Hi Don

Actually,

Here is a more organic system of bible interpretation:

1. Narrative and Historical Progression: The Bible unfolds as a story, with each section building upon the previous one. Understanding the chronological and geographical context is essential.

2. Genre and Literary Style: Recognize the different genres, such as history, poetry, prophecy, letters, and apocalyptic literature, each with its unique characteristics and interpretation guidelines.

3. Context: Consider the immediate context, including the passage's purpose, audience, and authorial intent.

4. Types and Shadows: Identify patterns and foreshadowing in the Old Testament that find fulfillment in the New Testament.

5. Progressive Revelation: Recognize how God's revelation unfolds progressively, with later sections building upon earlier ones.

6. Themes: Identify recurring themes and motifs throughout the Bible, demonstrating its cohesive message.

7. Note how later biblical authors interpret and apply earlier texts, providing insight into the intended meaning.

Basically, let the bible interpret the bible.
