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 6:1-11 Ephraim & Judah Talk About Returning to the Lord to be Healed

 

Ephraim & Judah Talk About Returning to the Lord to be Healed

Hosea 6:1-11                      The Book of Hosea [in Smaller Chunks]

Come, & let us return to the Lord: for He has torn [us,] & He will heal us. He has [struck] [us] & He will [bandage] us up. After 2 days, He will revive us. [Deuteronomy 32:36-40 For the Lord shall judge His people, & Himself [grieve] for His servants, when He sees that their power is gone & there [are] none shut up, or left. 

And He shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in [which] they trusted, [that ate] the fat of their sacrifices & drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up & help you & be your protection. 

See, now, that I, even I, Am He, & there is no god with Me. I kill, & I make alive. I wound, & I heal. Neither is there any, [who] can deliver out of My hand. For I lift up My hand to heaven & say, I Live forever.] 

[On] the 3rd day, [like when He arose,] He will raise us up, & we shall live in His sight. [Ephesians 2:4-6 But God, Who is rich in mercy, [because of] His great love, [with which] He loved us, Even when we were dead [through our] sins, has [given life to] us together with Christ, & (by grace you are saved;) & has raised us up together & made us, sit together in heavenly places [with] Christ Jesus.] 

Then, we shall know, if we [continue to] follow & to know the Lord. His going [out] is [planned, like] the morning, & He shall come to us, [like] the rain & [like] the latter & [previous] rain, to the earth. 

[John 6:38-40 For I came down from heaven, not to do [My] Own will, but the will of Him, [Who] sent Me. And this is the Father's will, [Who] has sent Me, that all, [whom] He has given Me, I should lose [none,] but should raise it up again [on] the Last Day. 

And this is the will of Him, [Who] sent Me, [so] that everyone, [who] sees the Son, & believes [in] Him, may have everlasting life. And I will raise him up [on] the Last Day.]

O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your [faithfulness] is [like] a morning cloud, & [like] the early dew [that] goes away. Therefore, I have [cut ] them [down to size] by the prophets.  And by the Words of My mouth, I have [told] them [of their death.] 

[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; sorcerers; [sexual traffickers;] murderers, idolaters; & [whoever] loves & makes [up lies.] 

[Still,] Your judgments are [like] the light that goes [out.] [1 John 1:7 But if we [follow] in the LIght, [like] He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, & the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanses us from all sin.]

For I desired mercy & not [sacrifices] & [I desired] the knowledge of God, more than burnt offerings. For they have [sinned] against the covenant [contract] like men. They have [behaved] treacherously against Me there. [Ezekiel 23:37-39 They have committed adultery, & blood is [on] their hands. 

And they have committed adultery with their idols. And 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.]

Gilead is a city [for those, who] work [sinfully] & are [defiled] with [bloodshed.] [Isaiah 1:21 How the faithful city [has] become [a] harlot! It was full of [justice] & righteousness [stayed] in it; but now murderers.] 

And [like mobs] of robbers wait for a man, [to ambush,] so [does] the company of priests murder [on] the [road in agreement,] for they commit [what is] lewdness. 

I have seen [a] horrible thing in the house of Israel. The [unfaithful harlotry] of Ephraim is there & Israel is defiled. O Judah, He has also [arranged] a harvest for you, [for] when I [return] My people [from] captivity.   

[Zechariah 8:7-8 The Lord of Hosts says [this; Watch,] I will save My people from the East & West [countries.] And I will bring them, & they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be My people, & I will be their God, in Truth & in Righteousness.]
