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.

Jeremiah 8:1-22 Israelites' Bones Are to Be Removed of Worshipers of Sun, Moon & Stars

 

Israelites' Bones Are to Be Removed of Worshipers of Sun, Moon & Stars

Jeremiah 8:1-22                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says, At that time, they shall bring the bones out of [the] graves of: [Judah's] kings, princes, priests, prophets & inhabitants of Jerusalem. And they shall spread them [in front of] the sun, moon & all the [stars & constellations] of heaven, whom they have loved, served, [followed,] sought & worshiped. 

They shall not be gathered together, nor be buried. They shall be for [human fertilizer] upon the [surface] of the earth. [2 Kings 23:4-6 And the king commanded Hilkiah, the high priest, & the priests of the 2nd order & the door keepers, to bring out of the [Lord's] temple, all the vessels that were made for Baal & for the the grove & all the host of heaven. 

And he burned them [outside] Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron & carried the ashes of them to Beth El. And he [removed] the idolatrous priests, whom the king of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah & the places [around] Jerusalem & also [those who] burned incense to Baal & the sun, moon, planets & to all the [stars & constellations] of heaven.

And he brought [from] the [Lord's] house, out [of] the grove, [outside] Jerusalem, to the Brook Kidron & burned it at the Brook Kidron & stamped it to small powder & cast the powder [of it] upon the graves of the children of the people.]

And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the [rest] of [those who] remain of this evil family, [who remain] in all the places [where] I have driven them, says the Lord of Hosts.

[Also, you shall say to them, The Lord says [this;] Shall they fall & not arise? Shall they turn away & not return? Why then [has] this people of Jerusalem [slid] back [through] perpetual backsliding? They hold [tight to] deceit & they refuse to return.

[Jeremiah 5:3 O Lord, aren't Your eyes upon the Truth? You have [struck] them, but they haven't grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock & they have refused to return.]

I [paid attention] & heard but they [didn't speak what was right] & no man repented of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turned to his course, like a horse [races] into battle.

[Luke 15:6-7 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends & neighbors, saying to them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep [that were] lost. I say to you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner [who] repents, more than over 99 just [people, who] need no repentance.]

[Yes,] the stork in the heaven knows her appointed times & the turtle, crane & swallow observe the time of their [migration;] but My people [don't] know the judgment of the Lord. How do you say, We are wise & the Law of Lord is with us? [Look,] certainly, the [false] pen of the scribes [has converted] the Law [into a lie.] 

The wise men are ashamed & [discouraged & captured.] [Look,]they have rejected the Word of the Lord & what wisdom is in them? [Isaiah 19:11 Surely, the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel [to] the wise & counselors of Pharaoh [have] become [ignorant.] How shall you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?]

Therefore, I will give their wives to others & their fields to [those who] shall inherit them. For everyone from the [powerless,] even to the [powerful,] is given to [greed,] from the prophet, even to the priest, everyone deals falsely. 

[Zephaniah 1:13 Therefore, their goods shall become [plunder] & their houses [shall become] a desolation. They shall also build houses, but not inhabit them & they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine [of it.]

For they have slightly healed the [harm] of the daughter of My people, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they ashamed when they had committed [abominations?] [No,] they weren't at all ashamed, neither could they blush. Therefore, they shall fall among [those who] fall. In the time of their [punishment,] they shall be cast down, says the Lord.

[Revelation 19:20 And the beast was [captured] & with him, the false prophet that [did] miracles before him, that deceived [those who] received the mark of the beast & [those who] worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.] 

I will surely consume them, says the Lord. There shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree & the leaf shall fade. And the things that I have given them, shall pass away from them. 

Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves & let's enter into the [fortified] cities & let us be silent there. For the Lord our God has put us to silence & [has] given us water of [bitter] gall to drink, because we have sinned against the Lord. 

We looked for peace & no good came & [looked for] a time of health & [saw] [only] trouble! His horses snorting was heard from Dan & the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of His strong ones. For they [have] come & devoured the land & the city & those [who] dwell [there] & all that is in it. 

[Watch,] I will send [snakes & vipers,] among you, [that] will not be charmed & they shall bite you, says the Lord. When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is [grieved within] me. 

[Pay attention to] the [sound] of the [out] cry of the daughter of My people, because of [those who] dwell in a [distant] country. Isn't the Lord in Zion? Isn't her King in her? Why have they provoked Me to anger with their [carved] images & with strange vanities?

[Jeremiah 1:16 And I will [express] My judgments against them [about] all their wickedness. [Those] who have [abandoned] Me & have burned incense to other gods & worshiped the works [made] of their own hands.]

The harvest is past, the summer [has] ended & we aren't saved. [Because of] the [harm] of the daughter of my people, I am hurt. I am [mourning & wearing] black & astonishment has taken hold [of] me. Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? Why then, [hasn't] the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
