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 39:1-8 Hezekiah Shows Those from Babylon All His Treasures

 

Hezekiah Shows Those from Babylon All His Treasures

Isaiah 39:1-8                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

At that time, Merodach Baladan, [Baladan's] son, [Babylon's] king, sent letters & a present to Hezekiah. For he had heard that [Hezekiah] was sick & [had] recovered. 

And Hezekiah was glad [about] them & [showed] them the house of his precious [treasures:] the silver, gold, spices, precious ointment & all the house [with] his armor & all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his [kingdom,] that Hezekiah [hadn't shown] them.

Then, Isaiah, the prophet, came to king Hezekiah & said to him, What [did these] men [say?] [Where did] they [come] from? And Hezekiah said, They [have] come from a far country to me, even from Babylon. 

Then [Isaiah asked,] What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that in [my] house & there is nothing among my treasures, that I haven't [shown] them. 

Then, Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the Word of the Lord of Hosts. [Watch, the days come, that all that is in your house & [what the forefathers have stored] up until this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says the Lord. 

And they shall take away your [future] sons that shall [come] from you, which you shall [father] & they shall become eunuchs in the palace of [Babylon's]  king. Then, Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The Word of the Lord that you have spoken is good. He [additionally said,] There shall be peace & truth [during] my days.
