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 26:1-21 The Lord God Brings King Nebuchadnezzar Against Tyrus

 

The Lord God Brings King Nebuchadnezzar Against Tyrus

Ezekiel 26:1-21             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

And it [happened on] the 1st day of the month, [of] the 11th year, that the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, because Tyrus, [a.k.a. Tyre,] has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she, [who] was the [gateway to] the people, is broken. She [has] turned to me & I shall be replenished, now she is laid [to] waste. 

[Ezekiel 27:3-4 Say to Tryus, O you, [who] are [situated] at the [entrance] of the sea, [who is] a merchant of the people for many [coastal islands.] The Lord God says [this;] O Tyrus, you have said, I [have] perfect beauty. Your borders are in the midst of the seas & your builders have perfected your beauty.]

Therefore, The Lord God says [this; Look,] I am against you, O Tyrus & will cause many nations to come up against you, [like] the sea causes [its] waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus & break down [its] towers. I will also scrape her dust from [off] her & make her like the top of a rock. 

It shall be a place for spreading [the] nets, in the [middle] of the sea. For I have spoken it, says the Lord God. And it shall become [plunder] to the nations. [Ezekiel 27:32 And in their wailing, they shall take up [mourning] for you & [grieve] over you, saying, What city is like Tyrus, the destroyed in the midst of the sea?] 

And her daughters, [who] are in the field shall be slain by the sword & they shall know that I Am the Lord. [Amos 1:9-10 The Lord says [this;] For 3 transgressions & for 4, I won't [withdraw its] punishment; because they delivered up [all of  those from] captivity to Edom & [didn't] remember the covenant of [brethren.] But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, [that] shall devour [its] palaces.] 

For The Lord God says [this; Look,] I will bring Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, a king of kings, from the North, with horses; chariots; horsemen, [troops;] & [many] people upon Tyrus.

[Nebuchadnezzar] shall [kill] your daughters in the field with the sword & make a fort against you & [throw up an embankment around] you & lift up the [shield] against you. 

And he shall set engines of war, [a.k.a. battering rams,] against your walls. And with his axes, he will break down your towers & [because] of the abundance of his horses, their dust shall cover you. 

Your walls shall shake at the noise of the: horsemen; [wagon] wheels; & chariots, when he shall enter into your gates, [like] men enter into a city [in which] a [gap] is made. With the [hooves] of his horses, he shall [trample] down your streets. 

He shall [strike down] your people [with] the sword. And your strong [battalion] shall go down to the ground. And they shall make [plunder] of your riches & make your merchandise a [prize.] 

And they shall break down your walls & destroy your [nice] houses. And they shall [put] your stones; timber; & dust in the midst of the water. [Ezekiel 27:32 And in their wailing, they shall take up [mourning] for you & [grieve] over you, saying, What city is like Tyrus, destroyed in the midst of the sea?] 

And I will cause the [sound] of your songs to [stop] & the sound of your harps shall no [longer] be heard. And I will make you like the top of a rock. You shall be a place to spread nets upon. You shall no [longer] be [rebuilt.] For I, the Lord, have spoken it, says the Lord God. 

The Lord God says [this] to Tyrus, [Shouldn't] the [coastal islands] shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry [out] & when the slaughter is made in the midst of you? 

Then, all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones & take away their robes & [take] off their [embroidered] garments & they shall clothe themselves with trembling. They shall sit upon the ground & shall tremble every moment & be astonished [about] you. 

And they shall take up [grieving] for you & say to you, How are you destroyed, that was inhabited [by] seafaring men, the [famous] city, [that] was strong [on] the sea. She & her inhabitants, [shall] cause their terror to be on all [who visit] it!  Now, the [coastal islands] shall tremble [on] the day of your fall. 

[Yes,] the [islands] that are in the sea shall be troubled at your departure. For the Lord God says [this;] When I shall make you a desolate, [a.k.a. empty,] city, like the cities that aren't inhabited, when I shall bring up the deep [waters] on you  & great waters shall cover you. 

I shall [put] glory in the land of the living, when I shall bring you down with [those who] descend into the pit, with the people of [ancient] times, & shall [put] you in the [lowest] parts of the earth, in desolate places of old, with [those who] go down to the pit & you aren't inhabited. 

I will make you a territory & you shall no [longer exist, although] you [are searched] for, [still] you shall never be found again, says the Lord God. [Ezekiel 27:36 The merchants among the people shall hiss at you & you shall be a terror & never shall be anymore.]
