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 26:1-21 O Lord, We Have Waited for You in the Path of Your Justice

 

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. 

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. 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, [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 brings it even to the [dirt.] The [feet,] even the feet of the poor & the [footsteps] of the needy, shall [trample] it down. 

The [road] of the just is [honesty.] You most [honest,] weigh the path of the just. [Yes] in the [road] of Your [justice,] O Lord, we have waited for You. The desire of our soul is to Your Name & to the [memory] of You. 

I have desired You in the night, with my soul. [Yes,] with my spirit within me, I will seek You early; 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 [look,] but they shall see & shall be ashamed for their envy [of] the people. [Yet,] the fire of Your enemies shall devour them. [Psalm 28:5 Because they [don't] regard the works 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] all our [deeds] in us. 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 & 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, which no man could [count,] of all nations, [families, peoples & languages,] [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 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 draws [close to] the time of her delivery & is in pain & cries out in her [pains.] So, we have been 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 in the earth; neither have the world's inhabitants fallen. 

Your dead men shall live & together with My dead body, they shall arise. [Romans 10:9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus & shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.] 

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 3:15-17 That [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life. 

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, [so] 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, through Him might be saved.] 

Come, My people, enter into your [rooms] & shut your doors [around] you. Hide yourself, [like] it [was for just] a little moment, until the indignation is [over & past.] For, [watch,] the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their [sin.] 

The earth shall also [reveal its bloodshed] & shall no [longer] cover [its killed.] [Genesis 4:9-10 And the Lord said to Cain, Where is Abel, your brother? And he said, I [don't] know. Am I my brother's keeper? And [God] said, What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries [out] to Me from the ground.]
