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 30:1-26 Egypt's Foundation Shall Be Broken Down

 

Egypt's Foundation Shall Be Broken Down

Ezekiel 30:1-26             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word of the Lord came again to me, saying, Son of man, prophesy & say, The Lord God says [this;] Howl ye, [with distress suitable for] the day! For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day. It shall be a time [for] the heathen. [Obad 15 For upon all the heathen, the day of the Lord is near. [Like] you have done, it shall be done to you. Your reward shall return upon your own head.] 

And the sword shall come upon Egypt & great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt. And they shall take away [the] multitude [of Egypt's wealth] & her foundations shall be broken down.

Ethiopia; Libya, [a.k.a. Put;] Lydia, [a.k.a. Lud;] Chub & all the [mixed] people & the men of the land, [who have joined] in league, [a.k.a. in alliance,] shall fall with them by the sword. 

The Lord says [this;] Also, those, [who support] Egypt shall fall. And the pride of her power shall come down: from the Tower of Syene, [a.k.a. Migdol.] They shall fall [within] it, by the sword, says The Lord God. 

And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate. And her cities shall be in the [middle] of the cities that are [wastelands.] And when I have set: a fire in Egypt & all her helpers are destroyed, they shall know that I Am the Lord. 

[On that day, messengers shall go [out] from Me in ships to make the [secure] Ethiopians afraid. And great pain shall come upon them, [like during] the [days] of Egypt; for [look,] it comes. 

[Isaiah 18:1-2 Woe to the land, [shaded by] wings, which is beyond [Ethiopia's] rivers: that sends ambassadors by sea, even in vessels, [a.k.a. boats] [made] of bulrushes, [a.k.a. reeds,] upon the waters, saying, Go you swift messengers, to a nation, scattered & peeled, to a terrible people from their beginning [until now.] A nation [measured] out & [trampled] down, whose land, the rivers have [divided.]

The Lord God says [this;] I will also make the multitude of [Egypt's wealth] [stop,] at the hand of Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king. He & his people, the terrible of the nations, with him shall be brought to destroy the land. 

And they shall draw their swords against Egypt & fill the land with the [dead.] And I will make the rivers dry & sell the land into the hand, [a.k.a. under the control,] of the wicked. And I will make the land & all [who are in there, desolate,] at the hand of strangers. I, the Lord, have spoken it. 

[2 Kings 19:24-25 I have [dug] & drunk strange waters & with the [soles] of My feet, I have dried up all the rivers of the places [that are under attack & are surrounded.] Haven't you heard [from] long ago how I have done [this,] & of ancient times how I have [devised] it? Now, I have [had it happen, so] that you should lay [to] waste [the] [fortified] cities into ruinous heaps.]

The Lord God says [this;] I will also destroy the idols & I will [make] their images to [stop] out of Noph. And in the land of Egypt, there shall no [longer] be a prince. And I will put fear in the land of Egypt. 

[Zechariah 13:2 And The Lord of Hosts says, it shall [happen on] that day, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land & they shall no [longer] be remembered. And I will also cause the prophets & the unclean spirit to [leave] out of the land.] 

And I will make Pathros desolate & will set a fire in Zoan & will [carry out] judgments in No. [Isaiah 10:11-12 [Shouldn't] I do [like] I have done to Samaria & her idols, [also] to Jerusalem & her idols? 

[For this reason,] it shall [happen,] when the Lord has [carried out] His whole work upon Mount Zion & on Jerusalem. I will punish the fruit, [a.k.a. offspring,] of the king of Assyria & the glory of his [arrogant] looks.] 

And I will pour [out] My fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt. And I will cut off the multitude [of wealth] in No. And I will set fire in Egypt. Sin shall have great pain & No shall be [torn down,] & Noph shall have daily [distress.] 

The young men of Aven, [a.k.a. On, or Heliopolis] & Pi Beseth shall fall by the sword. And these cities shall go into captivity. Also, at Tehaphnehes, [a.k.a Tahpanhes,] the day shall be darkened, when I break the yokes of Egypt there & the [pride] of her strength shall cease in her. 

As for her, a cloud shall cover her & her daughters shall go into captivity. [Like this,] I will [carry out] judgments in Egypt & they shall know that I Am the Lord. [On] the 7th day, [of] the 1st month, [during] the 11th year, the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, [a.k.a. defeated, Egypt's] king. 

And [look,] it shall not be [bandaged] up to be healed. [Neither] put [on] a roller to [tighten] it, to make it strong to hold the sword. Therefore, The Lord God says [this; Look,] I Am against Pharaoh, [Egypt's] king, & will break his arms & the strong [arm] & [the one] that was broken. 

And I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand. [Jeremiah 46:25-26 The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says, [Look,] I will punish the multitude of: No; Pharaoh & Egypt, with their gods; their kings; even Pharaoh & all [those, who] trust in him. 

The Lord says, And I will deliver them into the [hands] of those, [who] seek their lives & into the [hands] of [Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, & into the [hands] of his servants. And afterward, it shall be inhabited, [like] in the [ancient] days.]

And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations & will [distribute] them through [out] the countries. [Ezekiel 29:12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate. 

And her cities shall be desolate among the cities that are laid [to] waste, [for] 40 years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations & will [distribute] them through [out] the countries.] 

And I will strengthen the arms of [Babylon's] king & put My sword in his hand. But I will break Pharaoh's arms & he shall groan [in front of] him with the [groans] of a man [with] deadly [wounds.] But I will strengthen the arms of [Babylon's] king, & the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down. 

And they shall know that I Am the Lord, when I shall put My sword into the hand of [Babylon's] king. And he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations & [distribute] them among the countries & they shall know that I Am the Lord. 

[Ezekiel 29:13-15  [Still,] The Lord God says [this;] At the end of 40 years, I will gather the Egyptians from the people [where] they were scattered. And I will bring again, [those] of Egypt [from] captivity & will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land [they resided in.] And they shall be a [lowly] kingdom there.]
