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 24:1-23 The City of Confusion is Broken Down

The City of Confusion is Broken Down

Isaiah 24:1-23                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[Watch,] the Lord [makes] the earth: empty, & waste [lands,] & [turns] it [topsy-turvy, a.k.a. upside down,] & [scatters its] inhabitants abroad. [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.]

It shall be, [like] [it is] with people, & [also] with the: priest, [like] with the servant, [also] with his master, [like] with the maid, [also] with her mistress, [like] with the [customer, also] with the [merchant, like] with the lender, [also] with the borrower, [like] with the taker of usury, [a.k.a. who charges high rates of interest,] & [also] with the giver of usury, [a.k.a. who pays the high rates of interest,] to him. 

[Ezekiel 6:6-8 In all your dwelling places, the cities shall be laid [to] waste, & the high places shall be desolate. [So,] that your altars may be laid [to] waste, [a.k.a. destroyed.] And your idols may be broken & [ended,] & your images may be cut down, & your works may be abolished. 

And the [dead] shall fall in the midst of you, & you shall know that I Am the Lord. Yet, I will leave a remnant, [so] that you may have some, [who] shall escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.] 

The land shall be [totally] emptied, & [totally plundered.] For the Lord [has] spoken this Word. The earth [mourns] & [fades] away, [a.k.a. slowly vanishes.] The world [languishes, a.k.a. becomes weak,] & [fades] away. The [arrogant] people of the earth, [become feeble.] 

[Isaiah 25:11 And [the Lord] shall spread [out] His hands in the midst of them, [like] he, [who swims spreads out] his hands to swim. And He shall bring down their pride, [along] with the [plunder from] their hands.] 

The earth is also defiled under [its] inhabitants; because they have [sinned against] the Laws, & changed the [rules,] & [have] broken the everlasting covenant, [a.k.a. contract.] [Daniel 7:24-26 And the 10 horns out of this kingdom are 10 kings that shall arise, [a.k.a. emerge.] And another shall [emerge] after them, & he shall be [different] from the 1st, & he shall [defeat] 3 kings. 

And he shall speak [arrogant] words against the Most High, & shall wear out the saints of the Most High, & think to change the: times, & Laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time, + times, + the dividing of time [in ½.] But the judgment shall sit, [a.k.a. stand,] & they shall take away his dominion, to consume, & to destroy it [until] the end.] 

Therefore, the curse [has] devoured the earth, & [those who] dwell [in there] are desolate. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, & few men [are] left. The new wine [mourns,] the vine [withers,] & all the merry-hearted do sigh. 

[Jeremiah 44:8 In that you provoke Me to [anger] with the works [made] [from] your hands, & burning incense to other gods in the land of Egypt, [where] you [have] gone to dwell, [so] that you may cut yourselves off, & that you might be a curse, & a [disgrace] among all nations of the earth?] 

The [joyfulness] of[ tambourines stops,] & the [sound] of [those who] rejoice [ends.] The joy of the harp [ceases.] They shall not drink wine with a song; & strong drink shall be bitter to [those who] drink it. The city of confusion is broken down: & every house is shut up, [a.k.a, closed off, so] that no man may come in [it.] 

There is [an out] [cry] for wine in the streets. All joy is darkened, & the [happiness] of the land is gone. In the city, desolation is left, & the [gates are struck] with destruction. 

When it shall be [like] [this] in the midst of the land among the people, [it] shall be [like] the shaking of an olive tree, & [like] the gleaning of grapes, when the vintage is done. [Isaiah 17:6 Yet, grapes [for] gleaning shall be left in it, [like] the shaking of an olive tree, & 2 or 3 berries [are left] in the top of the [highest] bough, & 4 or 5 in the [outer] fruitful branches [of it, says] the Lord God of Israel.]

They shall lift up their [voices,] & they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, & they shall cry [out] [loudly] from the sea. [Psalm 107:27-31 They reel [back, & forth,] & stagger like a [drunk] man, & are at their wit's end. Then, in their trouble, they cry [out] to the Lord, & He [brings] them out of their [distress.] He [makes] the storm calm, so that the waves are still. Then, they are glad, because they [are peaceful,] so He [brings] them to their desired [harbor.] Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, & for His wonderful works, [a.k.a. miracles, for] the children of men!]

[For this reason,] you glorify the Lord in the [dawning light,] even the Name of the Lord God of Israel in the [coastal islands] of the sea. From the [most distant] part of the earth, we have heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My [thinness,] my [thinness,] Woe unto me! 

The treacherous [merchants] have dealt treacherously. [Yes,] the [deceitful merchants] have [behaved] very [untrustworthy.] [Isaiah 33:1 Woe, [a.k.a. Distress,] to you [who plunder,] & you [weren't plundered,] & [those who behave deceptively,] & they [didn’t behave deceptively] with you! When you [shall stop plundering,] you [shall] be [plundered,] & when you [shall finish dealing with deceit,] they shall [deal deceitfully] with you.] 

Fear, the pit, [a.k.a. grave,] & the snare, [a.k.a. trap,] are upon you, O [inhabitants] of the earth. [Jeremiah 48:35-36 The Lord [says, Additionally,] I will cause him [who] [makes] [offerings] in the high places, & him [who burns] incense to his gods, to [stop] in Moab. Therefore, [My] heart shall sound like pipes for Moab, & [My] heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: because the riches that he [has] gotten [have] perished.]

And it shall [happen,] that he [who flees] from the [sound] of the fear, shall fall into the pit. And he [who] comes up out of the [middle] of the pit, shall be [caught] in the [trap.] For the windows from on high are open, & the foundations of the earth shake. [Isaiah 29:6 You [shall] be visited [by] the Lord of Hosts with thunder, with earthquake, [loud] noise, with [a] storm & tempest, & the flame of devouring fire.] 

The earth is [totally] broken down. The earth is [exceedingly] shaken, & is [totally] dissolved. [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.]

The earth shall real [back & forth] like a drunkard, & shall be removed like [an old broken-down] cottage, & the [sins of it,] shall be heavy upon it. And it shall fall, & not rise again. [Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven & a new earth. For the 1st heaven & the 1st earth [had] passed away. And there was no more sea.] 

And it shall [happen on] that day, that the Lord shall punish the [hosts, a.k.a. armies,] of the high ones, that are on high, & the kings of the earth, upon the earth. [Revelation 19:19-20 *And I saw the beast, & the kings of the earth, & their armies, gathered together to make war against Him, [Who] sat on the horse, & against His army. And the beast was taken, & the false prophet with him, [who brought about] miracles before him, with which he deceived [those who] had received the Mark of the Beast, & [those who] worshiped his image. These were both cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.]

And they shall be gathered together, [like] prisoners are gathered in the pit, & shall be shut up in the prison, & after many days, they shall be visited, [a.k.a. punished.] [Revelation 20:1-3 And I saw an Angel come down from heaven, having the key [to] the bottomless pit, & a [large] chain in his hand. And he laid hands on, [a.k.a. seized,] the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, & Satan, & bound him 1,000 years, & [threw] him into the bottomless pit. And shut him up, & [put] a seal upon him, [so] that he should no [longer] deceive the nations, [until] the 1,000 years [would] be fulfilled. And after that, he must be [loosened] a little [while.]

Then, the moon shall be [confused,] & the sun ashamed, when the Lord of Hosts shall [rule] in Mount Zion, & in Jerusalem, & before the ancients gloriously. [Revelation 21:22-25 *And I saw no Temple [in there.] For the Lord God Almighty, & the Lamb are the Temple of it. *And the city had no need of the sun, & neither of the moon, to shine in it. For the glory of God did [enlighten] it, & the Lamb is the Light [of it.] And [those] nations which are saved, shall walk in the light of it. And the kings of the earth, [bring] their glory & [honor] into it. And [its] gates shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.]
