O Lord, We Have Waited for You in the Path of Your Justice |
Isaiah 26:1-21 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
[On] that day, this song shall be sung in the land of Judah. We have a strong city, & God will appoint Salvation for walls, & [strong support.] You, open the gates, [so] that the righteous nation, [that keeps] the Truth, may enter in. [Revelation 21:22-27 *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 [who] are saved, shall walk in the light of it. And the kings of the earth, [bring] their glory & [honor] into it.] And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day. For there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory, & honor of the nations into it. And there shall in no [ways] enter into it anything that [defiles,] neither [whatever works] abomination, or [makes] a lie: but those [who] are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.] |
You [will] keep him, whose mind is [focused] on You, in perfect peace: because he [trusts] in You. You, trust in the Lord forever: for the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength. |
[Romans 11:26-27 *And so all Israel shall be saved, [like] it is written [in the Scriptures,] There shall come out of Sion, [a.k.a. Zion,] the Deliverer, & shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] For this is My Covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] to them, when I shall take away their sins.] |
For He [brings] down [those who] dwell on high. He [lays] the lofty city, [down] low. He [lays] it low, even to the ground, & He even [brings] it to the dust, [a.k.a. dirt.] The [feet,] even the feet of the poor, & the [footsteps] of the needy, shall [trample] it down. [Isaiah 2:11-12 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, & the [arrogance] of men shall be bowed down. And the Lord Alone shall be exalted [on] that day. For the day of the Lord of Hosts shall be upon everyone [who] is proud, & lofty, & upon everyone [who] is lifted up, [a.k.a. magnified,] & he shall be brought low.] |
The [road] of the just is [upright, a.k.a. honesty.] You most [honest,] weigh the path of the just. [Jeremiah 17:10 I, the Lord, search the heart, & I try, [a.k.a. test,] the [heart strings,] to even give every man according to his ways, & according to the fruit [from] his [actions.] |
[Yes] in the [path] of Your judgments, [a.k.a. justice,] O Lord, we have waited for You. The desire of our soul is to Your Name, & to the [memory] of You. [Isaiah 25:9 And it shall be said [on] that day, [Look,] this is our God. We have waited for Him, & He will save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for Him. We will be glad, & rejoice in His Salvation.] |
I have desired You in the night, with my soul. [Yes,] I will seek You early,with my spirit within me. For when Your judgments are [on] the earth, the [world's] inhabitants will learn righteousness. |
Let [grace] be [declared] to the wicked, yet, he will not learn righteousness. He will [behave] unjustly in the land of [righteousness,] & [the wicked] will not [see] the majesty of the Lord. |
Lord, when Your hand is lifted up, they won't see, but they shall see, & shall be ashamed for their envy [of] the people. [Yes,] the fire of Your enemies shall devour them. [Psalm 28:5 Because they [don't] regard the works, [a.k.a. miracles,] of the Lord, nor the [action] of His hands, He shall destroy them, & not build them up.] |
Lord, You [will establish] peace for us. For You [have] also [brought about] in us, all our works, [a.k.a. deeds.] O Lord our God, other lords [besides,] You have had [power] over us: But [because of] You, we will only make mention of Your Name. |
They are dead, & they shall not live. They are deceased, & they shall not rise. Therefore, You [have] visited, [a.k.a. punished,] & destroyed them, & made all their memory to perish. [Isaiah 14:22 The Lord of Hosts [says,] For I will rise up against them, & cut off from Babylon, the name, the remnant, the son, & the nephew, [says] the Lord.] |
You [have] increased the nation, O Lord. You [have] increased the nation: & You [are] glorified. You [had] removed it far, unto all the ends of the earth. [Revelation 7:9-10 After this I [looked,] & [saw,] a [large] multitude of: [families,] people, & [languages, from] all nations, which no man could [count,] [who] stood before the throne, & before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, & palms in their hands; & cried [out] with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God, & to the Lamb, [Who sit] upon the throne.] |
Lord, in [their] trouble, they have visited You, & they poured out a prayer when Your [chastising] was upon them. [Hosea 5:15 I will go, & return to My place, [until] they acknowledge their offense, & seek My face. In their affliction, they will seek Me early.] |
Like a [pregnant] woman, is in pain, [who draws] near the time of her delivery, & [cries] out in her [pains.] We have been like this] in Your sight, O Lord. We have been [like] we are [pregnant] with child, & we have been in pain, & we have [only] brought forth wind; & we haven't [brought about] any deliverance [on] the earth; & neither have the world's inhabitants fallen. [Ephesians 2:8 For you are saved by grace, & faith, & not [from] yourselves. It is the gift of God.] |
Your dead men shall live, & together with My dead body, they shall arise. [1 Thessalonians 4:14-18 For if we believe that Jesus died & rose again, even so [those] [who] sleep, [a.k.a. died,] & also [believed,] in Jesus, God will bring with Him. For we say this to you [through] the Word of the Lord, [so] that we [who] are alive, & remain [until] the Lord [comes,] shall not prevent [those who] are asleep [from joining God in heaven.] For the Lord Himself, shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the Archangel, & with the [trumpet blare] of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we [believers] [who] are alive & remain, shall be caught up together in the clouds, with [those] [who were dead,] to meet [up with] the Lord. [For this reason,] comfort one another with these Words.] |
Awake & sing, you [who] dwell in [the dirt:] for your dew is [like] the dew of herbs, & the earth shall cast out the dead. [John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that [whoever believes] in Him, should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. For God [didn’t send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world might be saved through Him. For he, [who believes in] Him isn’t condemned. But he, [who doesn’t believe] is already condemned, because he [hasn’t] believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.] |
Come, My people, enter into your [rooms,] & shut your doors [around] you. Hide yourself, [like] it were [just] for a little moment, until the indignation, [a.k.a. anger aroused by injustice,] is [over, & past.] [Isaiah 54:7-8 I have [abandoned] you for a [little] moment; but I will gather you with great mercies. I hid My face from you in a little [anger,] for a moment, but I will have mercy on you with everlasting kindness, [says] the Lord your Redeemer.] |
For, [watch,] the Lord [comes] out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their [sinfulness.] The earth shall also [reveal its bloodshed,] & shall no [longer] cover [its killed.] [Nahum 2:3 The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men are [covered] in scarlet. [On] the day of His preparation, the chariots shall be with flaming torches. And the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:
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.
