Summary: God is revealing truth in his Word and we should seek the literal meaning of the text, which we find using the grammatical-historical method. There is only one correct meaning for each verse, but there can be many applications. We must take into account the literary genre (e.g., poetry, historical narrative), all figures of speech and so on. Prophecy is less familiar to most of us than other genres.<br> <br> http://www.whatdoesthewordsay.org/uncategorized/40-understanding-the-bible-part-ii/
