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 43:1-27 Ezekiel's Vision About Purifying the Altar After Major Sins

 

Ezekiel's Vision About Purifying the Altar After Major Sins

Ezekiel 43:1-27             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

Afterward, he brought me to the gate, even the gate that [faces] toward the East. [Ezekiel 40:3-4 He brought me [there] & [I saw] there was a man, whose appearance was like the [resemblance] of brass, with a flax [measuring] line & a measuring reed in his hand & he stood in the gate. 

And the man said to me, Son of man, [look] with your eyes & hear with your ears. And [focus] your heart upon all that I shall [declare] to you, [in order] that I might [show] them to you. [That's why] you are brought [here.] Declare all you see to the house of Israel.] 

And [I saw,] the glory of the God of Israel came from the [road] in the East. And His voice was like the noise of many waters & the earth [shone, a.k.a. glowed,] with His glory. 

[Revelation 1:14-15 His head & His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow. And His eyes were [like] a flame of fire. And His feet [were similar] to brass, as if they burned in a furnace. And His voice [was] like the sound of many waters.]

And, [Who] I saw was according to the vision, even the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the [visions] that I saw by the River Chebar, [a.k.a. Kebar,] & I fell upon my face. [Ezekiel 1:28 This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. 

[Like] the appearance of the [rainbow] that is in the cloud [on a rainy] day. So was the appearance of the brightness [all around.] And when I saw it, I fell upon my face & I heard the voice of [the] One, [Who spoke.]

And the glory of the Lord came into the [Lord's] house, by the [gate's road facing] East. So, the Spirit took me up & brought me into the inner court. And [I saw] the glory of the Lord filled the house. And I heard Him speaking to me, [from inside] the house.

And the man stood by me. And He said to me, Son of man, the house of Israel & their kings shall no [longer] defile My Holy Name; the place of My throne; & the place of the soles of My feet, where I dwell in the midst of the children [people] of Israel forever, by their [acts of unfaithful harlotry,] nor by the [corpses] of their kings in their high places. 

They have even defiled  My Holy Name, by their abominations that they have committed, [by] their [idols'] threshold by My thresholds & their post, by My posts & the wall between Me & them. [For this reason,] I have consumed them in [My] anger. 

[2 Kings 21:4-7 And he built altars in the [Lord's] house, of which the Lord said, I will put My Name in Jerusalem. And he built altars for all the host, [a.k.a. stars, or constellations,] of heaven, in the 2 courts of the [Lord's] house. 

And he made his son pass through the fire; & observed times, [a.k.a. astrology or horoscopes;] used enchantments, & dealt with familiar spirits, [a.k.a. talking with the dead;] & wizards. He [brought about] much wickedness in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger. 

And he [put from] the grove, a [carved] image that he had made, [into] the [Lord's] house, of which the Lord said to David & Solomon, his son, I will put My Name forever in this house & in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.] 

Now, let them put away their [unfaithful harlotry,] & the [corpses] of their kings far from Me & I will dwell in the midst of them forever. You, Son of man, [declare] [about the Lord's] house, to the house of Israel, [so] that they may be ashamed of their [sinfulness] & let them measure [the temple's] pattern. 

And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, [show] them the [diagram] of the [Lord's] house & [its design;] and [its: exits & entrances & structure] of it. And all [its: rules; requirements; & laws of it.] And write [these] in their sight, [so] that they may keep [all the requirements & rules of it] & do them. 

This is the Law of the [Lord's] house; upon the top of the mountain, the whole [boundary surrounding all around it,] shall be Most Holy. [See,] this is the Law of the [Lord's] house. [Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great & high mountain & [showed] me that great city, the holy Juerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.] 

And these are the [measurements] of the altar, [according] to the [cubit.] The cubit is: a cubit [plus] a [hand's width.] Even [its] bottom shall be a cubit [long] & a cubit [wide.] And [its] border, by the edge [of it all around] shall be a [hand's] span. 

And this shall be the [highest] place of the altar. And from the bottom, [a.k.a. base,] on the ground, even to the lower [ledge] shall be 2 cubits & the [width] 1 cubit. And from the [lower ledge,] even to the [highest ledge,] shall be 4 cubits & the [width] 1 cubit. 

So, the altar shall be 4 cubits, & from the altar & [on the top] [corners] shall be 4 horns. [Exodus 27:2 And you shall make the horns of it upon the 4 corners [there.] [Its] horns shall be the same & you shall overlay it with brass.]

And the altar shall be 12 cubits long & 12 [wide] & square [within its] 4 square [corners of it.] And the [ledge] shall be 14 cubits long & 14 [wide, from] the 4 [corners of it.] And the border [around] it, shall be 1/2 a cubit, [around it.] And [its] stairs shall [face] toward the East. 

And he said to me, Son of man, The Lord God says [this;] These are the [rules] of the altar [on] the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings & to sprinkle blood [on it.] 

[Hebrew 9:21-22 [Also, Moses] sprinkled with [the] blood [on] both the tabernacle & all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are purged with blood, by the Law. And without [the] shedding of blood, [there] is no remission, [a.k.a. forgiveness.] 

And The Lord God says, You shall give a young [bull] for a sin offering, to the priests, the Levites, [who are] of the seed, [a.k.a. descendants] of Zadok, to minister to Me. And you shall take [some] of [its] blood & put it on the 4 horns of it, [that are] on [ts] 4 corners of the [ledge,] upon [its] border [all around it.] 

[By this,] you shall cleanse & purge it, [a.k.a. make atonement for it.] You shall also take the [bull] of the sin offering & he shall burn it in the appointed place of the [Lord's] house, [outside] the sanctuary. 

[Leviticus 4:11-12 And the skin of the [bull;] & all [its] flesh; with [its] head; & legs; [internal parts; & feces;] even he shall carry [out] the whole [bull, outside] the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out & burn him on the wood, with fire. [And] he shall be burnt where the ashes are poured out.] 

And on the 2nd day, you shall offer a kid [goat] without blemish, for a sin offering. And they shall cleanse the altar, [like] they [cleansed] it with the [bull.] When you have [finished] cleansing it, you shall offer a young [bull,] without blemish & a ram, out of the flock without blemish. 

And you shall offer them before the Lord & the priests shall [throw] salt upon them. And they shall offer them up for a burnt offering to the Lord. You shall prepare every day, [for] 7 days, a: goat for a sin offering & they shall also prepare a young [bull] & a ram out of the flock without blemish. 

[Leviticus 8:33 And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation [for] 7 days, until the days of your consecration [are finished.] [Because] he shall consecrate you for 7 days.] 

They shall purge the altar & purify it 7 days. And they shall consecrate themselves. And when these days are [finished,] it shall [happen] that the 8th day, [on,] the priests shall make your burnt offerings & peace offerings upon the altar. And I will accept you, [said] the Lord God.
