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.

Isaiah 47:1-15 Let the Sorcerers & Others You Turned to Save You

Let the Sorcerers & Others You Turned to Save You

Isaiah 47:1-15                              The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

There is no throne, O virgin daughter of Babylon, Come down, & sit in the dust, [a.k.a. dirt,] on the ground. O daughter of the Chaldeans, you [shall no longer] be called tender & delicate. 

[Jeremiah 25:4-7 And the Lord [had] sent to you all His servants, the prophets, rising early & sending them [to warn you,] but you haven't [paid attention,] nor [leaned] your ear to hear. 

They said, Everyone turn [yourselves] from his evil [ways,] & from your evil [actions,] & [live] in the land that the Lord [has] given to you, & to your [forefathers] forever & ever. And [don't] go after other gods, & serve, & worship them. 

And [don't] provoke Me to anger with the works [made by] your hands, & I won't do you [any harm.] Yet, you haven't [paid attention] to Me, [says] the Lord, [so] that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own [harm.]

[Cross] over the rivers, & take the [stones] [from the] [mill,] & grind [flour.] Uncover your locks [of hair,] & make your leg bare. Uncover your thigh, & your nakedness shall be uncovered, & [yes,] your shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, & I will not meet you [like] a man. [Isaiah 1:23-24 Your princes are rebellious, & companions of thieves. Everyone [loves] gifts, & [follows] after rewards, [a.k.a. bribes.] They [don't] judge the fatherless, & neither [does] the [case] of the widow come to them. Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, [says,] Ah, I will ease [Myself] of [My] adversaries, & avenge [Myself] of [My] enemies.]

As for our Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts is His Name, the Holy One of Israel. You, sit silent, & [go] into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for you [shal]l no [longer] be called, The lady of kingdoms.

[Isaiah 13:19-20 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, & the beauty of the Chaldees' [excellence,] shall be [like] when God overthrew Sodom & Gomorrah. 

It shall never be inhabited, & neither shall it be [lived] in from generation to generation. Neither shall the Arabian pitch [tents] there. Neither shall the shepherds make their [flock lie] there.] 

I was [angry] with My people, & I have polluted My inheritance, & [have] given them into your, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar's] hand, & you [didn't] show them [any] mercy. You [have] laid [a] very [heavy burden] upon the [elderly.] 

And you [said,] I shall be a lady forever: so that you [didn't take] these things to heart. Neither [did] [you] remember the [final] end of it. [Jeremiah 5:31 The prophets falsely prophesy, & the priests rule by their [methods,] & My people love to have it [this way.] What will you do in the end [of it?] 

Therefore, now hear this, you, [who are] given to pleasures, that [live] carelessly, & [who say] in your heart, I am, & [no one] else, [besides] me. I shall not sit [like] a widow, & neither shall I know the loss of children. 

[Zephaniah 2:14-15 And flocks, & all the [animals] of the nations: shall lie down in the [middle] of her,: both the cormorant, [a.k.a. the bald headed raven,] & the [heron] shall lodge in the upper [beams] of it. Their voice shall sing in the windows. 

Desolation shall be in [its] thresholds: for He shall uncover the cedar work. This is the rejoicing city that [lived] carelessly, & said in her heart, I am, & there is [no one besides] me. How she [has] become a desolation, & a place for [animals] to lie down in! Everyone [who] passes by her, shall hiss, & wag, [a.k.a. shake,] his hand [at it.] 

But these 2 things shall [happen] to you, in a moment [on] one day: the loss of children, & widowhood. They shall [completely] come upon you for the multitude of your sorceries, & your great abundance of enchantments. 

[Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say to you, Seek to [those who] have familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking to the dead,] & to wizards that peep, & [whisper,] shouldn’t a people seek unto their God? For the Living, [not] to the dead?]

For you [have] trusted in your wickedness, & you [have] said, [No one sees] me. Your wisdom & your knowledge [have] perverted you,  [a.k.a. led you astray,] And you [have] said in your heart, I am, & [no one] else [besides] me. 

Therefore, evil shall come upon you, & you shall not know from [where] it [rises,] & [trouble] shall fall upon you, & you [shall] not be able to put it off. And desolation [comes] upon you suddenly, which you shall not know [about.] [Isaiah 29:5-6 [Also,] the multitude of your strangers, [a.k.a. foreigners,] shall be like [fine] dust, & the multitude of the terrible, [a.k.a. ruthless,] ones, shall be [like stubble,] that [passes] away. [Yes,] it shall be suddenly, [in] an instant. You [shall] be visited [by] the Lord of Hosts with thunder, with earthquake, [loud] noise, with [a] storm & tempest, & the flame of devouring fire.] 

Now, stand with your enchantments, & with the multitude of your sorceries, [in which] you have [labored,] from your youth. If you [are] able to [benefit,] you [may] prevail. You [are tired with] the multitude of your [advisors.]

Now, let [these] stand up: the astrologers, the stargazers, & [those who foretell the future each month,] & save you: from these things that shall come upon you. [Watch,] they shall be [like] stubble; & the fire shall burn them.  

They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame. There shall not be a coal to warm at, nor [a] fire to sit [in front of.] [It] shall be [like] [this to you] [from those] with whom you [have labored,] from your youth, even your merchants, & everyone shall wander to his [own] [quarters,] & none shall save you.
