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 61:1-11 The Lord God Wants Those Who Mourn in Zion to be Comforted

 

The Lord God Wants Those Who Mourn in Zion to be Comforted

Isaiah 61:1-11                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

*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] are bound. 

*To [declare] the acceptable year of the Lord & the day of vengeance of our God & to comfort all [who] mourn. [Luke 4:18-19 The spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor. He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives & the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty, [those who] are [injured,] & to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.]

*To [comfort] [those who] mourn in Zion, to give to them: beauty, [instead of] ashes; the oil of joy, [instead of] mourning, the garment of praise, [instead of] the spirit of heaviness; [so] that they might be call trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, [so] that He might be glorified. 

[Acts 10:37-38 I say, That word you know [that] was published throughout all Judaea & began from Galilee, after the baptism 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 of the devil. For God was with Him.] 

And they shall [rebuild] the old waste [lands.] They shall raise up the [previous] desolations. And they shall repair the [deserted] cities & [the wastelands] of many generations. 

[Isaiah 49:8 *The Lord says [this,] In an acceptable time, I have heard You & [on] the day of Salvation, I have helped You. And I will preserve You & give You for a covenant [contract for] the people, to establish the earth & to cause the desolate heritages to [be] inherited.] 

And strangers shall stand & feed your flocks & the sons of the [foreigners] shall be your [farmers & caretakers of the vineyards.] But you shall be named, the Priests of the Lord. Men shall call you the Ministers of our God. You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles & you shall boast yourselves in their glory.

[Romans 9:23-26 And that He might make known the [richness] of His glory on the vessels of His mercy, [that] He had [previously] prepared [for] glory. Even us, whom He has called, not [from] the Jews only, but also [from] the Gentiles. 

[Like] He also said [by Hosea,] I will call them My people [who] weren’t My people & her beloved, [that] wasn’t beloved. And it shall [happen,] that in the place where it was said to them, You aren’t My people; they shall be called the children of the Living God.] 

You shall have double for your shame & for their confusion, they shall rejoice in their portion & everlasting joy shall be to them. Therefore, in their land, they shall possess the double. For I, the Lord, love [justice] & I hate robbery for burnt [offerings.]

[Malachi 3:8-10 Will a man rob God? Yet, you have robbed Me. But you say, [In what] have we robbed You? In tithes & offerings. You are cursed with a curse. For you, even this whole nation, have robbed Me. 

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, [so] that there is [food] in [My] house & [test] Me now [with this,] says the Lord of Hosts. Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, [so] that there is [food] in [My] house, says the Lord of Hosts. 

[Test] Me now [with this] [& see] if I won’t open [to] you the windows of heaven & pour out [for] you a blessing, [so] that there [won’t] be enough room to receive it.]

And I will direct their work in truth & I will make an everlasting covenant [contract] with them. And their [descendants] shall be known among the Gentiles & their offspring [shall be known] among the people. 

All [who] see them, shall acknowledge them, that they are the [descendants that] the Lord has blessed. [Acts 11:17 [Since] God [has given] them the [same] gift as He did to us, who [believe in] the Lord, Jesus Christ; [who] was I, that I [should] withstand God?] 

I will rejoice greatly in the Lord & my soul shall be joyful in my God. For He has clothed me with the garments of Salvation & He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, [like] a bridegroom [decorates] himself with ornaments & like a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 

[Revelations 21:1-3 And I saw a new heaven & a new earth. For the first heaven & the first earth [had] passed away & there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, from God, prepared [like] a bride adorned for her husband. 

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them & they shall be His people & God, Himself, shall be with them & be their God.]

For like the earth [produces its buds] & [like] the garden causes the things that are sown in it to [sprout up;] so the Lord God will cause righteousness & praise to [sprout up] before all the nations.
