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 60:1-22 Arise & Shine for Your Light Has Come

 

Arise & Shine for Your Light Has Come

Isaiah 60:1-22                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Arise & shine; for your Light [has] come & the glory of the Lord [has] risen upon you. [Ephesians 5:14 [For this reason, Isaiah] says, Awake, you [who] sleep & arise from the dead & Christ shall give you Light.]

For, [look,] the darkness shall cover the earth & [extreme] darkness [shall cover] the people. But the Lord shall arise upon you & His glory shall be seen upon you. 

[Acts 10:37-41 That word, I say & you know, [that] was [proclaimed] throughout all Judaea & began from Galilee, after the baptism, [in] which John preached; How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost, [a.k.a Holy Spirit] & with power. 

Who went [around] doing good & healing all [who] were oppressed [by] the devil; for God was with Him. And we are witnesses of all things [that] He did, both in the land of the Jews & in Jerusalem.

Whom they slew & hanged on a [cross made of a] tree. *Him, God raised up the 3rd day & [showed] Him openly. Not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before [by] God, even to us, who did eat & drink with Him, after He rose from the dead.] 

*And the Gentiles shall come to Your Light & kings to the brightness of your rising. [Revelation 21:22-24 *And I saw no temple [in there:] for the Lord God Almighty & the Lamb are the temple of it. *And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it. 

For the glory of God did lighten it & the Lamb is the Light [of it.] And the nations of [those who] are saved, shall walk in the light of it. And the kings of the earth, bring their glory & honor into it.] 

Lift up your eyes [around] & see: all [those who] gather themselves together, come to you. Your sons shall come from far & your daughters shall be nursed at your side. [Isaiah 49:20-22 The children [that] you shall have, after you [had] lost the [others,] shall say again in your ears, The place is too [small] for me. Give [a] place to me, [so] that I may dwell. 

Then, you shall say in your heart, Who has [delivered] these [for] me, seeing I have lost my children & [I’m] desolate, a captive, [wandering] to & fro? And who has brought up these? [Look,] I was left alone, where had these been? 

The Lord God says [this,] I will lift up [My] hand to the Gentiles & [put] up My [banner for] the people. And they shall bring your [orphaned] sons in their arms & your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.] 

Then, you shall see & flow together. And your heart shall fear [respect] & be enlarged; because the [troops] of Gentiles shall come to you [like] the abundance of the sea shall be [diverted] to you. The multitude of camels shall cover you, the [camels] of: Midian & Ephah & all [those] from Sheba shall come. 

They shall bring gold & incense & they shall [proclaim] the praises of the Lord. [Matthew 2:10-11 When they saw the star, they rejoiced [exceedingly with] great joy. And when they [came] into the house, they saw the young child with Mary, His mother & [the wisemen] fell down & worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented to Him gifts: gold, frankincense & myrrh.] 

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you. The rams of Nebaioth shall minister to you. They shall come up on [My] altar with acceptance & I will glorify the house of My glory. Who are these [who] fly [like] a cloud & [like] the doves [fly] to their windows [to roost?] 

Surely, the [coastal islands] shall wait for Me & the ships of Tarshish. First to bring your sons from far [away] & their silver & gold with them, to the Name of the Lord your God & to the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you. 

[Psalm 72:10-11 The kings of Tarshish & the [islands] shall bring presents. The kings of Sheba & Seba shall offer gifts. [Yes,] all kings shall fall down before Him & all nations shall serve Him.]

And the sons of strangers shall [rebuild] your walls & their kings shall minister to you: for in My [anger] I [afflicted] you, but I have had mercy on you, in My [kindness.] 

[Zechariah 6:15 And [those who] are far [away] shall come & [rebuild] in the [Lord’s] temple & you shall know that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me to you. And this shall [happen,] if you [sincerely] obey the voice of the Lord your God.] 

Therefore, your gates shall be open continually. They shall not be shut day nor night; [so] that men may bring to you the [troops] of the Gentiles & [so] that their kings may be brought. 

[Revelation 21:25-26 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory & honor of the nations into it.]

For the nation & kingdom that won't serve you, shall perish. [Yes,] those nations shall be [totally ruined.] The glory of Lebanon shall come to you & the fir tree, pine tree & box [tree] together to beautify the place of My sanctuary & I will make the place of My feet glorious. 

[Ezekiel 43:7 And He said to me, Son of man, the house of Israel, nor their kings, shall no more defile My Holy Name & the place of My throne & the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children [people] of Israel forever, by their [unfaithful harlotry,] nor by their [corpses] in their high places.] 

The sons & also [those who] afflicted you, shall come bending [down] to you & all [those who] despised you, shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you, The City of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. [Hebrew 12:22 But you [have] come to Mount Zion & to the city of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem & to an [uncountable] company of Angels.] 

[Since,] you have been [abandoned] & hated, so that no man went through you, I will make you [of] eternal [excellence,] a joy [for] many generations. You shall also suck the milk of the Gentiles & shall [nurse from] kings. And you shall know that I the Lord Am your Savior & your Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 

[Isaiah 49:23 And kings shall be your nursing fathers, [a.k.a. foster fathers] & their queens your nursing mothers, [a.k.a. foster mothers.] They shall bow down to you, [facing toward the ground] & lick up the dust [from] your feet. And you shall know that I Am the Lord. For [those] shall not be ashamed [who] wait for Me.] 

[Instead of] brass, I will bring gold & for iron, I will bring silver. And for wood, [I will bring,] brass & for stones, [I will bring,] iron. I will also make your officers [peaceful] & [those who demand unfair payment from you,] [I will bring,] righteousness. 

Violence, [ruin,] nor destruction shall no [longer] be heard in your land, [or] within your borders. But you shall call your walls: Salvation & your gates: Praise. [Isaiah 26:1-2 [On] that day, this song shall be sung in the land of Judah.

We have a strong city. God will appoint Salvation for walls & [strong protection.] Open, you gates, [so] that the righteous nation, [who] keeps the Truth, may enter in.] 

The sun shall no [longer] be your light by day & neither shall the moon give light to you for brightness. But the Lord shall be to you an everlasting Light & your God, your glory. 

The sun shall no [longer] go down; neither shall your moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be your everlasting Light & the days of your mourning shall be ended. [Revelation 22:5 And there shall be no night there & they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them Light. And they shall [rule] forever & ever.]

Also, all your people shall be righteous. They shall inherit the land forever, the Branch of My planting, the work of My hands, [so] that I may be glorified. [Isaiah 11:1-2 *And there shall come [forward] 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 [advice] & [strength,] the Spirit of knowledge & the fear [respect] of the Lord.] 

A little one, shall become 1,000 & a small one, a strong nation. I the Lord will [expedite] it in [its] time. [Micah 5:2 But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, though you [are] little among the 1,000's of Judah, [still] He shall come forth out of you, to Me, to be ruler in Israel; Whose goings [out] have been from [ancient times,] from everlasting.]
