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 17:1-27 The Sin of Judah is Written on Their Hearts

 

The Sin of Judah is Written on Their Hearts

Jeremiah 17:1-27                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The sin of Judah is written with [an] iron pen & a diamond point. It is [engraved] upon the [tablet] of their heart & upon the horns of your altars. [Leviticus 16:17-18 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goes in to make an atonement in the Holy Place, until he [comes] out & [has] made an atonement for himself, his household & for all the congregation of Israel. 

And he shall go out [to] the altar that is before the Lord & make atonement for it. And shall take [some] of the blood [from] the [bull] & blood [from] the goat & put it upon the horns on the altar [around] [on each of its 4 corners.] 

[While] their children remember their altars & their groves, by the green trees upon the high hills. [Judges 3:5-7 And the children [people] of Israel [lived] among the: Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites & Jebusites. 

And they took their daughters to be their wives & gave their daughters to their sons & served their gods. And the children [people] of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord & [forgot] the Lord their God & served Baalim, [a.k.a. Baal] & the groves.] 

O, My mountain in the field, I will give your [possessions] & all your treasures [as plunder] & your high places [because of your] sin, throughout all your borders. And you, even yourself, shall [cease] from your heritage that I gave you. 

And I will cause you to serve your enemies in the land [that] you [don't] know. For you have [started] a fire in [My] anger, which shall burn forever. [Romans 1:18 For the [fury] of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness & unrighteousness of men, who [suppress] the truth [by what is unrighteous.] 

The Lord says [this;] Cursed [is] the man, [who] trusts in man & makes flesh his arm & whose heart departs from the Lord. [Isaiah 52:10 The Lord has made bare His Holy arm in the eyes of all the nations. And all the ends of the earth shall see the Salvation of our God.]

For he shall be like the [wastelands] in the desert & shall not see when good comes; but shall [reside in the very dry] places in the wilderness, in an [uninhabited] salt land.

[Deuteronomy 29:23 And that whole land [of it,] is brimstone, salt & burning, [so] that it isn't sown, nor [does it produce,] nor [does] any grass grow [in it,] like the overthrow of Sodom & Gomorrah, Admah & Zeboim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger & in His [fury.] 

Blessed is the man, [who] trusts in the Lord & whose hope is the Lord. [Psalm 5:11-12 But let all those, [who] put their trust in You, rejoice. Let them [always] shout for joy, because You defend them. Also, let [those, who] love your Name, be joyful in You. For You, Lord, will bless the righteous. You will [surround] him with favor, [like] with a shield.] 

For he shall be [like] a tree planted by the waters, that spreads out [its] roots by the river. And shall not [realize] when heat comes, but [its] leaf shall be green & shall not [have to be] careful in the year of drought, neither shall [it] cease from [producing] fruit. The heart is deceitful above all things & [is] desperately wicked. Who can know [what's in the heart?] 

[Matthew 15:18-20 But those things [that] proceed out of the mouth, come from the heart & they defile the man. For out of the heart [proceeds:] evil thoughts, [murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness & blasphemy.] These are the things that defile a man. But to eat with [unwashed] hands, [doesn't] defile a man.] 

I, the Lord, search the heart & I [test the heart strings,] even to give [to] every man, according to his ways & according to the fruit [resulting from] his [actions.] [Romans 8:26-28 [In the same way,] the Spirit, [a.k.a. Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost,] also helps our [weaknesses.] 

For we [don't] know what we should pray for, [like] we ought [to.] But the Spirit, Itself, makes intercession for us with the groanings, [a.k.a. pleadings, that] can't be uttered. 

And He, [Who] searches the hearts & knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints, according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for the good [of those who] love God & to [those] who are called, according to His purpose.] 

[Like] the partridge sits on eggs & [doesn't] hatch them; so [is] he, [who] gets riches & by [what isn't] right & shall leave them in midst of his days & at his end, shall be [considered] a fool. [Luke 12:20 But God said to him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you. Then, whose shall those things be, [that] you have provided?] 

The place of our sanctuary is a glorious high throne from the beginning. O Lord, the Hope of Israel, All [Who abandon] You shall be ashamed & [those who leave] from Me, shall be written in the earth. [Revelation 20:15 And [whoever] wasn't found written in the Book of Life, was cast into the lake of fire.] 

Because they have [abandoned] the Lord, the Fountain of Living Waters. [Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus, have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring of David & the Bright & Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him, [who hears] say, Come. And let him, [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever is willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.]

O Lord, heal me & I shall be healed. Save me & I shall be saved. For You are my praise. [Look,] they say to me, Where is the Word of the Lord? Let it now come. [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord isn't slack [related] to His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient] to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

*But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which, the heavens shall pass away with a great noise & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, also the earth & the [things made] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.]

As for me, I haven't [been quick] [about withdrawing] from being a pastor, [or from my work in following] You. Neither have I desired the [distressful] day. You know, [because wha] came out of my lips was right before You.

[Jeremiah 1:9-10 Then, the Lord put [out] His hand & touched my mouth. And the Lord said to me, [Look,] I have put My words in your mouth. This day, [see,] I have [put] you over the nations & kingdoms to [uproot] & pull down, destroy, throw down, [rebuild] & to plant.]

[Don't] be [terrifying] to me. You are my hope [on] the day of [doom.] Let [those] be [ashamed, who] persecute me, but [don't] let me be [discouraged.] Bring upon them, the day of [doom] & destroy them with double destruction. 

[Revelation 18:5-6 For her sins have reached to heaven & God has remembered her iniquities. Reward her, even as she rewarded you & double to her, double according to her [deeds.] In the cup [that] she has filled, fill to her double.] 

The Lord said [this] to me; Go & stand in the gate of the children [of the common] people, [in which Judah's] kings come in & go out & in all the gates of Jerusalem. And say to them, You, hear the Word of the Lord, you kings of Judah & all Judah & all [residents] of Jerusalem, [who] enter in by these gates. 

The Lord says [this; You pay attention, for] yourselves & [don't carry] any burden on the Sabbath Day, nor bring it in [through Jerusalem's] gates. Neither carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath Day & neither [should] you do any work, but you [shall keep Holy] the Sabbath Day, as I commanded your [forefathers.] 

But they [didn't] obey, neither [did they lean] their ear [to hear,] but made their neck stiff, [a.k.a. stubborn,] nor [did they] receive instruction. [Jeremiah 7:24 But they [didn't pay attention,] nor [leaned] their ear, but [followed] in the imagination of their evil heart & went backward & not forward.]

The Lord says, And it shall [happen,] if you diligently [pay attention] to Me, to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath Day, but [keep Holy] the Sabbath Day, to do no work [on it.] 

Then, kings & princes, [who sit] upon the throne of David, shall enter there into the gates of this city, riding in chariots & on horses. They, their princes, [Judah's] men & the [residents] of Jerusalem & this city, shall remain forever. [Revelation 3:20-22 [Look,] I stand at the door & knock. If any man [hears] My voice & [opens] the door, I will come in to him & will [dine] with him & he with Me. 

I will grant to him, [who] overcomes, to sit with Me [on] My throne, even as I also overcame & Am set down with My Father [on] His throne. He, [who] has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.] 

And they shall come from the: cities of Judah; places [around] Jerusalem; the land of Benjamin & the plain; from the mountains & the South, bringing: burnt offerings, sacrifices, meat offerings, incense & sacrifices of praise, to the [Lord's] house. 

But if you won't [pay attention] to Me, to [keep Holy,] the Sabbath Day & not [carry] a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath Day; then I will [start] a fire in [its] gates & it will devour [Jerusalem's] palaces & it shall not be [put out.] 

[Jeremiah 21:14 But I will punish you according to the fruit of your [actions,] says the Lord. And I will [start] a fire in the forest [of it] & it shall devour all things [around it.]
