The Old Testament prophesies were not understood until Pentecost

But actually, they should have been!

Failing to discern the time of their visitation, (the coming of Christ) is what led to all of the nation of Israel's trouble. It proves that the correct interpretation of the scriptures is not a hit and miss affair, and not a thing to be dabbled in,( like the occult) saying, oh maybe this is right, or maybe it's not! It is of vital importance to get it correct. Not only were the shepherds of Israel punished but so were the sheep, and it continues to this day.

Thank you so much for your reply and for sharing your views and concerns!

Certainly there is only one true interpretation of prophesy (and parables) - which is known to the Author and revealed according to His will in the appropriate time and place:

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost. - 2 Peter 1:20-21

We are very blessed on this forum to have many who are are indwelled by the Spirit, share in the mind of Christ, and thus can be helpful in prayer for understanding, in discernment and in fleshing out insight which may be helpful to others.

If anyone on this forum believes he has insight to a particular passage, I could not think of a better place to come and present that insight and ask for advise than here, among known members of the body of Christ.
