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 47:1-7 Telling the Day Comes to Plunder the: Philistines, Tyrus & Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon]

 

Telling the Day Comes to Plunder the: Philistines, Tyrus & Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon]

Jeremiah 47:1-7                               The Book of Jeremiah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah, the prophet, against the Philistines, before Pharaoh [struck] Gaza. The Lord says [this; See,] waters rise up out of the North & shall be an overflowing flood & shall overflow the land & all that is [in it:] the city & [those who live] there. 

Then, the men & all the inhabitants of the land shall cry [out] & shall howl. The [Philistine] fathers shall not look back [for] their children, because [of their feeble] hands; at the [sound] of the stamping hoofs [of Nebuchadnezzar's] strong horses & the rumbling wheels of his [roaring] chariots. [Nahum 3:2 The [sound] of: a whip; the rattling wheels; [galloping] horses; & [jostling] chariots.] 

Because the day comes to [plunder] all the Philistines & to  cut off every helper, [who] remains from Tyrus & Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon.] For the Lord will [plunder] the Philistines & the [rest] of the country of Caphtor. 

[Ezekiel 6:13-14 Then, you shall know that I Am the Lord, when their slain men shall be among their idols [all around] their altars & upon every high hill & in the tops of the mountains & under: every green tree & every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet [incense] to all their idols. 

So, I will stretch out My hand upon them & make the land desolate. [Yes,] more desolate in all their [residences] than the wilderness toward Diblath. And they shall know that I Am the Lord.]

Baldness [has] come upon Gaza. Ashkelon is cut off with the [rest] of their valley. How long will you cut yourself? [Jeremiah 48:37-38 For every head shall be bald & every beard clipped. Upon all the hands shall be cuttings & sackcloth upon the [waists.] 

Generally, there shall be [mourning] upon the housetops of Moab & in [its] streets. For I have broken Moab, like a [hard, clay] vessel, [in which] there is no pleasure, says the Lord.] 

O you sword of the Lord, how long will it be [before] you [are at peace?] Put yourself up into your scabbard; rest & be still. [Jeremiah 12:11-12 They have made it desolate & being desolate, it mourns to Me. The whole land is made desolate, because no man [takes] it to heart. 

The [plunderers have] come upon all [the] high places through the wilderness. For the sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of the land, even to the other end of the land. No [living] shall have peace.] 

How can it be quiet, [since] the Lord has given it a [responsibility] against: Ashkelon & the sea shore. He has appointed it there. [Isaiah 10:6 I will send him against a: hypocritical nation, [a.k.a. saying one thing and doing another,] & the people of My [anger.] I will give him a [responsibility,] to take the [plunder] & the [prize] & to [trample] them down like the [mud in] the streets.]
