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 39:1-18 When Babylon's King Attacks Jerusalem

 

When Babylon's King Attacks Jerusalem

Jeremiah 39:1-18                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

[During] the 10th month [of] the 9th year of Zedekiah, [Judah's] king [ruled,] Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, & all his army came against Jerusalem & [attacked] it. And [during] 9th day, [of] 4th month [of] the 11th year, Zedekiah [ruled,] the city was broken up. 

And all the princes of [Babylon's] king came in & sat in the Middle Gate, even: Nergal Sharezer; Samgar Nebo; Sarsechim; Rab Saris; Nergal Sharrezer; & Rab Mag; with all the [rest] of the princes of [Babylon's] king. [Proverbs 31:23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.]

And it [happened,] when Zedekiah, [Judah's] king, saw them & all the men of war, then they fled. And went out of the city [at] night, by the [road] of the king's garden, [between] the 2 walls by the gate & [Zedekiah] went out [on] the [road] of the plain.

But the Chaleans' army pursued after them & overtook Zedekiah in the Plains of Jericho. And when they had [captured] him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar, [Babylon's] king, [at] Riblah, in the land of Harmath, where he [pronounced] judgment on [Zedekiah.] 

Then, [Babylon's] king, [killed Zedekiah's] sons, [in front of] his eyes. Also, [Babylon's] king, [killed] all [Judah's] nobles. [Additionally, Nebuchadnezzar] put out Zedekiah's eyes & bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon. And the Chaldeans burned the king's house & the [people's] houses with fire & broke down the walls of Jerusalem. 

Then, Nubuzar Adan, the captain of the guard, carried away captive to Babylon, the [rest] of the people, [who] remained in the city, [with] those [who had defected] to him. 

But Nebuzar Adan, the captain of the guard, left in the land, the poor of the people, [who] had nothing in the land of Judah & gave them vineyards & fields at the same time.

Now, [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, gave charge, [a.k.a. control] to Nebuzar Adan, the captain of the guard, [related] to Jeremiah, saying, Take him & look after him well & don't harm him. But do to him, [just like] he [says] to you.

So, Nebuzar Ardan, the captain of the guard sent: Nebushasban; Rab Saris; Nergal Sharezer; Rab Mag & all the king of Babylon's princes. And they sent & took Jeremiah out of the prison [courtyard] & [gave control of Jeremiah] to Gedaliah, [Ahikam's] son, [who was] the son of Shaphan, [so] that he [could take Jeremiah] home. 

So, [Jeremiah lived] among the people. Now, while Jeremiah was shut up in the [courtyard] of the prison, the Word of the Lord had [come] to Jeremiah, saying, Go & speak to Ebed Melech, the Ethiopian, saying, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this; Look,] I will bring My Words upon this city for [bad] & not for good.

And they shall be accomplished [on] that day, [in front of] you. But I will deliver you [on] that day, says the Lord. And you shall not be given into the hand of the men, of whom you are afraid. 

For I will surely deliver you & you shall not fall by the sword, but your life shall be for a [prize] to you; because you have put your trust in Me, says the Lord.
