It is so exciting to see that the Bible interprets itself and defines itself, especially in scriptures that need to be compared to other scriptures, in order to get a clear understanding of what they mean.
Remember, all scriptures have three applications — 1. Historic — these events actually happened 2. Doctrinal — these events generally have future implication 3. Devotional or Inspirational — these events have a present application to my spiritual life & walk with God. No matter what scripture you study, if you keep these three applications in mind, the Word of God will always direct you to the truth.
