to Him, [Who strikes] them, & neither do they seek the Lord of Hosts. Therefore, the Lord will cut off from Israel [the] head, & tail, & branch, [a.k.a. powerful,] & [reed, a.k.a. powerless.] in 1 day. The ancient, & [honorable,] is the head; & the prophet, [who teaches] lies, is the tail. 

For the leaders of this people cause them to [go astray,] & [those who] are led by them are destroyed. [Matthew 15:13-14 But [Jesus] answered, & said, Every plant, [that] My heavenly Father [hasn't] planted, shall be [uprooted.] Let them alone. They [are] blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind [leads] the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.]

Therefore, the Lord shall have no joy in their young men, & neither shall [He] have mercy on their fatherless & widows; for everyone is [a] hypocrite, & [those who] [do evil,] & every mouth [speaks] [what is:] folly, [a.k.a. lack of good judgment.]

[Because of] all this, His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.] [Isaiah 54:7-8 For a [short time,] I have [abandoned] you; but I will gather you with great mercy. In a little [anger] I hid My face from you for a moment; but I will have mercy on you with everlasting kindness, [says] the Lord your Redeemer.] 

[Because] wickedness [burns like] the fire: it shall devour the [sticker & thorn] [patches,] & shall kindle, [a.k.a. ignite,] the thickets of the forest, & they shall [raise] up like smoke [drifts upward.] [Malachi 4:1 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.]

The land is darkened, [through] the anger of the Lord of Hosts,& the people shall be [like] the fuel of the fire. No man shall spare his brother. [Psalm 49:6-9 None of [those who] trust in their wealth, & boast themselves [about] the multitude of their riches; can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him. (For the redemption of their soul is precious, [a.k.a. priceless,] & [money] [ceases] [to have value] forever.)

And he shall [devour] on the right hand, & [still] be hungry, & he shall eat on the left hand, & they shall not be satisfied. Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm. [Jeremiah 19:8-9 And I will make this city desolate, [a.k.a. empty,] & [to be] [hissed] [at.] Everyone [who passes by there,] shall be astonished, & hiss, because of all [its] plagues. 

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their: sons & daughters, & everyone shall eat the flesh of his friend in the [battle, & extreme famine, which] their enemies, & [those who] seek their lives, shall straiten them, [a.k.a. cut them off from supplies, so they starve.] 

Manasseh, Ephraim, & Ephraim, & Manasseh. And they shall be together against Judah. [Because of] all this, His anger isn't turned away, but His hand is still [outstretched.] [Isaiah 11:13 Also, the envy of Ephraim shall depart, & the [enemies] of Judah shall be cut off. Ephraim shall not envy Judah, & Judah shall not [harrass] Ephraim.]
