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.

Hosea 14:1-9 Israel Returns to the Lord Their God

 

Israel Returns to the Lord Their God

Hosea 14:1-9                               The Book of Hosea [in Smaller Chunks]

O Israel, return to the Lord your God; for you [have] fallen, [because of] your [sinfulness.] [Return] to the Lord & take with you: words & say to Him, Take away all [our] [sinfulness,] & receive us graciously. So, we will [give] our lips [like the sacrifices] of calves. 

Asshur, [a.k.a. Assyria,] shall not save us & we won't ride upon horses. Neither will we any [longer] say to the [works] [made] [by] our hands, You are our gods: for the fatherless find mercy in you. 

[Psalm 106:34-39 They didn't destroy the nations, [about] whom the Lord commanded them: but were [mixed] among the heathen, & learned their works. And they served their idols; which were a snare to them. [Yes,] they sacrificed their sons & daughters to [demons.] 

And shed [the] blood [of the] innocent, even the blood of their sons & daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. And the land was [defiled] with [bloodshed.] [Like this,] they were defiled with their own works, & went [like unfaithful harlots] with their own inventions.]

I will heal their backsliding & I will freely love them. For [My] anger [has] turned away from [them.] I will be to Israel [like] the dew & he shall grow [like] the lily, & [thrust out] his roots [like] Lebanon. 

[Ephesians 3:16-17 That He would grant you, according to the [richness] of His glory, & to be strengthened with might, by His Spirit, [within] man, [so] that Christ may dwell in your heart by faith, [so] that you, [are] rooted & grounded in love.]

His branches shall spread & his beauty shall be [like] an olive tree, & his [aroma like] Lebanon. [Isaiah 11:1-4 *And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, & a Branch shall grow out of his roots. *And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him. 

The Spirit of wisdom & understanding, the Spirit of [advice] & [strength,] & the Spirit of knowledge & of the fear [respect] of the Lord. And shall make Him of [immediate] understanding in the fear [respect] of the Lord. 

And He shall not judge [according to] the sight of His eyes, & neither [reprimand, according to what] His ears [hear.] But He shall judge the poor with righteousness, & [repay] the meek with equity. And He shall [strike] the earth with the rod of His mouth, & He shall slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.]

[Those who] dwell under His [shade] shall return & they shall [be] [revived like] the [watered] corn & grow [like] the vine. [John 15:1-2 I Am the True Vine, & My Father is the [Vineyard Keeper.] He takes away every branch in Me that [doesn't produce] fruit. And every branch that [produces] fruit, He [prunes] it, [so] that it may [produce] more fruit.] 

The scent [of it] shall be [like] the wine in Lebanon. Ephraim shall say, What [do] I have to do with idols anymore? I have heard him & [watched] him. I Am like a green fir tree. Your fruit from Me is found.

[Whoever] is wise, shall he understand [all] these things? [Whoever is] prudent, [a.k.a. cautious,] shall he know them? For the ways of the Lord are [righteous] & the just shall [follow] in them. But the [sinners] shall fall [by them.]

[Revelation 22:12-15 *And, [watch,] I come quickly & My reward is with Me & shall be to give every man according [like] his [deeds.] I Am [the] Alpha & 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; [sexual traffickers;] murderers; idolaters; & [whoever] loves & makes [up lies.]
