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 43:1-28 The Lord God Called Them by Name

 

The Lord God Called Them by Name

Isaiah 43:1-28                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

But now, the Lord, [Who] created you & He, [Who] formed you says [this,] O Jacob & O Israel, [Don't] fear: for I have Redeemed you. I have called you by your name & you are Mine. When you [pass] through the waters & the rivers, I will be with you. They shall not [flood over] you. 

When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned & neither shall the flames [grow] upon you. [Daniel 3:24-25 Then, king Nebuchadnezzar was [astonished] & rose up in [a hurry, spoke] & said to his counselors, Didn't we [throw] 3 [tied up] men into the fire?

They answered & said to the king, True, O king. He answered & said, [Look,] I see 4 men loose, walking in the [middle] of the fire & they have no [harm] & the form of the 4th is like the Son of God.]

For I Am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I gave Egypt for your ransom & Ethiopia & Seba, [in place of] you. Since you [were] precious in My sight, you have been honorable & I have loved you. Therefore, I will give men for you & people for your life.

[Isaiah 63:8-9 For He said, Surely they are My people, children that will not lie, so He was their Savior. In all their [suffering,] He was afflicted & [in] His presence, the Angel saved them. In His love & in His pity, He redeemed them & carried them all the days of old.] 

[Don't] fear, for I am with you. I will bring your [descendants] from the East & gather you from the West. I will say to the North, Give up & to the South, [Don't withhold.] Bring My sons from far & My daughters from the ends of the earth. 

Even, everyone, [who] is called by My Name, for I have created him for My glory & I have formed him. [Yes,] I have made him. Bring [out] the blind people, [who] have eyes & the deaf people, [who] have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together & let the people be assembled. 

Who among them can declare this & [show] us [previous] things? Let them bring [forward] their witnesses, [so] that they may be justified: or let them hear & say, It is [true.] You are My witnesses, says the Lord & My servant, whom I have chosen: [so] that you may know & believe Me & understand that I Am He. 

Before Me, there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me. I, even I, Am the Lord & beside Me, there is no Savior. I have declared & have saved & I have [shown,] when there was no strange god among you. Therefore, you are My witnesses, says the Lord, that I Am God.

[Yes,] before the day was, I am He & there [are] none that can deliver out of My hand. I will work & who shall [authorize] it. [Isaiah 45:19-20 I haven't spoken in secret, in a dark [hidden] place of the earth. I [didn't] say to the [descendants] of Jacob, You seek Me in vain. 

I, the Lord, speak Righteousness. I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves & come. Draw near together, you, [who] are escaped [from] the nations. [Those] have no knowledge, [who] set up the wood of their [carved] image & pray to a god that can't save.]

The Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says [this;] I have sent to Babylon for your sake & have brought down all their nobles & the Chaldeans, whose [out] cry is [on] the ships. I Am the Lord, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. 

The Lord says [this, Who] makes a [road] in the sea & a path in the mighty waters. [Who] brings [forward] the: [chariots & horses,] the army & the power. They shall lie down together & they shall nor rise. They are extinct & they are [put out like kindling] [from a campfire is put out.]

[Don't] you remember the [previous] things, [or] consider the things of old. [Look,] I will do a new thing. It shall spring up & shall you not now know it? I will even make a [road] in the wilderness & rivers in the desert.

The [animals] of the field shall honor Me & the [jackals] & owls: because I give waters in the wilderness & rivers in the desert to give drink to My people, My chosen. I have formed this people for Myself & they shall [declare] My praise. 

But you haven't called upon Me, O Jacob; but you have been [tired] of Me, O Israel. You haven't brought Me the [small livestock] of your burnt offerings. Neither have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I haven't caused you to serve with an offering, nor [tired] you with incense. 

[Acts 7:42-43 Then God turned & gave them up to worship the [stars & constellations] of heaven; [like] it is written in the book of the prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to Me, [slaughtered animals] & sacrifices [over] the space of 40 years in the wilderness? 

[Yet,] you took up the tabernacle of Moloch & the star of your god, Remphan, figures [that] you made, to worship them. And I will carry you away, beyond Babylon.] 

You have brought Me no sweet cane with money, neither have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices: but you have made Me to [deal] with your sins. You have [tired] Me with your iniquities. I, even I, Am He, [Who] blots out your transgressions for [My] Own sake & will not remember your sins. 

[Remember] Me & let us plead together & you declare, [so] that you may be justified. Your 1st [forefather, a.k.a. Adam,] sinned & your teachers have transgressed against Me.

[Exodus 32:7-8 And the Lord said to Moses, Go, get [yourself] down; for your people, [that] you brought out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have [gone astray] quickly out of the [path that] I have commanded them. 

They have made [themselves] a [molded] calf & have worshiped it & have sacrificed [to it] & said, These [are] your gods, O Israel, [that] have brought you up out of the land of Egypt.] 

Therefore, I have [defiled] the princes of the sanctuary & have given Jacob to the curse & Israel to [disgrace.] [Jeremiah 24:9 And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their [harm,] to be a [disgrace,] a proverb, a [taunting song] & a curse, in all places [where] I shall drive them.]
