The study of the Holy Scriptures have been divided into something mathematical and though it accommodates marking our pace of study and, that being a good thing for some, it is the, single worst thing that has ever happened to the Word of God. This division of the Jewish Bible occurred in the Fifteenth Century and the division of the New Testament happened in the Sixteenth.
Until that time it was much easier to understand that these “books” were not books at all but, instead were letters instructing us on successful living. Even the History Lessons are there to teach not to commit the sins of our forefathers (how to live successfully).
The one rule I always try to remember about hermeneutics is, “No scripture, no passage of scriptures and, no collections of scriptures can be completely understood without the light of all scripture shinning on those words.”
