- This is the first episode of my new series called "Understanding the Bible!" I'll cover 3 terms that are foundational in how we interpret Scripture. Hermeneutics, exegesis, and eisegesis. The material I cover in this video has drastically changed how I approach reading my Bible and so I hope you learn something new as well!

What are some verses or passages you've seen misinterpreted? How does applying a historical contextual hermeneutic change those interpretations?
Genesis 6 and 4
So what if anything do we take from Jeremiah 29:11 ?
In the book of Esther when she asked her people to fast for three days while she prepared herself to go before the king to plead for the lives of herself and her people because of their previous traditions it was to be believed that she prayed although prayer wasn't actually mentioned.we know that God name wasn't mentioned.but believe that he was in the plan from the start to finish
its gud to use exegesis to
a certain extent bt this will limit the move of the holyspirit becoz one would rely much on logic than the holyspirit

FIVE YEARS AGO!?! Let me tell you something young man: this is good teaching! I love how you broke this down. Now I have to go through all of your videos and see what you are doing now. Thank you so much! God bless you!
All scripture is used for present life application. So the verse in Jer. 29:11 does still apply to the college grad, but not in the topical prosperity only idea. We use the OT as a reference of who God is and to reveal His character to us. His promises last forever to all of His children.
Exactly
As a pastor, I completely agree with the message in the video. There is only one problem. The fact that people are not interested in the original message of the Bible, but that everyone wants to receive some personal, cheerful message. If I strictly adhere to the message of the Bible, no one will come to church. And I'm not alone with that. That is why there are many false teachers and false congregations. Demand determines supply. This is dangerous not only for pastors, but for all believers. I hope I can find a solution to this.
I think the solution might lie in two things, first, the correct understanding of the passage should not be the end point, but rather lead to a more accurate application for the congregation. This is where I slip up, I have to consciously remind myself about this point. Second, I think that, if enough passages are made clear for people in this way, the story of God’s workings with his people starts to emerge, and that’s an exciting story to start to understand for people! Just some thoughts.
@@akmroberts Thanks for the thoughts brother.
the Holy Spirit :)
Pastor, thanks for your honesty. Jesus always said “he who has ears to hear let him hear” the problem was not Jesus’ words it was the listeners ears. May you continue to preach the truth and stay true to the scriptures knowing whoever has ears will hear the truth and follow King Jesus
Man you unpacked the whole study of Hermeneutics , Exegesis and Eisegesis in a minute .
Wow so clear that's phenomenal 😮
Yup
Amen to that bro. 😎
i do agree that understanding the context of Scripture is important and it's good to gather as much understanding of what the texts meant to the people at the time as we can, but Scripture is more than that. there are certainly parts of Scripture that only apply to certain people at certain times, however, more often than not, Scripture is meant for future generations as well. this is even more true for prophecies. prophecy is often meant to only be understood during or after the occurrence of the events prophesied. it's apparent to me that even the prophets often do not understand the prophecies they've been given to proclaim. another point i'd like to make is that Scripture is layered with meaning. a verse or passage could have several lessons and meanings, especially when accompanied by the lessons or meanings of other related Scripture.
as for eisegesis interpretations. the eagle, for example, could mean the united states. it could also mean nazi germany in the same respect (the nazi party also used the eagle in their insignias). my point is that with such symbolism, we won't know until the events are happening or, more likely, have happened. so, we shouldn't hold onto such ideas as though they are true. we just can't know. actually, i think we aren't meant to know until the prescribed time. but it's always intriguing to think about, and it's worth taking the time to do so every now and then.
This is amazing! Working on my M.Div and teaching youth at church about how to read, understand and interpret scripture. This is a great resource for young believers!
I Appreciated this video. You truly made it plain and simple in your demonstration. Thank you
Thanks man. Im beginning my venture into all of this.
Fun and informative video. Great job.
Awesome bro! I’m locked in!
I need more on exegesis!!!!! Thanks for the Hermeneutics. I got it!
Thanks very much for this wonderful video. May God bless you 🙏
Wow man. Phenomenal video. Not only LEGIT artwork, but absolutely spot on material that many really do not understand. You just got a subscriber!!!
Thank you!! I finally understand the difference in the 3.
Thanks for educating us. God bless
Excellent, Excellent Brother well done!
Hey nice break down of the terms. I’d like to open your eyes to your argument about it not being motivating. If a people are in exile your argument would conclude that this is a letter of inspiration. It’s a hope for the future. A distinct thing God does throughout the Bible. Yes He sends prophetic warnings. But this is a message of encouragement. Even when doing hermeneutics. You still must ask the question of how does this apply to me right now. God has made His word applicable. One of the morals would be that one should be hopeful if they too are experiencing a situation of exile. This message is an encouragement for us not to leave the faith. God still knows what He is doing. He still has a plan. Why would a graduate need to know this? Because many are entering a world which is brand new. That verse hits a nail regarding Gods Nature. It’s in Gods nature to give His people hope & obedience leads to the future that God predestined.
Woah! I love you man! 🥺🥺🥺
Thank you , praise God
Blessed by your video! God bless..
Awesome breakdown
Great job explaining this... Hope you will someday consider doing one on Esoteric compared with literal, and allegory.
Good job in explaining the difference
great video my dude!
I loved this!!!!
Found your channel today and thoroughly enjoyed your videos. Quite accessible and very straightforward. Be blessed and keep it up. Subscribed
This was perfect!!!!!!!
Yippysss. Praise, goddddd, the lord Jesus

yes nd we read the bible by revelation not logic,this is why we need the holyspirit...dont neglect the ministration of the holyspirit
john16 says the holyspirit will guide us into all truth not to the 'original bible'
Really good info. Thank you.
I enjoyed the way you explained this! The thing about us thinking that anything mentioning an eagle might be talking about the USA! 😀 Anyway- i al also passionate about this topic, too!
My Dear Brother in Christ. This is my first time watching your video however I really loved your video and it did cover the different methods of interpreting God's word very well. The Jeremiah illustration was really nice. God bless you in accordance with His will and hope to see you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Wow, thanks for this. This is exactly how the Bible should be 1st understood ( Hermeneutics ) and before giving our own ideas from experiences.
So helpful! Thank you
EXCELLENT JOB EXPLAINING THESE TERMS. Another video about these terms had me super confused. Thank you so much!!!
I love this. Thank you
Loved this! Your video is being put to great use. Keep it up.
Thank you - so helpful.
I'm glad you mentioned the Jeremiah verse, that has always bugged me when I see it used that way.
Why would that bug you? The word of God is not just a history book. It's alive, still active, and sharper than a two-edged sword. Why would I conform to only knowing it was for Judah, and not have faith it can also be applied to me today. That's the beauty of Hermanaeutics. I understand the historical context in order to know how can that apply to me today!
@@Paysanaswylin no, that's not hermeneutics, it's eisigesis.
@@thomaserickson568 Ok.
@@Paysanaswylin this is the question I’m left with. I get what it’s original intent is but what does it mean to me today? If all scripture is breathed by God and profitable for man, what is this scriptures relevance to me today.
@symplee_chris exactly! I think people are being....people. lol his word is profitable and can't be put in a box to appease the "know it alls" I think this is why people have problems with Christians now because they're bickering over these things and telling everyone they're wrong. I understand that there should be correction because that is biblical, however in our efforts to do so I don't think we should take away someone's hope and encouragement they find and how they apply it to their life.
Great video!
Thank you for this video.
Fantastic video brother. Well done! I really appreciated the example at the end.
Am speechless. Wow
Well done WM ! The Bible is also 25% Prophecy and so some texts may have past, present and future meaning.I did note you said at the end that God is revealed throughout the Bible.Do you discuss prophecy in other videos ? Thank you.
This is beauty.
Hope and a future 🙏
Thank you so much God bless you!
Thank you this was very helpful
Love it...
It´s so cool!
Thank you brother
I'm about to do a small series on my super tiny fledgling podcast on these exact words because I feel that they are important. If it's okay I would like to link to this video it was great! I am not a seminary student I'm a 55 year old man and just a lay person but my goal is to get people stirred up and passionate about studying God's word.
Thank you so much, super informative and will change the way I read the Word more carefully and thoughtfully!!
I believe that the Bible is timeless, and that it is still applicable for us today. If I cannot claim Jeremiah 29:11 in our times, then what promises, or commands or warnings, etc from the Bible is still applicable for us in the present; considering the historical, contextual, cultural settings, and varied recepients it was written to? How would you differentiate eisegesis from application-- that what was declared by God as true and valid to the former recepients is also true, valid, and applicable to us in the "now"?
His reasoning is flawed on this point.
Nice video !!!
I'm applying to a MA in Theology not coming from a theological background other than a massive love for it and self-searching and reading. Your videos are helping me a lot. Thanks!
Love your breakdown, perfectly explained
Great video thanks!
This was pretty neat and explained things really well. The examples you gave were really good.
Cask Theology looks wholesomes

thank you this is a lot useful
I think it's worth bringing up this point, which I'm sure many mature conservative would agree with is, If God wrote the bible, he would want it interpreted in a way
for advice and guidance for hundreds of years, spanning different languages and cultures, (ie it's not meant to only be interpreted for the timeframe of the immediate audience
of that era, be it the future nation of Israel, (coming out of Egyptian slavery) or even say for the first two centuries of Christians) (It's supernaturally written in a way for those time frames, as well as 2,000 to 4000 years afterwards ( depending on if you believe written words as a language was capable in the Days of Noah)
This was so cool! It really breaks down the different ways to study the Bible. So easy a child could understand after watching this
Well, that explains why hermeneutics is often found to be limiting. For example, the example given for Jeremiah 29 does not permit anything beyond verse 10 as the possible interpretation, but verse 11 clearly lists the plural form "plans," but verse 10 only lists one plan. So, while the exegetical example may make the eisegesis example appear to be the unlikely intended interpretation of the verse, the exegetical example is not without its flaws.
You're not going to get a greatly detailed and in depth exegetical explanation of Jeremiah 29 in an informative video that isn't centered around that piece of scripture specifically, it was just a brief example. If you want to understand it better, use hermeneutics and study it.
Great video
Good break down
SOLIDDDD
I wish he was able to give some examples of Exegesis.
Thank you for your video. What are some good sources for historical contextual hermeneutics?
I can already hear my Kenneth Copeland-centric family watching this video and REEing at virtually everything you've explained. Sad that prosperity gospel is so successful at making money rather than educating others
Wow😍
Hiii @whiteboard Ministry! Are you still uploading videos about how to interpret or understand bible ? I want to study theology or how to interpret bible verses correctly hehe
Thank You!
great job
Thank you 👍
This video was very helpful. I took notes lol thank you for your ministry. I do have a question though. While I understand that people use the verse from Jeremiah in a way it wasn't originally intended, is that wrong? I thought the beauty of the word is God never changing. Who is to say he doesn't have plans to prosper recent graduates. I think the fact we are finding hope and encouragement in the Bible is valuable. Still, I understand that knowing the actual context is important because you really can see what the people of the Bible endured and God's glory.
Well understood
MAYBE YOU COULD DO ONE VIDEO AS WELL ON WHO INVENTED THIS HERMENEUTICS IN THE FIRST PLACE.THANKS
Excellent. Well done. To the point and most helpful. Thank you.
This is....surprisingly fantastic. It's hard to find content like this that has both great content and modern creativity. I'm looking forward to seeing other videos. Great job my guy!
So, how would someone take that information and apply it to what they may be going through in the current day?
Thank you so much
This is so helpful though trying to understand religious things can either make you more or less religious
I'm currently doing research for a future video about methodology and I found this quite helpful, cheers!
Can you do a video on the canonicity of the bible?
in your example of 29:11, doesn't it mean that all the passages in the bible are not useful for us since it was written specific for people at tha ttime? if not, then can you explain how the jeremiah 29:11 should means to us?
I would add
1. How does this point to Jesus
2. How does it correct any wrong view in my life
3. How should I act/respond based on the scripture
I'm not sure what you mean by your first question because the whole Bible points to Jesus, but developing a better exegetical understanding of scripture via the use of hermeneutics has helped correct quite a few incorrect views I had due to reading/interpreting scripture via the eisegesis understanding. And to be fair, if it's the word of God, I would respond by correcting my incorrect views; God knows best.
I was trying to explain this to someone. The objection they had was application: When using Eisegesis the application is simple. In this case the application is that we can trust God to bless us.
But if we use Exegesis then the application can become more difficult. (albeit, more correct!)
In this case I'm not sure what the application is.
I do have my own thoughts, but I'd love to hear what suggestions others have for this? Specifically and generally.
Thanks.
Hod bless you brother

john16 says the holyspirit will guide us into all truth not to the 'original bible'
Yes! As soon as you said "one of the most misinterpreted Bible verses", the first one I thought of was Jeremiah 29:11. However, I think you did miss something, and that's verses 5-8. In the whole letter, God is telling them His whole plan, which does include rescuing them in 70 years, but it also includes them building and having a life in this place that they probably didn't want to go: building houses, planting gardens, taking wives, and seeking the welfare of the city so they will have welfare. The plans to prosper them and not harm them are not just for 70 years later, but for their present circumstance, which doesn't look good to them. It was reassurance: "It's ok, go into exile, it will be alright." As added evidence that this prosperity and welfare included during the exile, those who didn't go into exile were not alright. v. 16, 17-20
Thank Bro ,it helps me a lot in my study about the bible 🙏
Superb!!!! God bless you bro!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Good ideas
So I have read somewhere that scripture has just one interpretation but many applications. If this is correct, can the application of students with a hope for a better work/life be equally correct? If application is aligned with interpretation, can we now then say it is appropriate?
Hello...love the video....what is your view on 1 Corinthians 12:7-10?????ceased or continuing today???
Do you already have the next video after this?
How do you do graphics s like that? I'm assuming you aren't actually drawing...Excellent work here.
It's great video. But I'm about confused now. So we cannot and should not apply our life situations to biblical passages to draw meaning from it. So, how then does God use the Bible to speak to us?
Thank you so much this has been very helpful!! I'm in a "Reading The Bible in the Christian Tradition" course and I was completely lost when reading the textbooks because I still couldn't understand these terms. The way you covered them was easy for me to understand, thanks again for this video! :)
Something I've not shared in writing, publicly, is my idea that we (carnals) have this awful tendency to look at scriptural interpretations thru a MICROSCOPE when (I would argue) we'd more often then not, learn much more if we'd consider them by looking thru a KALIEDOSCOPE. Meaning: I think we limit or understanding of who He really is, by our prejudices, & our oftentimes agenda driven conclusions. Amen
This was so helpful once I have to write a Exegesis paper but have no much understanding the meanings even dough after goggles. Your way of explaining is sure much more clear. Thank you
