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 66:1-24 The Lord says, I Will Comfort You in Jerusalem

 

The Lord says, I Will Comfort You in Jerusalem

Isaiah 66:1-24                                The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this,] The heaven is My throne & the earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you build to Me? And where is My [resting] place? For My hand made all those things & all those things [exist,] says the Lord. 

But I will look to this man, even to him, [who] is poor & of a [repentant] spirit & trembles at My Word. He, [who] kills an ox is, as if he [killed] a man. He [who] sacrifices a lamb [is,] as if he cut off a dog's neck. He, [who] offers an [offering] [is,] as if he offered swine's blood. He, [who] burns incense [is,] as if he blessed an idol. 

[Yes,] they have chosen their own ways & their soul delights in their abominations. [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 with the dead] & wizards. 

He [brought about] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. And he [put a carved] image [in] the grove, that he had made in the [Lord's] house, 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.]

I will also choose their delusions & will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none [answered.] When I [spoke,] they didn't hear. But they did evil [in front of My] eyes & chose [what] I [didn't delight in.] Hear the Word of the Lord, you, [who] tremble at His Word. 

Your brethren, [who] hated you & cast you out for My Name's sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but to your joy, He shall appear & they shall be ashamed. A [sound] of noise from the city & from the temple, [the] voice of the Lord, [Who gives repayment] to His enemies. 

She [gave birth,] before she [was in labor] & before her pain came, she [had] delivered a [male] child. Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to [give birth] in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion [labored,] she [gave birth to] her children. 

[Isaiah 49:20-23 After you have lost the [others,] the children [that] you shall have, shall again say in your ears, The place is too [small] for me. Give me [a] place that I may [live.] Then you shall say in your heart, Who has [delivered] these [for] me, seeing I have lost my children & am desolate, a captive, [wandering] to & fro? And who has [raised] 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 a [banner for] the people. And they shall bring your [orphaned] sons in their arms & your daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.

And kings shall be your [foster fathers] & their queens shall be your [foster mothers.] They shall bow down to you [facing the ground] & lick the dust [off] your feet & you shall know that I Am the Lord: for they shall not be ashamed, [who] wait for Me.] 

The Lord says, Shall I bring to the [time of] birth & not [produce delivery as a result?] Your God says, Shall I [produce delivery] & shut the womb? [Isaiah 55:11 So My Word shall be that goes [forward] out of My mouth. It shall not return to Me [ineffective,] but shall accomplish [what] I please & it shall [benefit] in the thing, [for which] I sent it.]

You rejoice with Jerusalem & be glad with her, all you, [who] love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you, [who] mourn for her. That you may [nurse] & be satisfied with the [comfort] of her breasts; [so] that you may [drink deeply] & be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

For the Lord says [this, Look,] I will extend peace to her like a river & the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing steam. Then, you shall [nurse] & shall be [carried] [straddled] upon her sides & be [bounced] upon her knees. 

So, I will comfort you, [like] one whom his mother comforts & you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And when you see this, your heart shall rejoice & your bones shall flourish like [plants] & the hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants & to His enemies: His indignation. 

For, [look,] the Lord will come with fire & with His chariots like a whirlwind, to [give] His anger with fury & His [scolding] with flames of fire. For by His sword & by fire, the Lord will plead with all [people]. And the slain of the Lord shall be many. 

[2 Thessalonians 1:6-8 [Since] it's a righteous thing with God to [repay] tribulation to [those who troubled] you. And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire, taking vengeance on [those who don't] know God & [don't] obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.]

They, [who] sanctify & purify themselves in the gardens behind 1 tree in the [middle,] eating swine's flesh & [what is detestable] & the mouse. The Lord says, They shall be consumed together. For I know their [deeds] & their thoughts. It shall [happen,] that I will gather all nations & [languages] & they shall come & see My glory.

[Revelation 5:7-10 And He came & took the Book out of the right hand of Him, [Who] sat on the throne. And when He had taken the Book, the 4 [living creatures] & 24 elders fell down before the Lamb, everyone having harps & golden vials of [incense, that] are the prayers of saints.

And they [sang] a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the Book & to open the seals [of it.] For You [were] slain & by Your blood, have redeemed us to God, out of every [family & language] & people & nation. And [have] made us kings & priests to our God & we shall [rule] on the earth.] 

And I will [put] a sign among them & I will sent those [who] escape [from] them to the nations: to Tarshish, Pul, Lud & [those who] draw the bow to Tubal & Javan & to the [coastal islands] far [away, who] haven't heard [of] My fame & neither have seen My glory. 

And they shall declare My glory among the Gentiles. [Romans 15:10-12 And He says again, Rejoice you Gentiles, with His people. And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles & [glorify] Him, all you people. *And again, [Isaiah said,] There shall be a Root of Jesse & He, [Who] shall rise to [rule] over the Gentiles, the Gentiles shall trust in Him.]

And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering out of all the nations to the Lord, upon horses, in chariots, in litters, upon mules & upon swift [animals,] to My holy mountain, Jerusalem, says the Lord, [like] the children [people] of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the [Lord's] house. 

[Isaiah 18:7 In that time, the present shall be brought to the Lord of Hosts [from] a scattered people, terrible from their beginning, [until now.] A nation [measured] out & [trampled] under foot, whose land, the rivers have spoiled [all the way] to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord of Hosts.] 

And I will also take of them for: priests & for Levites, says the Lord. The Lord says, For [like] the new heavens & the new earth, [that] I will make, shall remain before Me, so shall your [descendants] & your name remain. [Revelation 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.]

And it shall [happen,] that from one New Moon to another & from one Sabbath to another, all [people] shall come to worship before Me, says the Lord. And they shall go [out] & look upon the [corpses] of men, [who] have [sinned] against Me. For their worm shall not die & neither shall their fire be quenched. And they shall be [loathed by] all flesh.
