7 Keys to Understanding the Mysteries of the Bible Learn to Interpret the Bible Correctly

(From back cover) The Bible is a Book loved by believers everywhere. Christians who spend much time in it are often amazed, refreshed, challenged, and blessed by its contents. Others are confused by its pages - but only because they do not have the seven keys - or only some of them. Yes, some parts of the Bible are hard to understand and often misinterpreted. A lack of proper understanding of Bible truth has led to the formation of many cults and their serious errors and "damnable heresies." Yet, confusion is not what God wants for His people. In a way, the Bible is like a jigsaw puzzle - something not to be solved quickly. No one can ever understand everything the Bible teaches - it is fathomless because God's mind is unlimited! Understanding some pieces of the puzzle can help you see where other pieces fit - but often not until you see the larger picture. Scripture indeed interprets Scripture. God has put into His Book seven keys necessary to understand the Bible as a whole - and the more difficult parts - the mysteries of the Bible. These keys are often attitudes that need to be in place before God will open up His Book to your understanding - enabling you to interpret the Bible correctly. Once you know the keys and apply them, you will agree with David that God's words are: "More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb" (Psalm 19:10). Another important aspect of understanding God's Holy Scriptures is that you must apply Biblical principles before discovering the correct interpretation. These principles are often called Biblical hermeneutics - which refers to the right way of interpreting the Scriptures. In this book, Evangelist Michael Valles covers these basic principles in chapter three to give Bible students a better understanding of how to interpret the Word of God.
