The best way to extract the plan and counsel of God from the Bible is to first of all understand the theme of the Bible. The theme of the Bible is not about Israel and a list of moral codes. It is about Jesus. Everything is designed to point us to Jesus. Any other drive and interpretation without that in mind would lead to error and a misconception of God. In Luke 24 Jesus appeared to 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus and taught a lesson for all of us to review. 27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them the things written about himself in all the scriptures. He appeared to his disciples in the evening to continue from where he stopped. 44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” We are to inteprete life through the lens of Jesus and his finished work and not Israel and the bad news around us. The Bible closes with the Revelation of Jesus Christ. John a particular encounter that is worth seeing again and again. So I threw myself down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “Do not do this! I am only a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony about Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” - Revelation 19:10 The way to judge the situation in our world, Israel, the church, natural disaters and your own issues is through the revelation of Jesus Christ. That is how to always arrive in TRUTH.
