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.

Amos 9:1-15 They May Try to Get Away, but It Won't Work

 

They May Try to Get Away, but It Won't Work

Amos 9:1-15                        The Book of Amos [in Smaller Chunks]

I saw the Lord standing [over] the altar & He said, [Strike] the lintel, [a.k.a. post, over] the door [frame, so] that the [door] posts may shake, & cut them in [their heads,] [when it falls on] all of them. And I will slay the last of them, with the sword. He, of them, [who] flees, shall not [escape.] 

And he, [who] escapes of them, shall not be delivered. [Although] they may dig to hell, [My] hand shall take them [from] [there.] [Although] they climb up to heaven, I will bring them down [from] [there.] [Jeremiah 23:23-27 The Lord says, Am I a God [close] at hand, & not a God [far away?] 

The Lord says, Can any hide himself in secret [places, so] that I shall not see him? Don't I fill heaven & earth? says the Lord. I have heard what the prophets said, [who] prophesy lies in My Name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed, [a.k.a. had a vision.] 

How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets, [who] prophesy lies? [Yes,] they are prophets of the deceit of their own [hearts, who] think to cause My people to forget My Name, by their dreams [that] every man [tells] to his neighbor, [like] their [forefathers] have forgotten My Name, [instead] for Baal.]

And [although] they hide themselves [on] the top of Carmel, I will search & take them out [from] [there.] And [although] they [are hidden] from My sight in the bottom of the sea, I will command the serpents [there] & he shall bite them. And [although] they go into captivity [in front of] their enemies, I will command the sword [there,] & it shall slay them. 

And I will [focus My] eyes upon them for [harm] & not for good. [Leviticus 17:10-11 And [whatever] man there [is] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers, [who stay] among you, [who] eats any [type] of blood; I will even [focus] My face against that soul, [who] eats [with the] blood, & will cut him off from among his people.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood. And I have given it to you, [for] upon the altar, to make an atonement for your souls. For it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.] 

And the Lord God of Hosts is He, [Who] touches the land, & it shall melt.            [2 Peter 3:9-10 The Lord is not slack, [a.k.a. slow, about] His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness. But is [patient toward] us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

But the day of the Lord will come [like] a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with great noise, & the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth & also the works, [a.k.a. things made,] that are [in there,] shall be burned up.]

And all, [who] dwell [in there] shall mourn. And it shall [totally] rise up like a flood; & shall be drowned, [like] by the flood, of [the Nile River] of Egypt. It is He, [Who builds] His [mansion] in heaven [with many] stories. 

[John 14:2-3 In My Father's house are many mansions. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go & prepare a place for you, I will come again, & receive you unto Myself; [so] that where I Am, you may also be there.] 

And [has established] His troops [on] the earth. [Joel 2:11 And the Lord shall utter His voice [in front of] His army. For His camp is very [large.] For He [carries out] His Word, & is strong. For the day of the Lord is great & very terrible, & who can [bear] it?] 

He, [who] calls for the waters of the sea & pours them out upon the [surface] if the earth. The Lord is His Name. The Lord says, Aren't you, O children [people] of Israel, [like] [the] children of the Ethiopians? Haven't I brought Israel up, out of the land of Egypt? 

And [brought] the Philistines from Caphtor, & the Syrians from Kir? [Jeremiah 47:4 Because of the day that comes to [plunder] all the Philistines, & to cut off from Tyrus, [a.k.a. Tyre,] & Zidon, [a.k.a. Sidon,] every helper [who] remains. For the Lord will [plunder] the Philistines, & the [rest] of the country of Caphtor.]

[Look,] the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, & I will destroy it from off the [surface] of the earth; [except] that I won't [totally] destroy the house of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] says the Lord. 

For, [look,] I will command, & I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like [flour from grain] is sifted in a sieve, [a.k.a. strainer.] [Still,] not the least, [a.k.a. smallest,] grains shall fall upon the earth. 

[Isaiah 65:8-9 The Lord says [this; Like] the new wine is found [within] the cluster, & [someone] says, [Don't] destroy it; for a blessing is [within] it, so I will do from My servants' sakes, [so] that I may not destroy all [of] them. And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, & out of Judah, an inheritor of My mountains. And [My] elect, [a.k.a. Chosen,] shall dwell there.] 

All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, [who] say, The evil shall not [overpower] us, nor [hinder] us. *[On] that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David, that [has] fallen, & close up, [a.k.a. repair] the breaches, [a.k.a. damages, of it.] 

And I will [rebuild] it [like during the previous] days. [So,] that [those] may possess the [rest] of Edom & all of the heathen, [who] are called by My Name, says the Lord, [Who] does this. 

[2 Samuel 8:13-15 And David [got] a name [for himself,] when he returned from [killing] 18,000 men of the Syrians in the Valley of Salt. And throughout all Edom, he put garrisons, & all [those] of Edom became David's servants. And the Lord preserved, [a.k.a. saved,] David, [wherever] he went.] 

The Lord says, [Look,] the days come that the [man who plows] shall overtake the [harvester.] And the [trampler] of grapes [shall overtake] him, who sows [seed.] And the mountains shall [drip] down sweet wine, & [shall flow down] all the hills [like melting snow.] 

And I will [return] again, [those] of My people of Israel, [from] captivity. And they shall [rebuild] the [ruined] cities, & inhabit them. And they shall plant vineyards & drink [its] wine. They shall also make gardens, & eat the fruit [from] them. 

And I will plant them [in] their land, & they shall no [longer] be pulled up, out of their land, which I have given them, says the Lord your God. [Isaiah 60:21 Your people, the work of My hands, the Branch of My planting, all shall also be righteous. They shall inherit the land forever, so] that I may be glorified.]
