Yes. We cannot isolate a verse or a passage from its immediate context or the context of the entire Bible and expect to come to truth. We must compare scripture with scripture. The Bible is its own interpreter. It is its own dictionary.
We do not interpret scripture by what we see outside of the Bible. But we can sometimes understand what is happening in the church and in the world as we come to truth from the Bible itself.
We see sin multiplying in the world. And we see how the Bible has lost its ultimate authority in the churches and denominations as nearly every church teaches some element of a works / grace gospel and has more and more brought the world into the church. All predicted in the Bible and under God's control as we approach the end.
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is any private interpretation.
This is not saying it's man's own interpretation.
It's saying that single scripture; in and of itself, does not contain all the truth of prophecy, it has to be combined with other scriptures.
2 Corinthians 13:1 ...In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
God Bless YOU!
