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.

Micah 1:1-16 Many of Israel Worship False gods

 

Many of Israel Worship False gods

Micah 1:1-16         The Book of Micah [in Smaller Chunks]

The Word of the Lord, that came to Micah, the Morasthite, [that] he saw [about] Samaria & Jerusalem, [during] the days of Jotham; Ahaz; & Hezekiah, [Judah's] kings. O earth, & all [who are in it, listen,] & all you people hear & let the Lord God witness against you, from [the Lord's] holy temple. 

For, [look,] the Lord comes out [from] His place, & will come down, & [walk] upon the [earth's] high places. And the mountains shall [melt beneath] Him. And the valleys shall be [separated & drip down] [like] wax [melts] [in front of] the fire, & [like] the waters that are poured down [from] a steep place. 

All this is for the transgressions of Jacob, & the sins of the house of Israel. 

[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 filling 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 a 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.]

What is the transgression of Jacob? Isn't it, Samaria? [2 Kings 17:16 And they left all the commandments of the Lord their God, & made [themselves] 2 [molded] images, even 2 calves, & made a grove, & worshiped all the host of heaven, [a.k.a. stars and constellations,] & served Baal.]

And [where] are the high places of Judah? Aren't they [in] Jerusalem? [1 Kings 14:22-23 And Judah did evil in the sight of the Lord, & they provoked Him to jealousy with their sins, [that] they had committed, above all that their [forefathers] had done. For they also built [themselves] high places, & images, & groves, on every high hill, & under every green tree.] 

Therefore, I will make Samaria [like a] [ruinous] heap [in] the field. And [like] planting [in] a [rocky] vineyard. And I will pour down [an avalanche of] stones [of it] into the valley. And I will discover, [a.k.a. uncover, its] foundations. 

And the [carved] images [of it,] be beaten to pieces, & all [those who played the unfaithful harlot,] shall be burned with fire. And I will [make] all [its] idols desolate. For she gathered it [like] the hire, [a.k.a. payment] of [a] harlot. 

[Revelation 17:1-2 And 1 of the 7 Angels came there, [who] had the 7 vials, & talked with me, saying to me, Come [here.] I will [declare] to you the judgment of the great [harlot, who] sits upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, [a.k.a. adultery.] And the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her [adultery.] 

Therefore, I will wail & howl & I will go mourning, stripped & naked. I will make wailing [sounds] like the [jackals] & [like] the owls. For her wound is incurable. For it [has] come [into] Judah & he [has] come to the gate of My people, even to Jerusalem. 

[2 Kings 18:13 Now, [during] the 14th year, king Hezekiah [ruled,] & Sennacherib, [Assyria's] king, [came] up against the fenced, [a.k.a. fortified,] cities of Judah & [captured] them.]

[Don't] declare it [in] Gath, & [don't] weep, at all. In the house of [Beth] Aphrah, roll yourself in the dust. You, having your shame, & naked, [go] away, you [inhabitants] of Saphir. The [inhabitants] of Zaanan, [didn't] come [out, during] the mourning of Beth Ezel. 

[From] you, he shall receive his standing, [a.k.a. reputation.] For the [inhabitants] of Maroth waited [cautiously] for good, but [disaster ] came down from the Lord, [into] the gate of Jerusalem. [Jeremiah 14:18-19 If I go [out] into the field, then [I] [see] the slain, [by] the sword! 

And if I enter into the city, then [I] [see those, who] are sick, [because of the] famine! [Yes,] both the prophet & the priest go [around] to a land that they [didn't] know. 

[Have] You [totally] rejected Judah? [Has] Your soul loathed Zion? Why [have] You [afflicted] us, & there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, & there is no good, & [looked] for the time of healing, & [saw] [only] trouble!] 

O you [inhabitants] of Lachish, [hitch] the chariot to the swift [horse.] She is the beginning of the sin [of] the daughter of Zion for the transgressions of Israel were found in you. [2 Kings 18:14-16 And Hezekiah, [Judah's] king, sent to Lachish, [Assyria's] king, saying, I have offended [you.] 

[Withdraw your troops] from me, & I will bear [whatever] you [put] upon me. And [Assyria's] king, [determined:] 300 talents of silver & 30 talents of gold, [for the payment of] Hezekiah, [Judah's] king. And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the [Lord's] house, & in the [treasury] of the king's house. 

At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the [Lord's] temple, & from the pillars [that] Hezekiah, [Judah's] king, had overlaid, & gave it to [Assyria's] king.] 

Therefore, you shall [still] give presents, [a.k.a. bribes or tribute,] to Moresheth Gath, & the houses of Achzib, shall [prove to be] a lie to the kings of Israel. [Still,] I will bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah. He shall come to Adullam, the glory of Israel. Make [yourself] bald, & [cut your hair,] for your delicate children. 

[Increase] your baldness, [like] the eagle; for they [have] gone into captivity from you. [Amos 5:25-27 Have you offered sacrifices & offerings to Me in the wilderness 40 years, O house of Israel? 

But you have [carried] the tabernacle of your: Moloch & Chiun, your images & the star of your god, [that] you have made [for] yourselves. Therefore, I will cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, says the Lord, Whose Name Is The God of Hosts.]
