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 13:1-27 The Lord has Jeremiah Hide His Sash that Gets Ruined Like Israel

 

The Lord has Jeremiah Hide His Sash that Gets Ruined Like Israel

Jeremiah 13:1-27                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord [said this] to me, Go & get [yourself] a linen [sash, a.k.a. girdle.] Put it upon your [waist] & [don't] put it in water. So, I got a [sash,] according to the Word of the Lord & put it on my [waist.] 

And the Word of the Lord came to me the 2nd time, saying, Take the [sash] that you have [gotten,] which is upon your [waist] & arise & go to [the] Euphrates [River] & hide it there in a hole of the rock. So, I went & hid it by [the] Euphrates [River, like] the Lord commanded me.

And it [happened] after many days, that the Lord said to me, Arise & go to [the] Euphrates & take the [sash] from [there, that] I commanded you to hide there. Then, I went to [the] Euphrates & [dug] & took the [sash] from the place where I had [hidden] it & [saw] that the [sash] was [ruined.] 

It was [beneficial] for nothing. Then, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, The Lord says [this,] [Like the sash,] I will [ruin] the pride of Judah & the great pride of Jerusalem. 

[Isaiah 2:11-12 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled & the [arrogance] of men shall be bowed down. And the Lord, Alone, shall be exalted [on] that day. For the day of the Lord of Hosts shall be upon everyone, [who] is proud & lofty. And upon everyone [who] is lifted up, he shall be brought low.] 

This evil people, [who] refuse to hear My Words, [who follow] the imagination of their heart & [follow] after other gods, to serve & worship them, shall even be [like] this [sash,] which is good for nothing. 

For the Lord says, [Like] the [sash clings] to the [waist] of a man, so have I caused the whole house of Judah to [cling] to Me, [so] that they might be for a people, a Name, praise & glory to Me. But they wouldn't [listen.] 

Therefore, you shall speak this Word to them; The Lord God of Israel says [this,] Every bottle shall be filled with wine & they shall say to you, [Don't] we certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine? 

Then, you shall say to them, The Lord says [this, Look,] I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings, [who] sit upon David's throne, the priests, prophets & all the [residents] of Jerusalem, with drunkenness. 

[Isaiah 28:7 But also they have erred through wine & strong drink & [have gone astray.] The priest & prophet have erred through strong drink & they are swallowed up [by] wine. They [have gone astray] through strong drink. They err in [visions] & stumble in judgment.]

And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers & sons together, says the Lord. I won't pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but [will] destroy them. You, hear & [listen] & [don't] be proud: for the Lord has spoken. 

Give glory to the Lord your God, before He [causes] darkness & before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains. And while you look for light He, [turns] it into the shadow of death & [makes it extremely dark.] 

[Joshua 7:19 And Joshua said to Achan, My son, I pray [that] you give glory to the Lord God of Israel & make confession to Him. And now, tell me what you have done. [Don't] hide it from me.] 

But if you won't hear it, My soul shall weep in secret places for your pride. And [My eyes] shall [severely] weep & run down with tears, because the Lord's flock is carried away captive. Say to the king & queen, Humble yourselves & sit down. For your [royalty is taken away,] even the crown of your glory. 

The cities of the South shall be [closed] up & none shall open them. Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it & it shall be [totally] carried away captive. Lift up your eyes & [see those who] come from the North. Where is the flock that was given [to] you, your beautiful flock? 

[Jeremiah 23:1-2 The Lord says, Woe to the pastors, [a.k.a. shepherds, who] destroy & scatter the sheep of My pasture! Therefore, the Lord God of Israel says [this] against the pastors [who] feed My people; You have scattered My flock & [have] driven them away & haven't visited them. [Watch,] I will visit upon you, [a.k.a. punish, for] the evil of your [actions,] says the Lord.] 

What will you say when He shall punish you? For you have taught them to be captains & [like leaders] over you. Shall sorrows not [overcome] you, [like] a woman in [labor?] And if you say in your heart, [Why do] these things come upon me? 

Your [robe] skirts [are uncovered] & your heels are made bare, for the [immenseness] of your [sin.] [Jeremiah 16:11 The Lord says, Then, you shall say to them, Because your [forefathers] have [abandoned] Me & have [followed] after other gods & have served & worshiped them & have [abandoned] Me & haven't kept My Law.]

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then, may you also do good, [those who] are accustomed to [doing] evil. Therefore, I will scatter them, [like] the stubble [blows] away by the wind of the wilderness. 

This is your lot & your portion [of your measured inheritance] from Me, says the Lord, because you have forgotten Me & trusted in [what is] falsehood. [Jeremiah 21:9 He [who remains] in this city shall die by the sword, famine & by pestilence. But he [who leaves & falls to the Chaldeans, [who attack] you, shall live & his life shall be [like a prize] to him.]

Therefore, I will [uncover &] [put] your [robe] skirts upon your face, [so] that your shame may [be visible.] [Hosea 2:10 And now I will [uncover] her lewdness in the sight of her lovers & none shall deliver her out of [My] hand.]

I have seen your adulteries, your [neighing,] the [vulgarity] of your [unfaithful harlotry] & the abominations on the hills & in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! [Won't] you be made clean? When shall it be [like it] once [was?] [Jeremiah 5:7-9 How shall I pardon you for this? Your children have [abandoned] Me & sworn [oaths] by [what] aren't gods. 

When I had fed them to [they're] full, then they committed adultery & assembled themselves by [groups] in the harlots' houses. They were [like] horses fed in the morning.

Everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife. The Lord says, Shall I not [punish them] for these things? [Shouldn't] My soul be avenged on a nation such as this?]
