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 42:1-22 Those Remaining in Judah Ask Jeremiah to Pray to the Lord God for Them

 

Those Remaining in Judah Ask Jeremiah to Pray to the Lord God for Them

Jeremiah 42:1-22                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

Then, all the captains of the [troops;] Johanan, [Kareah's] son; Jezaniah, [Hoshaiah's] son; & all the people form the [powerless] to the [powerful] came near & said to Jeremiah, the prophet, We [beg that] you let our [request] be accepted before you & pray to the Lord your God for us, even for all [those remaining.] 

For we are [only] but a few of many [left,] as your eyes do [see] us. [So,] that the Lord your God may [declare to] us the way [in which] we may [follow] & the thing that we may do.

Then, Jeremiah, the prophet, said to them, I have heard you. [See,] I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words. And it shall [happen,] that I will declare [to] you [whatever] the Lord shall answer you. I will keep nothing back from you. 

Then, they said to Jeremiah, The Lord [is] a True & Faithful Witness between us. If we don't even [do] according to all [the] things [that] the Lord your God shall send to us [through] you, whether it's good or [bad,] we will obey the voice of the Lord our God. 

And it [happened] after 10 days, that the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. Then, [Jeremiah] called Johanan, [Kareah's] son; all the captains of the [troops] with him; & all the people from the [powerless] to the [powerful.] 

And [Jeremiah] said to them, the Lord, the God of Israel, to Whom you sent me to present your [request] before Him, says [this;] If you will still [stay] in this land, then I will build you [up] & not [tear] you down. And I will plant you & not pluck you up. For I [will withdraw from] the evil that I have done to you. 

[Jeremiah 18:7-8 At what instant I should speak [about] a nation & a kingdom, to pluck [it] up & to [tear] it down & destroy it, if that nation, against whom I have announced [this,] turns from their evil, I will [withdraw from] the evil that I have thought to do to them.]

[Don't] be afraid of [Babylon's] king, of whom you are afraid. The Lord says, [Don't] be afraid of him, for I Am with you to save & deliver you from his hand. And I will [show] mercies to you, [so] that he may have mercy upon you & [have] you return to your own land.

But if you say, We won't dwell in this land & neither obey the voice of the Lord your God, [by] saying, No, we will go into the land of Egypt & we will dwell there, where we shall see nor war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger for [food.] 

Therefore, now hear the Word of the Lord, you [remaining] of Judah, The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this;] If you [totally focus] your faces on [entering] into Egypt & to go to [stay] there; then it shall [happen,] that the sword, [that] you feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt. 

And the famine, [of which] you were afraid, shall follow close after you, there in Egypt & you shall die there. So, it shall be with all the men, [who focus] their faces to go into Egypt to [stay] there. They shall die by the sword, famine & by pestilence. 

And none of them shall remain or escape from the [disaster] that I will bring upon them. For the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this;] As [My] anger & My fury has been poured [out] upon the [residents] of Jerusalem, so shall My fury be poured [out] upon you. 

When you shall enter Egypt, you shall be [detestable,] an astonishment, a curse & a [disgrace] & you shall no [longer] see this place. The Lord has said [about] you, O you [remaining] of Judah; [Don't] you go into Egypt. Know [for certain] that I have [warned] you this day. 

For you [pretended within] your hearts, when you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Pray for us to the Lord our God & declare [it] to us & we will do, according to all that the Lord our God shall say. 

And now I have declared it this day to you; but you haven't obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, nor anything which He has sent me to [tell] you. Therefore, now know [for certain] that you shall die by the sword, famine & pestilence, in the place [where] you desire to go & to [stay.]
