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 53:1-12 Who Has Believed Our Report About Jesus?

 

Who Has Believed Our Report About Jesus?

Isaiah 53:1-12                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

*Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? [John 12:36-38 While you have Light, believe in the Light, [so] that you may be the children of Light. These things Jesus [spoke] & departed & [hid] Himself from them. 

But though He had done so many miracles before them, [still] they [didn’t] believe [in] Him. [So,] that the saying of [Isaiah,] the prophet might be fulfilled, [that] he spoke, *Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?] 

For He shall grow up before Him, [like] a tender plant & [like] a root out of a dry ground. He has no [pleasant] form, nor [attractiveness.] And when we shall see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him.

[Isaiah 11:1-2 *And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse & a Branch shall grow out of his roots. *And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of: wisdom & understanding, the Spirit of counsel & might, the Spirit of knowledge & of the fear [respect] of the Lord.]

*He is despised & rejected [by] men. A man of sorrows & acquainted with grief & we hid, [like] it were our faces from Him. He was despised & we [didn’t hold] Him [in high regard.] *Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows. [Still,] we [didn’t respect] Him, [suffering, struck] & afflicted [by] God. [Hebrews 5:8-9 [Although] He were a Son, [still] He learned obedience by the things [that] He suffered. And being made perfect, He became the Author of Eternal Salvation to all [who] obey Him.] 

*But He was wounded for our [sins] & He was bruised for our iniquities. The [discipline for] our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes, we are healed. [Mark 15:15 And so Pilate, willing to [satisfy] the people, released Barabbas to them & when he had scourged, [a.k.a. whipped,] Him, delivered Jesus to be crucified.]

*All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We have, everyone turned to his own way & the Lord has laid on Him the [sin] of us all. *He was oppressed & He was afflicted, yet He [didn’t] open His mouth. [Luke 23:9 *Then he, [a.k.a. Herod,] questioned Him with many words; but He answered him nothing.]

He is brought [like] a lamb to the slaughter & [like] a sheep [in front of] her shearers is [mute,] so He [didn’t] open His mouth. *He was taken from prison & from [justice.] And who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off, out of the land of the living. For He was struck for the [sins] of My people. [Mark 15:17-20 And they clothed Him with purple & [wove] a crown of thorns & put it [around] His head & began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews! 

*And they [struck] Him on the head with a reed & spit upon Him. And bowing their knees, worshiped Him. And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him & put His own clothes on Him & led Him out to crucify Him.] 

*And He made His grave with the wicked & with the rich in His death. [Matthew 27:59-60 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth & *laid it in his own new tomb, [that] he had [cut] out in the rock. And he rolled a [large rock] to the door of the [tomb] & [left.] 

Because He had done no violence & neither was there any deceit in His mouth. [John 19:4-6 Therefore, Pilate went [out] again & said to them, [Look,] I bring Him [out] to you, [so] that you may know that I find no fault in Him. Then, Jesus came [out,] wearing the crown of thorns & the purple robe. 

And Pilate said to them, Behold the Man! Therefore, when the chief priests & officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, Crucify Him, crucify Him. Pilate said to them, You take Him & crucify Him: for I find no fault in Him.] 

*Yet, it pleased the Lord to bruise Him. He had put Him to grief. When You shall make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed & He shall prolong His days & the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.

[Luke 24:45-48 Then, He opened their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures & said to them, Thus it is written & thus it [was beneficial] for Christ to suffer & to rise from the dead the 3rd day. [So] that repentance & remission of sins should be preached in His Name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things.] 

*He shall see the travail of His soul & shall be satisfied. [1 John 2:1-2 My little children, I write these things to you [so] you [don’t] sin. And if any man [sins,] we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the Righteous. And He is the [atonement] for our sins. And not for our’s only, but also for the sins of the whole world.] 

By His knowledge, shall My Righteous Servant justify many: for He shall bear their [sins.] [Acts 13:37-39 But He, Whom God raised again, saw no corruption, [a.k.a. rotting or decaying.] Therefore, be it known to you, men & brethren, that through this Man: is preached forgiveness of sins to you. And by Him, all, [who] believe are justified from all things, from which you couldn’t be justified by the Law of Moses.] 

*Therefore, I will divide Him a portion with the great & He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He has poured out His soul, [even] unto death. And He was numbered with the transgressors. [Luke 23:32-34 *And there were also 2 others, [criminals,] led with Him to the place, which is called Calvary. 

There, they crucified Him & the [criminals] one on the right hand & the other on the left. Then, Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted His [clothing] & cast lots.]

And He [bore] the sin for many & made intercession for the [sinners.] [John 3:16-18 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that [whoever] believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. 

For God [didn’t send] His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. For he, [who] believes [in] Him isn’t condemned. But he, [who doesn’t] believe is already condemned, because he hasn’t believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.]
