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 45:1-25 The Lord God Tells King Cyrus, He Will Be with Him

 

The Lord God Tells King Cyrus, He Will Be with Him

Isaiah 45:1-25                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this,] to Cyrus, His anointed, whose right hand I have [held,] to [bring] nations [under his control] before him. And I will [loosen the belt] of kings & to open before [Cyrus,] the 2 [hinged] gates & the gates shall not be shut. I will go before you & make the crooked places straight. 

I will break [into] pieces the brass gates & cut in [pieces] the iron bars. And I will give you the treasures of darkness & hidden riches [from] secret places, [so] that you may know that I, the Lord, [Who] calls you by your name, Am the God of Israel. For Jacob, My servant's sake & Israel, [My chosen,] I have even called you by your name. 

I have surnamed you, [although] you haven't known Me. I Am the Lord & there is [no other.] There is no God [besides] Me. I [clothed] you, [although] you haven't known me. [So,] that from the [sunrise] & from the west, they may know that there is none [besides] Me.

I Am the Lord & there is none else. I [formed] the light & [created] darkness. [Genesis 1:2-5 And the earth was without form & void. And darkness was upon the [surface] of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the [surface] of the waters. And God said, Let there be light & there was light. 

And God saw the light & that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light: Day & He called the darkness: Night. And the evening & the morning were the 1st day.]

I make peace & create [calamity.] I, the Lord, do all these things. [Rain] down [drops,] you heavens from above & let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open & let them bring forth Salvation & let the [righteous sprout] up together. I, the Lord, have created it. 

[Distress to those who argue] with his Maker! Let the [shard of a broken clay pot argue] with the [pot shards] of the earth. Shall the clay [pot shard] say to him, [who formed] it, What [are you making?] Or [shall] your work [say,] [Hasn't it any] hands? 

[Distress] to him [who says] to his father, What [do] you [father?] Or to the woman, What have you [delivered?] The Lord, the Holy One of Israel & his Maker, says [this,] Ask Me [about] things to [happen] concerning My sons & you command Me [about] the work of My hands.

I have made the earth & have created man upon it. I, even My hands, have stretched out the heavens & I have commanded all their [stars & constellations.] [Genesis 1:14-19 And God said, Let there be light in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night. And let them be for signs & seasons & for days & years. And let them be for light in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth & it was so. 

And God made two great lights. The greater light to rule the day & the lesser light to rule the night & He also made the stars. And God [put] them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth & to rule over the day & over the night & to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And the evening & the morning were the 4th day.]

I have raised [Cyrus] up in righteousness & I will direct all his ways. He shall [rebuild] My city & he shall [release] My captives, not for price, nor reward, says the Lord of Hosts. The Lord says [this, Egypt's] labor & the merchandise of Ethiopia & the Sabeans, [tall] men shall come over to you & they shall be yours.

They shall come after you in chains & they shall fall down to you. They shall make [requests] to you, saying, Surely God is in you & there is none else, there is no [other] God. [Joel 2:27 And you shall know that I Am in the midst of Israel & that I Am the Lord your God & none else. And My people shall never be ashamed.]

[Truly, You are a God, [Who] hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior. They shall be ashamed & also confused, all of them. [Those who make] idols shall [be confused] together. But Israel shall be saved [by] the Lord, with an everlasting Salvation. You shall not be ashamed, nor [confused,] world without end. 

For the Lord, [Who] created the heavens, says [this;] God, [Who] Himself formed the earth & made it. He has established it. He [didn't] create it in vain. He formed it to be inhabited. I Am the Lord & there is none else. I haven't spoken in secret, dark, [hidden] places of the earth.

I [didn't] say to the [descendants] of Jacob, Seek Me in vain. I, the Lord, speak in righteousness. I declare things that are [correct.] Assemble yourselves, come & draw near together, you, [who] have escaped [from] the nations. 

[Those who put] up the wood of their [carved] image have no knowledge & pray to a god that can't save. You tell [them] & bring them near. [Yes,] let them [consult] together. Who has declared this from ancient [times?] Who has told it from that time? Haven't I, the Lord? And there isn't [any other] God, [besides] Me. A [fair] God & a Savior. There is none [besides] Me.

Look to Me & you be saved, all the ends of the earth. [Romans 10:9-12 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. For with the heart, man believes, [which leads to] righteousness & with the mouth, confession is made, [which leads to] Salvation. 

For the scripture says, [Whoever] believes [in] Him, shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew & the Greek, [a.k.a. Gentile, or heathen, or previous non-believers,] for the same Lord over all is rich unto all, [who] call upon Him.] 

For I Am God & there is none else. *I have sworn by Myself, the Word [has] gone out of My mouth in righteousness & shall not return. [So] that every knee shall bow [down] & every tongue shall swear to Me. 

Surely [someone] shall say, I have righteousness & strength in the Lord. Even men shall come to Him & all [who] are [enraged] against Him, shall be ashamed. All the [descendants] of Israel shall [glorify] & be justified in the Lord
