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 36:1-38 God Has Ezekiel Prophesy to the Mountains of Israel

 

God Has Ezekiel Prophesy to the Mountains of Israel

Ezekiel 36:1-38            The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

You, Son of man, also prophesy to the mountains of Israel & say, You, mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord. [Ezekiel 6:3-5 And say, You, mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord. The Lord God says [this] to the mountains; hills; rivers; & valleys, [Watch,] I, even I, will bring a sword upon you & I will destroy your high places. 

And your altars shall be desolate & your images shall be broken. And I will [throw] down your slain men [in front of] your idols. And I will lay the dead [corpses] of the children [people] of Israel [in front of] their idols. And I will scatter your bones [all around] your altars.]

The Lord God says [this;] Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are [our possession.] [Ezekiel 25:3-4 And say to the Ammonites, Hear the Word of the Lord God. The Lord God says [this;] Because you said, Aha, against: My sanctuary when it was [defiled;] the land of Israel, when it was desolate, & the house of Judah, when it went into captivity. 

Therefore, [look,] I will deliver you to the men of the East for a possession. And they shall set their palaces [within] you & make their dwellings in you, they shall eat your fruit & drink your milk.] 

Therefore, prophesy & say, The Lord God Says [this;] Because you are [captured by] the [mouths] of talkers & [have a bad reputation with] many of the people, they have made you desolate & swallowed you up on every side, [so] you might be a possession to the [rest] of the heathen. 

Therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord God. The Lord God says [this] to the mountains; hills; rivers; valleys; desolate [wastelands;] & the [abandoned] cities, which became [plunder] & [mocked by] the [rest] of the heathen that are [all around there.] 

Therefore, The Lord God says [this;] Surely, I have spoken in the fire of My jealousy against the [rest] of the heathen & all [of] Idumea, [a.k.a. Edom, who] have [assigned] My land [as] their possession, with all the joy of their [hearts] & [spiteful] minds, to cast it out for [plunder.] 

[Ezekiel 35:10-11 Because you [have] said, These 2 nations & these 2 countries shall be mine & we shall possess it, [even though] the Lord was there. Therefore, The Lord God says, As I Live, I will even do according to your anger & your envy which you [have delivered from] your hatred against them. And when I have judged you, I will make Myself known among them.] 

Therefore, prophesy [about] the land of Israel & say to the mountains; hills; rivers; & valleys; The Lord God says [this; See,] I have spoken in My jealousy & in My fury, because you have [carried] the shame of the heathen. [Ezekiel 34:29 And I will raise up a plant of [honor] for them & they shall no [longer] be consumed [by] hunger in the land, [or] bear the shame of the heathen anymore.] 

Therefore, the Lord God says [this;] I have lifted up [My] hand & surely, the heathen, [who] are [all around] you, shall bear their shame. But you, O mountains of Israel, shall [sprout] out your branches & [produce] your fruit [for] My people of Israel. For they are [about] to come. 

For, [see,] I Am for you & I will [return] to you & you shall be tilled, [a.k.a. cultivated,] & sown, [a.k.a. planted.] And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it. And the cities shall be inhabited & the [wastelands] shall be [rebuilt.]

[Isaiah 61:4 And they shall [rebuild] the old [ruins;] they shall raise up the [previous] desolations; & they shall repair the [deserted] cities & the desolations of many generations.]

And I will multiply man & [animals] upon you & they shall increase & [produce] fruit. And I will [restore] you, [according to] your [previous state] & will do better [for] you than at your beginning. And you shall know that I Am the Lord. 

[Isaiah 43:5-6 [Don't] fear: for I Am with you. I will bring your [descendants] from the East & gather you from the West. I will say to the North, Give up; & to the South, [Don't withhold.] Bring My sons from far [away] & My daughters from the ends of the earth.] 

[Yes,] I will cause men to walk upon you, even My people, Israel. And they shall possess you & you shall be their inheritance. And you shall no [longer deprive] them of men, [from now on.] The Lord God says [this;] Because they say to you, Your land [devoured] up men & has [deprived] your nations [of loved ones.] 

Therefore, you shall no [longer] devour men & neither bereave your nations anymore, says the Lord God. [Numbers 32:13 And the Lord's anger [grew] against Israel, [who] had done evil in the sight of the Lord. And He made them wander in the wilderness 40 years, until the generation was consumed.] 

Neither will I cause men [within] you, to hear the shame of the heathen anymore. Neither shall you [carry the disgrace] of the people anymore. Neither shall  you [make] your nations to [be overthrown] anymore, says the Lord God. 

[Isaiah 60:14 Also, the sons of [those, who] afflicted you shall come bending to you & all [those, who] despised you shall bow themselves down to the soles of your feet. And they shall call you, The City of The Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.]

[Also,] the Word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man, when the house of Israel [lived] in their own land, they defiled by their own [ways & actions.] Their [ways were] before Me, [like] the uncleanness of a woman removed [during her monthly cycle.] 

[For this reason,] I poured [out] My fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land & for their idols, [with which] they had [defiled] it. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery & blood is [on] their hands. And they have committed adultery with their idols. 

And they 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.] 

And I scattered them among the heathen & they were [distributed throughout] the countries. I judged them according to their [ways & actions.] [Revelation 22:12-15 *And, [watch,] I come quickly; & My reward is with Me & shall be to give every man according as 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;] murderers; idolaters; & [whoever] loves & makes [up lies.]

And [where] they went & when they entered [among] the heathen, they profaned My Holy Name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord & [they] [have] gone out [from] His land. 

[Ezekiel 20:30-31 For when you offer your gifts & make your sons pass through the fire, you [defile] yourselves with all your idols, even [until] this day. And shall I be [inquired] of by you, O house of Israel? 

The Lord God says, As I Live, I won't be [inquired] of by you. And [what] comes into your mind, shall not be at all, [when] you say, We will be [like] the heathen, [like] the families of the countries, to serve wood & stone.] 

But I had pity for [My] Holy Name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen [where] they went. Therefore The Lord God says [this;] to the house of Israel, I don't [do] this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for [My] Holy Name's sake, [that] you have [defiled] among the heathen, [where] you went. 

And I will sanctify My Great Name which you have profaned among the heathen, in the midst of them. The Lord God says, And the heathen shall know that I Am the Lord, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen & gather you out of all countries & will bring you into your own land. 

[Ezekiel 37:23 And neither shall they defile themselves anymore with their: idols; their detestable things, or with any of their [sins,] in [which] they have sinned. But I will save them [from the places they dwelled] & will cleanse them: so they [are] My people & I will be their God.] 

Then, I will sprinkle clean water upon you & you shall be [cleansed] from all your filthiness & I will cleanse you from your idols. [Isaiah 44:22 I have blotted out all your transgressions [like] a thick cloud [blocks the sky] & your sins, [like] a cloud. Return to Me; for I have Redeemed you.]

Also, I will give you a new heart & I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart [from] your flesh, & I will give you a heart of flesh. [Jeremiah 32:39 And I will give them one heart & one [path, so] that they may fear [respect] Me forever, for [their] good & [for] their children after them.] 

And I will put My Spirit within you & cause you to [follow] in My [mandates.] And you shall keep My judgments & do them. And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your [forefathers] & you shall be My people & I will be your God.

I will also save you from alI your uncleanness. And I will call for the [rain] & will increase your [grain] & [won't make any] famine upon you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree & the [increased produce] of the field, [so] that you shall no [longer] receive famine [or disgrace] among the heathen. 

[Ezekiel 34:27  And the tree of the field shall yield [its] fruit & the earth shall yield [its increased produce.] And they shall be safe in their land & shall know that I Am the Lord, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, [a.k.a. oppression,] & delivered them out of the hand of those, [who made them serve them.] 

Then, you shall remember your own evil: ways & [actions] that weren't good. And you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your [sins] & your abominations. 

[Ezekiel 6:9 And [those, who] escape of you shall remember Me among the nations, [where] they shall be carried [captive,] because I Am broken with your [unfaithful adulterous] heart, which has departed from Me & their eyes which go after their idols, [like] [an unfaithful harlot.] And they shall loathe themselves for [all] the [evil that] they have committed [by] all their abominations.]

The Lord God says, I [don't] do this for your sakes. [Let] it be known to you & be ashamed & [ashamed] for your own ways, O house of Israel. [Deuteronomy 9:5 The Lord your God [drives] them out from before you, & you go to possess their land, not for your righteousness, or your [upright] heart, but [because of] the wickedness of these nations. [So, that] He may [accomplish] the Word [that] the Lord [swore] to your [forefathers.] 

The Lord God says [this; On] the day that I have cleansed you from all your [sins,] I will also cause you to dwell in the cities & the [ruins] shall be [rebuilt.] And the desolate land shall be tilled, [since] it lay [empty] in the sight of all [who] passed by [it.] 

And they shall say, This land that was desolate, & [has] become like the Garden of Eden. And the desolate [wastelands] & ruined cities [have] become fenced & are [lived in.] 

Then, the heathen, [who remain all around] you, shall know that I, the Lord, [rebuilt] the ruined places & [planted what] was desolate. I, the Lord, have spoken it & will do it. The Lord God says [this;] I will [still]  be [inquired] of by the house of Israel, to do it for them. 

I will increase [their] men, like a flock. [Like] a holy flock, the flock of Jerusalem, in her solemn feasts, so shall the [ruined] cities be filled with flocks of men & they shall know that I Am the Lord.
