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 65:1-25 As Israelites Worship False gods, Another Nation Comes to the True God

 

As Israelites Worship False gods, Another Nation Comes to the True God

Isaiah 65:1-25                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

I am sought [by those, who didn’t ask] for Me. I am found, [by those who didn’t search for] Me. I said, [See,] Me, [see] Me, to a nation that wasn’t called by My Name. I have spread out My hands all day to a rebellious people, [who follow] in a [path] that wasn’t good, [but was according to] their own thoughts. 

[Isaiah 1:21-24 How [has] the faithful city become [like] a harlot! It was full of [Justice] & righteousness [stayed] in it; but now murderers. Your silver [has] become [scum] & your wine [is] mixed with water. Your princes are rebellious & companions of thieves. 

Everyone loves gifts, [a.k.a. bribes,] & follows after rewards. They [don’t] [fairly] judge the fatherless & neither does the [case] of the widow come to them. Therefore, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel says, Ah, I will ease [Myself] of [My] adversaries & avenge [Myself] of [My] enemies.]

A people, [who] provoke Me to anger to My face continually & sacrifice in gardens & burn incense upon altars of brick. [2 Kings 21:5-7 And he built altars for all the [stars & constellations] of heaven in the 2 [courtyards] of the [Lord’s] house. 

And he made his son pass through the fire & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology or horoscopes] & used enchantments & dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking to the dead] & wizards. He [did] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord to provoke Him to anger. 

And he [put] in the grove a [carved image] that he had made, in the [temple] of which the Lord said to David & to Solomon, his son, I will put my Name in this house & in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, forever.] 

[A people who] remain among the graves & lodge in the [graveyard] monuments, [who] eat swine’s [meat] & [the] broth of [detestable] things [are] in their [cooking pots.] [Who] say, Stand by yourself & [don’t come near me; for I am holier than you. These are [like] smoke in My nose, [from] a fire that burns all day. 

[Matthew 9:11-13 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, Why [does] your [Teacher] eat with publicans, [a.k.a. tax collectors] & sinners? But when Jesus heard that, He said to them, [Those who are] whole [don’t] need a physician, but [those who] are sick. But you go & learn what that means, I will have mercy & not [sacrifices.] For I [have] not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.]

[See,] it is written before Me: I won’t keep [silent,] but will [repay,] even [repay] into their [heart.] [Psalm 50:3-6 Our God shall come & shall not keep [silent.] A fire shall devour before Him & it shall be very tempestuous [around] Him. From above, He shall call to the heavens & to the earth, that He may judge His people. 

Gather My saints together to Me & those [who] have made a covenant [contract] with Me by sacrifice. And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God, Himself, is Judge. Selah.] 

The Lord says, Therefore, I will measure their [previous deeds] into their [heart,] [for] your [sins] & the [sins] of your [forefathers] together, [who] have burned incense upon the mountains & blasphemed Me upon the hills. 

[Ezekiel 22:11-15 And one has committed [adultery] with his neighbor’s wife & another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law & another [of] you has [violated] his sister, his father’s daughter. In you, they have taken gifts, [a.k.a. bribes,] to shed blood. 

You have taken [excessive interest] & [increased prices] & you have greedily gained [by] your neighbors [through] extortion & have forgotten Me, says the Lord God. Therefore, [look,] I have [struck] [with] My hand, at your dishonest gain [that] you made & at your [bloodshed] [that] has been [done] in midst of you. 

Can your heart endure, or your hands be strong, [on] the days that I shall deal with you? I, the Lord, have spoken it & will do it. And I will scatter you among the heathen & [distribute] you in the countries & will [remove] your filthiness out of you.] 

The Lord says [this, Like] the [grapes for the] new wine is found in the cluster & [someone] says, [Don’t] destroy it; for it is a blessing. I will do so for My servant’s sakes, [so] that I [won’t] have to destroy all [of] them. And I will bring [out] a seed out of Jacob & out of Judah, an inheritor of My mountains. And My [chosen] shall inherit it & [My] servants shall dwell there. 

[Isaiah 11:9-10 In all My mountain, they shall not [harm,] nor destroy. For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, [like] the waters cover the sea. *And [on] that day, there shall be a Root of Jesse, [Who] shall stand for [a banner for] the people. The Gentiles shall [search for] it & His [resting place] shall be glorious.] 

And for My people, [who] have sought Me, Sharon shall be a [sheep pen for] flocks & the Valley of Achor, a place for the herds to lie down in. [Isaiah 11:6 The wolf shall also dwell with the lamb & the leopard shall lie down with the kid [goat.] And a little Child shall lead them: the calf, the young lion & the [fattened animal] together.] 

But you are [those who abandon] the Lord & forget My holy mountain & [who] prepare a table for that troop & furnish the drink offering to that number. [Jeremiah 1:16 And I will utter My judgments against them [about] all their wickedness. [Those] who have [abandoned] Me & have burned incense to other gods & worship the works [made by] their own hands.] 

Therefore, I will [count] you [out] to the sword & you shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I [spoke,] you didn’t [listen;] but did evil [in front of My] eyes & chose, [what] I [didn’t delight in.] [Jeremiah 7:7-11 Then, I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your [forefathers,] forever & ever. 

[Look,] you [who] trust in lying words, that can’t [benefit.] Will you: steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely & burn incense to Baal & [follow] after other gods, whom you [didn’t] know & come & stand before Me in this house, [that] is called by My Name & say, We are [called] to do all these abominations? In your eyes, [has] this house, which is called by My Name, become a den of robbers? [Look,] I have even seen it, says the Lord.] 

Therefore, the Lord God says [this, Look,] My servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry. [Look,] My servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty. [Look,] My servants shall rejoice, but you shall be ashamed. [Look,] My servants shall sing [with hearts] of joy, but you shall cry [out with sorrowful] hearts & shall howl [with troubled spirits.] 

And you shall leave your name for a curse, to My chosen: for the Lord God shall slay you & [shall] call His servants by another name. [Revelation 2:17 He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him [who] overcomes, I will give to eat of the hidden manna & will give him a white stone. And [on] the stone a new name written, [that] no man knows, [except] he [who] receives it.]

For, [look,] I create [a] new heavens & a new earth & the [previous] shall not be remembered, nor come [to] mind. But you be glad & rejoice forever in [what] I create. For, [look,] I create Jerusalem, for rejoicing & a joy [for] her people.

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem & [have] joy in My people. And the [sound] of weeping shall no [longer] be heard in her, nor the voice of crying. [Revelation 21:1-4 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.

*And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be nor more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain: for the [previous] things [have] passed away.]

There shall be no more [infants] [who only live for a few number] of days, nor an old man, [who] hasn’t [fulfilled] his days. For the child shall die [at] 100 years old, but the sinner being 100 years old, shall be [cursed.] 

And they shall build houses & [live in] them. And they shall plant vineyards & eat the fruit of them. They shall not build [houses] & another [lives in them.] They shall not plant & another [eats it.] For [like] the days of a tree, are the days of My people & My [chosen] shall enjoy the work of their hands [a] long [time.] 

They shall not labor in vain, nor [produce] [what causes] trouble. For they are the [descendants] of the blessed of the Lord & their offspring with them. [Isaiah 61:9 And their [descendants] shall be known among the Gentiles & their offspring among the people. All, [who] see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the [descendants that] the Lord blessed.] 

And it shall [happen,] that before they call, I will answer. And while they are [still] speaking, I will hear. The wolf & the lamb shall [graze] together & the lion shall eat straw like the [young bull.] And dust shall be the [snake’s food.] They shall not [harm,] nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says the Lord.
