The nuts and bolts of the bible are love, holiness and righteousness. For that reason, all the derived bible interpretations should match these three essentials. When people interpret the Bible with an intention of personal benefits or conveniences, the true meaning of the verses is naturally disappeared. In truth, any new revelations should be aligned with the interest of heavenly rules and principles. Apostle Paul along with Timothy and Silas testifies this wisdom during their ministry in Thessalonica – as it’s written in 1 Thessalonians 2:13, NIV-Bible; “When you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.”

When it comes to the bible prophecy, it is not the prophet’s own imagination, but the message from the Lord given through the Holy Spirit. It is written in 2 Peter 1:20-21, NIV-Bible; “You must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit”. Yet, we must accept that God sends prophets, time to time for revealing His great works on earth. The word of God says in Amos 3:7; “Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets”. And certainly, those prophets whom God chose in the past, indicates that He could choose anyone in these days from the least of the least.

Therefore, take good heed on the bible and do not take courage to manipulate it verses for our personal benefits or conveniences. Besides, remember that the Prophets are from the Lord, since no one can fake that holiness, righteousness and love of the Lord for a long period of time. And furthermore, true shepherds are not ordained by men but God. Amen
