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 59:1-21 Their Feet Run to Do Evil & They Hurry to Shed Innocent Blood

 

Their Feet Run to Do Evil & They Hurry to Shed Innocent Blood

Isaiah 59:1-21                               The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[Look,] the Lord's hand isn't shortened, that it can't save. Neither [is] His ear heavy, that it can't hear. [Jeremiah 32:1 Ah, Lord God! [See,] You have made the heaven & the earth by Your great power & [outstretched] arm & there is nothing too hard for You.]

But your iniquities have separated [& have come] between you & your God & your sins have [hidden] His face from you, [so] that He won't hear. For your hands are defiled with [bloodshed] & your fingers with [sin]. Your lips have spoken lies & your tongue has [expressed what is wicked.] 

[Jeremiah 2:26-28 [Like] a thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they & their: kings, princes, priests & their prophets. Saying to a [tree stump,] You are my father & to a [rock,] You have [delivered] me. For they have turned their back to Me & not their face. 

But in the time of their trouble, they will say, Arise & save us. But where are your gods that you have made [yourselves?] Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your trouble. For your gods, O Judah, are according to the number of your cities.]

None call for justice, nor [do] any plead for truth. They trust in [what is] vanity & speak lies. They [devise plots] & [produce] [what is sinful.] They hatch [wicked plans like poisonous] [viper's] eggs [hatch] & weave [plots like] the spider's web. He, [who] eats their eggs dies & [what] is crushed [hatches] out into a viper. 

Their webs shall not become [clothing,] neither shall they cover themselves with their works. Their works are [sinful] works. And in their hands is the act of violence. Their feet [race] to evil & they [hurry] to shed [the] blood [of the] innocent. Their thoughts are the thoughts of [sinfulness.] 

[Ruin] & destruction are in their paths. They [don't] know the way of peace & there is no [justice] in their [actions.] They have made [themselves deceitful] paths. [Whoever] goes [there] shall not know peace. Therefore, judgment is far from us, neither does justice [come over] us. 

We wait for light, but [see fogginess;] [we wait] for brightness, but we walk in darkness. [John 1:9-10 That was the True Light, [that enlightens] every man, [who] comes into the world. He was in the world & the world was made by Him & the world [didn't] know Him.]

We [grasp] for the wall, like the blind & we [grasp like] we had no eyes. We stumble at [noon like] in the night. We are in: desolate, [lonely] places [like] dead men. We all roar like bears & [moan sadly] like doves. We look for [justice,] but there is none & [we look] for Salvation, but it is far [away] from us. 

For our transgressions are multiplied before You & our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us, [like] our [sins] & we know them, in: [sinning] & lying against the Lord & [turning] away from our God & speaking [words of:] oppression & revolt & [plotting] & uttering words of falsehood from the heart. 

And [judgment has gone astray] & justice stands [far away.] For truth [has] fallen in the street & equity can't enter. [Yes,] truth fails & he [who] departs from evil, makes himself a prey & the Lord saw it & it displeased Him that there was no [justice.]

[Isaiah 10:1-2 Woe to [those who command wicked] decrees & write [what is grievous,] which they have [authorized:] to turn [away] the needy from [justice] & to take away the [rights] of the poor of My people. [So,] that widows may be their prey & that they may rob the fatherless!] 

And He saw that there was no man & wondered that there wasn't [any to plead on their behalf.] Therefore, His arm brought Salvation to [them] & sustained [them with] His righteousness. [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.] 

For He put on righteousness [like] a breastplate & a helmet of Salvation upon His head. And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing & was [dressed] with zeal for a cloak. 

He will repay fury to His adversaries & [retribution] to His enemies, according to their deeds. To the [coastal] islands, He will repay accordingly.  [Isaiah 35:4 Say to [those with] a fearful heart, Be strong & [don't] fear. [Look,] your God will come with vengeance, even God with a [repayment.] He will come & save you.] 

So, shall they from the West fear [respect] the Name of the Lord & from the [sunrise in the East,] [shall respect] His glory. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord, shall lift up a [banner] against him.

[Revelation 12:15-16 And the serpent [spewed] water out if his mouth [like] a flood, after the woman, [so] that he might cause her to be carried away [by] the flood. And the earth helped the woman. And the earth opened [its] mouth & swallowed up the flood, [that] the dragon [spewed] out of his mouth.] 

And the Redeemer shall come to Zion & to [those who] turn [away] from [sin] in Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] says the Lord. As for Me, this is My Covenant [contract] with them, says the Lord. 

My spirit that is upon you & My Words [that] I have put in your mouth, shall not [leave from] your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your [offspring,] nor out of the [mouths] of your [descendants,] from [now on] & forever, says the Lord.
