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 43:1-13 The Proud Men of Judah Tell Jeremiah He's Speaking Falsely

 

The Proud Men of Judah Tell Jeremiah He's Speaking Falsely

Jeremiah 43:1-13                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

And it [happened] when Jeremiah had [finished] speaking, all the Words of the Lord their God, to all the people, even all these Words, for which the Lord their God had sent [Jeremiah] to them. 

Then, Azariah, [Hoshaiah's] son; Johanan, [Kareah's] son & all the proud men [spoke] to Jeremiah, saying, You speak falsely. The Lord our God hasn't sent you to say, [Don't] fo into Egypt to [stay] there.

But Baruch, [Neriah's] son, [puts] you against us, [in order] to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, [so] that they might carry us away [captive] into Babylon & put us to death. 

So, Johanan, [Kareah's] son, & all the captains of the [troops] & all the people [didn't obey] the voice of the Lord, to [remain] in the land of Judah. 

But, Johanan, [Kareah's] son & all the captains of the [troops,] took all [those remaining] of Judah, [who had] returned to dwell in the land of Judah, from all nations, [where] they had been driven. 

Even: men; women; children; the king's daughters; & every person, [whom] Nebuzar Adan, the captain of the guard, had left with Gedaliah, [Ahikam's] son, [who was] the son of Shaphan; [plus] Jeremiah, the prophet; & Baruch, [Neriah's] son. So they came into the land of Egypt, for they [didn't obey] the voice of the Lord. 

They even came [like this] to Tahpanhes, [a city in Egypt.] Then, the Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, Take [large rocks] in your hand, in the sight of the men of Judah & hide them in the clay [by the oven to make bricks, that] is at the [entrance] of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes.

And say to them, the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel says [this; Watch,] I will send & take Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, My servant & will [put] his throne upon these [rocks] that I have [hidden] & he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

[Jeremiah 25:9 The Lord of Hosts says, [Watch,] I will send & take all the families of the North & [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, My servant & will bring them against: this land & the [residents of it] & the nations [around them] & will [totally] destroy them & make them an astonishment, [hissed at,] & [continually desolate.] 

And when he comes, he shall [strike] the land of Egypt & deliver such as are [determined] for death, to death; and such as are [determined] for captivity, to captivity; and such as are [determined] for the sword, to the sword. 

[Revelation 13:10 Here is the patience & the faith of the saints: He, [who] leads [others] into captivity, shall go into captivity. He, [who] kills with the sword, must be killed with the sword.] 

And I will [start] a fire in the houses of [Egypt's] gods & he shall burn [the idols] & carry them away [captive.] And he shall [clothe] himself with the land of Egypt, [like] a shepherd puts on his [clothing.] 

And he shall go [out] from [there] in peace. He shall also break the images of images of Beth Shemesh, that [are] in the land of Egypt & shall burn with fire the houses of the [Egyptian's] gods.
