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.

Ezekiel 11:1-25 The Stew Pot and the Meat

 

The Stew Pot and the Meat

Ezekiel 11:1-25            The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

[Additionally,] the Spirit lifted me up & brought, [a.k.a. transported] me into the East Gate of the Lord's house, [facing] eastward. And I [saw] 25 men at the [gate's] door. Among whom, I saw Jaazaniah, [Azur's] son,] & Pelatiah, [Benaiah's] son, [both] princes of the people. 

Then, he said to me, Son of man, these are the men [who invent plots] & give wicked [advice] in this city. [Those who] say, It isn't [time,] let's build houses. [Ezekiel 7:2-4 You, Son of man, the Lord God also says [this] to the land of Israel. An end. The end has come upon the 4 corners of the land. Now, the end [has] come upon you. 

And I will send [My] anger upon you & will judge you according to your ways. And will [repay] you, [for] all your abominations. And [my] eye shall not spare you & neither will I have pity. But I will [pay you back,] [for] your ways, & your abominations shall be in the midst of you. And you shall know that I Am the Lord.] 

This city is the caldron, [cooking pot,] & we are the flesh, [a.k.a. meat.] [Ezekiel 24:6 [For this reason,] the Lord God says [this;] Woe to the bloody city, to the pot, whose scum is [in it.] And whose scum hasn't gone out of it! Bring [the scum] out [bit] by [bit] & let no lot fall upon it.] 

Therefore, prophesy against them. Prophesy, O Son of man. And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me & said to me, Speak. The Lord says [this;] O house of Israel, you have said [this;] for I know the things that come into your mind, everyone of them.

You have multiplied your [murdered] in this city. And you have filled [its] streets with the [dead.] Therefore, the Lord your God says [this;] Your slain, whom you have laid in the midst of it, are the flesh & this city is the caldron. But I will bring you out of the midst of it. 

[2 Kings 16:3 But he [followed] in the [ways] of the kings of Israel. [Yes,] & made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the Lord cast out [in front of] the children [people] of Israel.] 

You have feared the sword & I will bring a sword upon you, says the Lord God. [Jeremiah 42:16 Then, it shall [happen,] that the sword that you feared, shall overtake you there, in the land of Egypt & the famine, [in which] you were afraid, shall follow close [behind] you there in Egypt & you shall die there.] 

And I will bring you out of the midst [of it] & deliver you into the hands of strangers & will [carry out] judgments among you. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery & blood is [on] their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols & have also caused their sons, whom they [bore] to Me, to pass through the fire, to devour them, for [idols.] 

[Additionally,] they have done this to Me. They have defiled My sanctuary; [on] the same day & have profaned My Sabbaths. For when they had [sacrificed] their children to their idols, then they came the same day into My sanctuary to profane it. And, [look,] they have done [this] in the midst of [My] house.]

You shall fall by the sword & I will judge you [on] the border of Israel & you shall know that I Am the Lord. This city shall not be your caldron & neither shall you be the [meat] in the midst of it. But I will judge you [on] the border of Israel. And you shall know that I AM the Lord. 

For you haven't [followed] in My [mandates] & neither [have you] [carried out] My judgments; but have done [like] the [customs] of the heathen, [who] are [all around] you. [Psalm 1-6:34-38 They didn't destroy the nations, [about] whom the Lord commanded them. But they were [mixed] among the heathen & learned their works.

And they served their idols, which were a snare to them. [Yes,] they sacrificed their sons & daughters to [demons] & shed [the] blood [of the] innocent, even their sons & daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan & the land was polluted with blood.]

And it [happened,] when I prophesied, that Pelatiah, [Benaiah's] son, died. Then, I fell down upon my face & cried [out] with a loud voice & said, Ah, Lord God! Will You make a [complete] end of the [rest] of Israel? 

Again, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, your brethren, even your [relatives,] the men of your [family] & all the house of Israel, are [totally those] to whom the [residents] of Jerusalem have said, Get [yourselves] far from the Lord. 

This land is given to us [as a] possession. Therefore say, The Lord God says [this;] Although I have cast them far [away] among the heathen & I have scattered them among the countries, [still] I will be a little sanctuary, where they shall come, in the countries. 

Therefore say, The Lord God says [this;] I will even gather you from the people & assemble you [from] the countries where you have been scattered & I will give you the land of Israel. 

[Jeremiah 24:5 The Lord, The God of Israel says [this;] Like these good figs, I will [also] acknowledge [those who] are carried away captive [from] Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans, for their [own] good, [a.k.a. safety.] 

And they shall come [there] & they shall take away all the detestable things & abominations from [there.] And I will give them one heart & I will put a new spirit within you. 

And I will take the heart [of stone from] their flesh & will give them a heart of flesh: [so] that they may [follow] in My [mandates] & keep My [rules] & do them. And they shall be My people & I will be their God. But as for [those] whose heart [follows] after their detestable things & abominations, I will [repay] their ways upon their own heads, says the Lord God. 

[Revelation 22:12-15 And, [watch,] I come quickly & My reward shall be, to give every man according, [like] his deeds. I Am [the] Alpha & [the] Omega, the Beginning & the End, the First & the Last. 

Blessed are [those who] do His commandments, [so] that they may have right to the Tree of Life & may enter in through the gates into the city. For [outside] are: dogs; sorcerers; [sexual traffickers;] idolaters & [whoever] makes [up] & loves [to tell lies.]

Then, the cherubims [lifted] up their own heads, says the Lord God. Then, they [lifted] up  their wings & the wheels beside them. And the glory of the God of Israel was over, above them. [Ezekiel 1:19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels went [next to] them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.] 

And the glory of the Lord went up from the midst of the city & stood [over] the mountain, which is on the East side of the city. [Ezekiel 43:2 And [I] [saw] the glory of the God of Israel came from the [road from] the East. And His voice was like the [sound] of many waters & the earth [shines] with His glory.] 

Afterwards, the Spirit took me up & brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, [a.k.a. Babylon,] to [those who were in] captivity. So the vision that I had seen [left] from me. Then, I [spoke] all the things that the Lord had [shown] me, to [those captive.]
