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.

Nahum 1:1-15 The Vision About Nineveh

 

The Vision About Nineveh

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

The book of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite. The burden, [a.k.a. vision,] [against] Nineveh. God is jealous & the Lord revenges, [a.k.a. gets revenge.] The Lord [avenges] & is furious. The Lord will take vengeance on His adversaries, & reserves [anger] for His enemies.

[Exodus 20:4-6 You shall not make [for yourself] any [carved] image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth [below,] or that is in the water under the earth. 

You shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them. For, I, the Lord your God, Am a jealous God, visiting the [sin] of the fathers upon the children, [until] the 3rd & 4th generation of [those, who] hate Me, & showing mercy to 1,000's of [those, who] love Me, & keep My commandments.]

The Lord is slow to anger; great in power; & won't at all acquit, [a.k.a. find innocent,] the wicked. In the whirlwind & in the storm, the Lord has His [path] & the clouds are the dust [from] His feet. [Psalm 103:6-10 The Lord [carries out] righteousness & [justice] for all, [who] are oppressed. 

He makes His ways, [a.k.a. paths.] known to Moses, & His [actions] [known] to the children [people] of Israel. The Lord is merciful; gracious, slow to anger, & [has] [abundant] mercy. 

He will not always [scold,] & neither will He keep His anger forever. He hasn't dealt with us, [according] [to what] our sins [deserve.] Nor [has He] rewarded, [a.k.a. paid us back,] according to our [sinfulness.]

He [scolds] the sea, & makes it dry, & dries up all the rivers. Bashan [withers] & Carmel & the flower of Lebanon, [grow weak.] [Matthew 8:24-27 Therefore, I will [compare, whoever] hears these sayings of Mine, & does them, to a wise man, [who] built his house upon a rock. And the rains [came down,] & floods came. And the winds blew & beat upon the house, & it [didn't fall.] For it was founded, [a.k.a. established] upon a rock.

And everyone, [who] hears these sayings of Mine, & [doesn't do] them, shall be [compared] to a foolish man, [who] built his house upon the sand. And the rain [came down,] & the floods came. And the winds blew & beat upon that house, & it fell. And the fall of it was great, [a.k.a. enormous.]

The mountains quake at Him, & the hills melt. And the earth is burned at His presence. [Yes,] & the world, & all, [who] dwell [in it.] [Exodus 19:18-20 And Mount Sinai, [a.k.a. Mount Horeb,] was [totally] smoke, because the Lord [went down] upon it in fire & [its] smoke [went up like] the smoke of a furnace. 

And the whole Mount quaked. And when the [sound] of the trumpet [blared] long, & [grew] louder & louder. Moses [spoke,] & God answered him [with] a voice. And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on top of the Mount. And the Lord called Moses up to the top of the Mount & Moses went up.]

Who can stand still [in front of] His indignation? And who can [endure] the fierceness of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, & the rocks are thrown down by Him. [Malachi 3:2-3 But who may [endure] the day of His coming? And who shall stand when He appears? 

For He is like a refiner's fire, & like a [launderer's soap.] And He shall sit [like] a refiner & purifier of silver. And He shall purify the sons of Levi, & purge, [a.k.a. remove,] [impurities from] them [like] [from] gold & silver, [so] that they may offer to the Lord [sacrifices] in righteousness.]

The Lord is good, a stronghold, [a.k.a. a refuge, on] the day of trouble. And He knows [those, who] trust in Him. [Romans 10:7-9 But what [does] it say? The Word is [near] you, even in your mouth, & in your heart. 

That is, the Word of faith, which we preach: [so] that if you shall confess with your mouth: the Lord Jesus, & shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. 

For with the heart, man believes [which leads] to righteousness. And with the mouth, confession is made, [which leads] to Salvation.] 

But with an [overflowing] flood, He will make a [total] end of the place [of Nineveh.] And darkness shall pursue His enemies. What [plots] do you imagine against the Lord. Affliction shall not rise up a 2nd time, & He will make a [total] end. 

[Isaiah 8:7-8 Therefore, now [look,] the Lord brings the many, strong waters of the river, upon them, even [Assyria's] king, & all his glory. And he shall come up over all his [canals] & go over all his [river] banks. 

And he shall [cross] through Judah. And he shall overflow & go over. He shall even reach to the neck. And the [out stretching] of his wings, shall fill the breadth of your land, O [Emmanuel.]

For while they: [are intertwined] together [like] thorns, & are [drunk like] drunkards, they shall be devoured [like: totally] dry stubble. [Malachi 4:1 For, [watch,] the day comes, that shall burn [like] an oven. And all the proud, [yes,] & all [who] do wickedly, shall be stubble. And the day comes that shall burn them up, &  it shall leave them neither root nor branch, says the Lord of Hosts.] 

There is [someone,] [from] you, a wicked [advisor, comes, who plots] evil against the Lord. [Matthew 26:14-16 *Then, 1 of the 12, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. 

And said to them, What will you give me, & I will deliver Him to you? And they [contracted] with him, for 30 pieces of silver. And from that time, [Judas] sought [an] opportunity to betray Him.] 

The Lord says [this; Although] they [are] quiet & [also] [are] many, [still,] they shall be cut down [like] [this,] when he shall [cross] through. [Although] I have afflicted you, I will no [longer] afflict you. 

[Ezekiel 28:25-26 The Lord God says [this;] When I have gathered the house of Israel from the people, among whom they are scattered & [through] them, [I] shall be sanctified in the sight of the heathen, then they shall dwell in their land, that I have given to My servant Jacob, [a.k.a. Israel.]

And they shall dwell safely [there,] & shall build houses & plant vineyards. [Yes,] they shall dwell with confidence, when I have [carried out] judgments upon all those, [who] despise them, [all around] them. And they shall know that I Am the Lord their God.] 

For I will now break off his yoke, [a.k.a. burden, or oppression,] from you & will burst your [chains to pieces.] And, the Lord has given a commandment, [about] you, That no more of your [seed, with] your name [shall] be sown, [a.k.a. scattered, in] the house of your gods. 

I will cut off the [carved images] & the [molded images.] I will make your grave, for you are vile, [a.k.a. repulsive.] [1 Kings 14:9 But [you] have done evil above all, [who] were before you. For you have gone & made [yourself] other gods, & [molded] images, to provoke Me to anger, & [have thrown] Me behind your back.] 

[Look,] upon the mountains, O Judah, & [on] the feet of him, [who] brings good [news, who declares] peace! [Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach, [unless] they [are] sent? [Like] it is written, [in the Scriptures,] How beautiful are the feet of [those, who] preach the gospel of peace, & bring glad [news] of good things!]

Keep your solemn feasts, & [carry out] your vows. For the wicked shall no [longer cross] through you. They [are totally] cut off.
