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 47:1-23 Ezekiel's Vision of Waters Coming from the Lord's House

 

Ezekiel's Vision of Waters Coming from the Lord's House

Ezekiel 47:1-23             The Book of Ezekiel [in Smaller Chunks]

Afterward, he brought me again to the door of the [Lord's] house. And [I] [saw] waters [flowed] out from under the threshold of the [Lord's] house [toward the East.] For the [front] of the [Lord's] house [faced] East & the waters came [flowing] down from under the right side of the house, at the South side of the altar. 

[Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be [on] that day, that Living Waters shall go from Jerusalem: half of them toward the [Eastern] sea, [a.k.a. The Dead Sea,] & half toward the [Western] sea, [a.k.a. The Mediterranean Sea] & it shall be in the summer & in the winter.]

Then, he brought me out the [road] of the North Gate, & led me [around] [on] the [road outside] to the [outer] gate by the [road facing East] & [saw] there, waters ran out on the right side. And when the man, [who] had the [measuring] line in his hand, went [toward the East,] he measured 1,000 cubits. 

And he brought me through the waters. The waters were [up] to the [ankles.] Again, he measured 1,000 [cubits] & brought me through the waters & the waters were [up to] the knees. Again, he measured 1,000 & brought me through & the waters were [up] to the [waist.] 

Afterward, he measured 1,000 & it was a river that I couldn't [cross] over: for the waters [had] risen & [were] waters to swim in, a river that couldn't be [crossed] over. 

And he said to me, Son of man, [have] you seen this? Then, he brought me & [made] me return to the brink, [a.k.a. edge,] of the river. [Revelation 22:1 And he [showed] me a pure river of [the] Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God & [the throne] of the Lamb.] 

Now, when I had returned, [I] [saw,] at the [river's] bank, [there] were many trees on one side & on the other. Then, he said to me, These waters [flow] out toward the East [region,] & go down into the desert & go into the sea, which [is] brought [out] into the sea [so,] the waters shall be healed. 

And it shall [happen,] that everything that lives & moves, [wherever] the rivers shall [go,] shall live. And there shall be a [large] multitude of fish, because these water shall come [there, because] they shall be healed. And everything shall live, [where] the river [goes.] 

And it shall [happen,] that the fishers shall stand upon [the banks] from En Gedi, even to En Eglaim. They shall be a place [for spreading out] nets. Their fish shall be [many,] according to their [many different] [types, like] the fish of the Great Sea, [with] [exceedingly] many. 

But the [muddy] places of it & [its] marshes, shall not be healed, but they shall be [overwhelmed by] salt. And by the rivers, upon [its] bank, on this side & on that side, all trees, whose [leaves] shall not [fade] & shall grow for [food.] Neither shall the fruit [of it] [fail to produce.] 

It shall bring new fruit, according to [its] months, because their waters [flow] out of the sanctuary. And the fruit [of it] shall be for [food] & [its leaves] for medicine. [Revelation 22:2 In the midst of [its] street, on either side of the river, there was the Tree of Life, which [bears] 12 [types] of fruit & produces its] fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.] 

The Lord God says [this;] This shall be the border, [by which] you shall inherit the land, according to the 12 tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have 2 portions. And you shall [each] inherit it, one as well as another. [But] [related  to this,] I lifted up [My] hand to give it to your [forefathers.] 

[Psalm 106:24-26 [Yet,] they despised the pleasant land. They [didn't believe] His Word; but [grumbled] in their tents & [didn't pay attention] to the voice of the Lord. Therefore, He lifted up His hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness. 

And this land shall fall to you for an inheritance. [Genesis 12:7 *And the Lord appeared to Abram, [a.k.a. Abraham,] and said, I will give this land to your seed, [a.k.a. offspring or descendants.] And he [built] an altar there to the Lord, Who appeared to him.] 

And this shall be the [borders] of the land toward the North side, from the Great Sea, [follow] the [road] of Hethlon, [travel a route] [like] men go to: Zedad; Hamath; Berothah; Sibraim, which [are] between the borders of Damascus & the border of Hamath, [all the way to:] Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran. 

And the [borders] from the sea shall be: Hazar Enan; the border from Damascus; & [toward the North;] & from the border of Hamath. And this is the North side.

And [on] the East side, you shall measure [the boundary] from [between] Hauran; from Damascus; and from Gilead & from the [border of the] land of Israel, [on the other side] by the Jordan [River,] from the border [all the way to the] East sea, [a.k.a. The Dead Sea.] And this is the East side. 

And the South side [is toward the] South from Tamar, even [all the way] to the Waters of Strife, [a.k.a. The Waters of Meribah,] in Kadesh, [along] the river to the Great Sea, [a.k.a. The Mediterranean Sea.] And this is the South side. 

Also, [on] the West side, [the border] shall be [from] the Great Sea, [until] a man comes [next to] Hamath. This is the West side. You shall divide this land, [like this,] to you, according to the tribes of Israel. 

And it shall [happen,] that you shall divide it by lot, [a.k.a. randomly,] for an inheritance to you & to the strangers, [who temporarily stay] among you, [who] shall [father] children among you. And they shall be to you [like] [they were] born in the country, among the children [people] of Israel. 

They shall have [an] inheritance with you, among the tribes of Israel. And it shall [happen,] that in [whichever] tribe the stranger, [temporarily stays,] you shall give him his inheritance there, says the Lord God.
