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 48:1-22 God Tells Them What's Ahead, so They Don't Give Credit to their False gods

 

God Tells Them What's Ahead, so They Don't Give Credit to their False gods

Isaiah 48:1-22                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Hear this, O house of Jacob, [who] are called by the name of Israel & have come [forward] out of the waters of Judah & [who] swear by the Name of the Lord & mention the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness. 

For they [lean] themselves upon the God of Israel, the Lord of Hosts is His Name & [refer to] themselves [as being from] the holy city. From the [very] beginning, I have declared the [previous] things. [These words] went out of My mouth [as] I [told of them] & I did them [immediately] & they [happened.] 

Because I knew you were [stubborn] & your neck is [stiff like] iron & your [forehead] brass. [Deuteronomy 9:13 Furthermore, the Lord [spoke] to me, saying, I have seen this people & [saw] it is a stiff-necked people.] 

I have even declared it to you from the beginning, before it [happened] & I [announced] it [to] you, lest you should say, [My] idol has done [these] & my [carved] imaged & my [molded] image have commanded them. You have heard & see all this & won't you declare it? 

I have [shown] you new things, from this time, even hidden things [that] you didn't know. They are created now, even before the day when you [hadn't] heard [of] them & not from the beginning, lest you should say, [Look,] I [already] knew [about] them. [Yet,] you [still] hadn't heard & [didn't] know [of them.]

[Yet,] I knew that you would [behave] very treacherously & were called a [sinner,] from that time that your ear wasn't opened, from [within] the womb. For My Name's sake & My praise, I will [put off] My anger & will [hold back] for you, [so] that I don't cut you off. 

[See,] I have refined you, but not with silver. I have chosen you [from] the furnace of affliction. [Deuteronomy 4:20 But the Lord has taken you & brought you [forward] out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be [for] Him a people of inheritance, as you are this day.] 

For [My] own sake, I will even do it: for [My] own sake. For how should My Name be polluted, [a.k.a. defiled?] and I won't give My glory to another. [Pay attention] to Me, O Jacob & Israel, [whom I have] called. I Am He & I Am the First & I also Am the Last. 

[Revelation 1:17-19 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet [like] dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying, [Don't] fear; I Am the First & the Last. I am He, [Who] lives & was dead & [look,] I Am alive forever more, Amen; and [I] have the keys of hell & of death. Write the things that you have seen & the things [that] are & the things [that] shall be, [after this.]

Also, [My] hands have laid the foundation of the earth & My right hand has [spread out] the heavens. When I call upon them, they stand up together. [Psalm 102:25-27 *Of old, You have laid the foundation of the earth & the heavens are the work of Your hands. 

They shall perish, but You shall endure. [Yes,] all of them shall [grow] old like a garment & [like] a [robe,] You shall change them & they shall be changed. But You are the same & Your years have no end.]

All [of] you assemble yourselves & hear. [Who] among them has declared these things? The Lord has loved him & He will do his pleasure on Babylon & His arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 

[Isaiah 44:27-28 [Who] says to the deep, Be dry & I will dry up the rivers. [Who] says of Cyrus, He is My Shepherd & shall [accomplish] all My pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be [rebuilt] & to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.]

I, even I, have spoken & [yes,] I have called him. I have  brought him & he shall make his [path] prosperous. You, come near to Me & hear this. From the beginning, I haven't spoken in secret. From the time that it was, I am there & now, the Lord God & His Spirit have sent Me. 

[Isaiah 61:1 *The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good [news] to the meek. He has sent Me to [bandage] up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives & the opening of the prison, to [those who] were bound.] 

The Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, says [this;] I Am the Lord your God, [Who] teaches you to [benefit, Who] leads you by the [road] you should go. O that you had [paid attention] to My commandments! Then, your peace, had been [like] a river & your righteousness [like] the waves of the sea. 

Also, your [descendants] had been [numerous] [like] the sand & your offspring [from] your [body], [would be] like the [seashore's] gravel. His name should not [be] cut off, nor destroyed before Me. 

You of Babylon, Go [out] & flee from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing, you declare & tell this & even say it to the [ends] of the earth, The Lord has redeemed His servant, Jacob. And they [didn't] thirst when He led them through the deserts.

He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He [split] the rock & also the waters gushed out. [Psalm 105:39-42 He spread a cloud for a covering & fire to give light in the night. The people asked & He brought quails & satisfied them with the bread of heaven, [a.k.a. manna.] 

He opened the rock & the waters gushed out & they ran in the dry places like a river. For He remembered His holy promise & Abraham, His servant.] The Lord says, There is no peace [for] the wicked.
