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 5:1-15 Foretelling of the Birth of Jesus, the Son of God

 

Foretelling of the Birth of Jesus, the Son of God

Micah 5:1-15        The Book of Micah [in Smaller Chunks]

*Now, gather yourself [into] troops, O daughter of troops. He has [prepared a battle] against us, & they shall [strike] the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. 

[Luke 22:63-64 And the men, [who] held Jesus mocked Him & [struck] Him. And when they had blindfolded Him, they struck Him on the face & asked Him, saying, Prophesy, who it is that [struck] you?] 

*But you, Bethlehem Ephratah, [although] you [are] little among the 1,000's of Judah, [still] out of you, He shall come forth to Me, [Who] is to be ruler in Israel. Whose goings [out] have been, [since] of old, from everlasting. 

[Matthew 2:3-6 When king Herod had heard these things, he was troubled, & all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests & scribes of the people together, he demanded of them, Where Christ should be born? 

And they said to [Herod,] In Bethlehem of Judaea, [a.k.a. Judea:] for [like this] it is written by the prophet, *And you Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, [a.k.a Judah,] aren't the least among the princes of [Judah:] for out of you shall come a Governor, [a.k.a Ruler,] that shall rule My people, Israel.]

Therefore, He will give them up, until the time that she, [who labors] has [delivered.] Then, the [rest] of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel. [Micah 7:18 Who is a God [similar] to You, [Who] pardons [sin,] & passes by the transgression of the [rest] of His heritage? He [doesn't] retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy.]

And He shall stand & feed in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the Name of the Lord His God. And they shall [remain] for now. He shall be great, to the ends of the earth. [Luke 1:31-33 *And, [watch,] you shall conceive in your womb, & bring forth a Son, & shall call His Name JESUS. 

He shall be great, & shall be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God shall give to Him the throne of His [forefather,] David. *And He shall [rule] over the house of Jacob forever. And there shall be no end of His Kingdom.]

And when the Assyrian shall come into our land, this Man shall be the peace. And when [they] shall [walk] in our palaces, then we shall raise 7 shepherds, & 8 [important] men against him.

[Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ: by Whom, we also have access to this grace by faith, [upon which] we stand & rejoice in hope of the glory of God.] 

And they shall [ruin] the land of Assyria with the sword & [ruin] the land of Nimrod, in [its] [gate] entrances. [Like this,] He shall deliver us from the Assyrian, when he comes into our land & [walks] within our borders. 

And the [rest] of Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel,] shall be in the midst of many people, [like] dew from the Lord, & [like] the showers upon the grass that [doesn't wait] for man, nor [waits] for the sons of men. 

[Psalm 72:6-7 He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: [like] showers that water the earth. [During] His days, the righteous shall flourish, & [an] abundance of peace, [as] long as the moon endures.] 

And the [rest] of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people, [like] a lion among the [animals] of the forest, [like] a young lion among the flocks of sheep. Who, if he [goes] through, both to [trample] down & to [tear into] pieces, [but no one] can deliver. 

Your hand shall be lifted up [against] Your adversaries, & all Your enemies shall be cut off, [a.k.a. destroyed.] The Lord says, And it shall [happen, on] that day, that I will cut off your horses out of the midst of you. And I will destroy your chariots. 

[Isaiah 2:6-8 Therefore, You have [abandoned] Your people, the house of Jacob, because they [are reinforced] from the East, & are soothsayers, [a.k.a. fortune tellers or psychics,] like the Philistines. And they please themselves in the children of strangers. 

Their land is also full of silver & gold. Neither is there any end of their treasures. Their land is also full of horses, & neither is there any end of their chariots. Their land is also full of idols. They worship the work [made by] their own hands, that their own fingers have made.] 

And I will cut off the cities of your land, & throw down all your strongholds. And [from] your hand, I will cut off: [witchcraft] & you shall no [longer] have soothsayers. I will also cut off your [carved] images, & your standing images out of the midst of you.

And you shall no [longer] worship the work [made by] your hands. [Zecharaiah 13:2 And The Lord of Hosts says, It shall [happen on] that day, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, & they shall no [longer] be remembered. And I will also cause the prophets & the unclean [spirits] to [leave] out of the land.]

And I will [pull] up your groves out of the midst of you. I will [also] destroy your cities. [2 Kings 17:10-12 And they [put] up images & groves [for themselves] [on] every high hill & under every green tree. 

And there they burnt incense in all the high places, [like] the heathen did, whom the Lord carried away before them. And [brought about] wicked things to provoke the Lord to anger. For they served idols, [of which] the Lord had said to them, You shall not do this thing.]

And in anger, I will [carry out] vengeance & fury upon the heathen, such as they haven't heard [of.] [Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, [don't] avenge yourselves, but [instead] give place to wrath, [a.k.a. anger,] for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; & I will repay, says the Lord.]
