How to find Biblical Truth

"The Bible is its own interpreter, and is the complete word of God. The bible says:

Do not interpretations belong to God?  -
Genesis 40:8


Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. -2 Peter 1:20

To the law and to the testimony: If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. -Isaiah 8:20

Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read. -Isaiah 34:16

Q: How do we interpret prophecy, doctrine – or just scripture as a whole?

A: By the Bible.
The Bible is its own interpreter, no other book, nor any person need interpret it for us. The prophet Isaiah spoke these wise words:

Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.

For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. -
Isaiah 28:9-10

It was King David's custom to look towards the sanctuary of God and study it deeply.
Out of his studies he could conclude the truths of God.
It's no wonder that the truths of God are found within the sanctuary service. In fact, it is the sanctuary that lays out the whole plan of salvation. David certainty knew this, he said,

Thy way, O God, is in the Sanctuary. -Psalm 77:13


The earthly sanctuary was a "pattern" of the true heavenly sanctuary in heaven (Study this in Hebrews 9 – 10), where Christ the true high priest ministers there on our behalf."
