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 4:1-13 They Shall Beat Their Swords into Plow Shares

 

They Shall Beat Their Swords into Plow Shares

Micah 4:1-13        The Book of Micah [in Smaller Chunks]

But [during] the last days, it shall [happen,] that the mountain of the [Lord's] house shall be established [on] the top of the mountains & it shall be exalted above the hills. And the people shall flow to it. 

And many nations shall come & say, Come & let's go up to the [Lord's] mountain, & to the house of the God of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.] And He will teach us His ways, & we will [follow] in His paths: for the Law shall go [out] of Zion, & the Word of the Lord, [shall go out] from Jerusalem. 

[Luke 24:45-48 Then, He opened their understanding, [so] that they might understand the scriptures. And said to them, [Like this,] it is written, & [like this,] it [was necessary for] Christ to suffer, & to rise from the dead the third day. [So,] that repentance & remission of sins, [could] be preached in His Name, among all nations, beginning [in] Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things.]

And He shall judge among many people & [chastise] strong nations [far away.] And they shall beat their swords into plow shares, [a.k.a. plow blades,] [& beat] their spears into [hooks for pruning,] Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation & neither shall they learn war any more. 

But every man shall sit under his vine & under his fig tree. And [no one] shall make them afraid. For the mouth of the Lord of Hosts [has] spoken it. For all people & everyone will walk in the name of his god, [but] we will [follow] in the Name of the Lord our God forever & ever. 

The Lord says, [On] that day, I will assemble [the lame,] & gather [the outcasts,] & [those] that I have afflicted. [Matthew 11:2-5 Now, when John had heard in prison the works, [a.k.a. miracles,] of Christ, he sent 2 of his disciples. And [they] said to Him, Are you He, [Who] should come, or do we look for another? 

Jesus answered, & said to them, Go, again & [declare] to John, those things which you do hear & see. *The blind receive their sight, & the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, & the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, & the poor have the gospel preached to them.] 

I will make [those lame,] a remnant, & [make] the [outcasts] a strong nation. And the Lord shall [rule] over them in Mount Zion from [now on,] even forever. [Zephaniah 3:19 [Watch,] at that time, I will undo all that afflicted you. I will save [those who were lame,] & gather [those who were outcasts.] And [give] them praise & fame in every land, where they have been put to shame.] 

And unto you, it shall come, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter of Zion, even the [previous] dominion; the Kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. [Revelation 1:5-8 *And from Jesus Christ, [Who] is the faithful witness, & the first [born] of the dead, & the [ruler] of the kings of the earth. 

[For] Him, [Who] loved us, & washed us from our sins in His Own blood. And has made us, kings & priests to God & His Father. To Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen.

[Watch,] He comes with clouds & every eye shall see Him. And also [those, who] pierced Him. And all [the families] of the earth shall wail, because of Him, Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] Is, & [Who] Was, & [Who] Is to come, the Almighty.] 

Now, why [do] you cry out [loud?] Isn't there [any] king in you? [Have] your [counselors] perished? For [your] [pains] have taken [hold of] you, [like] a woman in [labor.]  Be in pain & labor to [deliver,] O daughter of Zion, Like a woman in [labor.]

For now you shall go forth out of the city, & you shall dwell in the field. And you shall even go to Babylon. And you [shall] be delivered there. The Lord shall redeem you there, from the hand of your enemies.

[2 Chronicles 36:18-20 And all these [king Nebuchadnezzar,] brought to Babylon: all the vessels [from] the house of God, [big] & small, & the treasures [from] the [Lord's] house, & the treasures of the king & his princes. 

And they burnt the house of the God, & [broke] down the wall of Jerusalem, & burnt all [its] palaces with fire, & destroyed all [its pretty] vessels. And he carried away to Babylon, [those, who] escaped from the sword. They were servants to him, & his sons, until the [rule] of the kingdom of Persia.] 

Now, many nations have also gathered against you, that say, Let her be defiled, & Let our eye look upon Zion. [Jeremiah 51:34 Nebuchadrezzar, [a.k.a. Nebuchadnezzar, Babylon's] king, has devoured me; he has crushed me & he has made me an empty vessel. Like a dragon, he has swallowed me up. And he has filled his belly with my [delicacies,] & he has me out.] 

But they [don't] know the thoughts of the Lord, & neither [do] they understand His [advice.] For He shall gather them, [like] sheaves [of wheat] [onto] the floor. [Jeremiah 51:33 For The Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says [this;] The daughter of Babylon is like a floor [for] threshing. It is time to thresh her. [Still,] [in] a little while, the time of her harvest shall come.]

Arise & thresh, O daughter of Zion. For I will make your horn: iron, & I will make your [hooves:] brass. And you shall beat many people to pieces. And I will consecrate their gain & their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.

[Isaiah 18:7 [At] that time, the present shall be brought to the Lord of Hosts, [from] a people scattered & peeled. And from a people terrible from their beginning, [until now.] A nation [measured] out & [trampled] under foot, whose land, the rivers have spoiled, [all the way] to the place of the Name of the Lord of Hosts, Mount Zion.]
