SCRIPTURE IS A WORK OF INTERPRETATION
God Interprets the Meaning
"Then He said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into His glory? And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself."

Bring Rev. From God to Man
Luke 24:25-27 - Christ interprets the Scriptures
People parading in the pulpit attempt to bring their own interpretations to others through saying the scriptures need high and lofty intellect to comprehend the things that Christ has stated plainly. There are difficult passages and it takes Christ to bring the intended meaning to a culture vastly different from the Jews who were given the scriptures. The Spirit 's job is to guide those Whom He is perfecting for a wedding service into all truth. See verses below.
Acts 8:30-35 -
Philip Unfolds the Meaning
"And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus."
Only God can Interpret His own Revelations and by that I mean what the Scripture has Revealed Concerning the Help that has been Furnished.
