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 19:1-15 The Warning to the Elders & the Broken Bottle

 

The Warning to the Elders & the Broken Bottle

Jeremiah 19:1-15                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Lord says [this,] God & get the potter's earthen, [a.k.a. clay] bottle, [taken from the elders] of: the people & the priests. And go [out into] the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which is by the [entrance] of the East Gate. And proclaim there the Words that I shall tell you. 

[2 Kings 23:9-10 [However,] the priests of the high places [didn't] come up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem, but they did eat the unleavened bread among their brethren. And He defiled Topheth, [a.k.a. Tophet,] which is in the Valley of the Children of Hinnom, so that no man might make his son or his daughter pass through the fire to Molech.] 

And say, You, hear the Word of the Lord, O kings of Judah & [residents] of Jerusalem. The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this; Watch,] I will bring [a catastrophe] upon this place & the ears of [whoever] hears [it,] shall tingle. 

[It's] because they have [abandoned] Me & have [made] this place [indifferent] & have burned incense in it to other gods, [that] neither they, their [forefathers,] nor the kings of Judah have known & have filled this place with the blood of [those who were innocent.] 

[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.]

Also, they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I [didn't command, nor [spoke] it. Neither [did it come] into My mind. The Lord says, Therefore, [look,] the days come, that this place shall no [longer] be called Tophet, nor The Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 

[Jeremiah 7:32-33 The Lord says, Therefore, [look,] the days come that it shall no [longer] be called Tophet, nor the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Tophet, [until] there [is] no place [remaining.] And the [corpses] of this people shall be meat for the [birds] of the [heavens] & for the [animals] of the earth & none shall [frighten] them away.] 

And I will make the counsel of Judah & Jerusalem [useless] in this place. And I will cause them to fall by the sword, [in front of] their enemies & by the hands of [those who] seek their lives. And I will give their [corpses] to be meat for the [birds] of heaven & for the [animals] of the earth. 

And I will make this city desolate & [to be hissed at.] Everyone, [who] passes [by there] shall be astonished & hiss because of all [its] plagues. [Exodus 9:14-15 For at this time, I will send all My plagues upon your heart & upon your servants & your people; [so] that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth. For now, I will stretch out My hand, [so] that I might [strike] you & your people with pestilence & you shall be cut off from the earth.]

And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons & daughters. And everyone shall eat the flesh of his friend in the [battle & famine with which] their enemies & [those who] seek their lives, shall [starve] them. [Ezekiel 5:9-11 And I will do in you, [what] I haven't done & I won't do any more [similarly,] because of all your abominations. 

Therefore, the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you & the sons will eat their fathers. And I will [deliver] judgments in you. And I will scatter into all the winds, [all] the [rest] of you. 

The Lord God says; As I live, [for this reason,] because you surely defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things & all your abominations, therefore, I will also [reduce] you & neither shall My eyes spare, [nor] will I have any pity.]

Then, you shall break the [clay] bottle in the sight of the men [who] go with you. And [you] shall say to them, The Lord of Hosts says [this;] Even so, I will break this people & this city, [like someone] breaks a potter's vessel, that can't be made whole again. 

And they shall bury them in Tophet, [until] there is no place to bury. [Revelation 2:27 *And He shall rule them with [an] iron rod, even [like] I have received [from] My Father & they shall be broken to [slivers, like clay] vessels of a potter.] 

The Lord says [this,] I will do to this place & to [its residents] & even make this city [like] Tophet. And the houses of: Jerusalem & the kings of Judah, shall be defiled [like] the place of Tophet, because of all the [rooftops] of houses, upon [which] they have burned incense to all the [stars & constellations] of heaven & have poured out drink offerings to other gods.  

Then, Jeremiah came from Tophet, [where] the Lord had sent him to prophesy. And [Jeremiah] stood in the the [courtyard] of the [Lord's] house & said to all the people, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this; Watch,] I will bring upon this city & upon all [its] towns, all the [doom] that I have pronounced against it, because they have [stubbornly, a.k.a. hardened their necks, so] that they might not hear My Words.
