-====== 10 Easy ways to find context in scripture ======
-//The following information has been transcribed from the video [[https://youtu.be/cn95amt8OaY | "10 Easy Ways to Find Context in Scripture" ]] by the Kingdom in Context YouTube channel//
-===== Introduction =====
-This short video will show you the practices I use to find context when reading scripture. And this has helped me to bring a ton of clarity to what I'm reading and I hope that it helps you.
-===== Find the definittion of the word =====
-The first step that I use is finding the definition of a word. You've seen me do this in many of our videos and I'll sometimes even put the definition of that word from a dictionary or concordance on the screen. This helps you understand the term being used so you don't take it out of context.
-===== Read all the way through =====
-The next step that I use is reading all the way through a passage in some cases if you just read one verse or two verses you may come to wrong conclusions only to realize if you have read the entire passage or even the entire chapter you may quickly realize the awnser you're forming from that single verse.
-===== Determine figures of speach =====
-The next concept I use is determining if the passage has figures of speach, an author will use a figure of speach such as a metaphor or a simile((https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simile)) an allegory ((https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/allegory)) or an idiom((https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/idiom)) to help the reader make the text or the idea being expressed more relatable.
-===== Compare use in other chapters =====
-The next step I use is comparing the use of a word or term in other chapters in the book it's used. For example in Isaiah 9:6 people think the word father is speaking of the almighty God. But we see it's use in other chapters in Isaiah to help us understand the term father is being used as a ruler of the people. Specifically a king.

-Isiah 9:6:7
-"For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
-and the government will rest on His shoulders;
-and His name will be called wonderful counselor, mighty god, eternal father, prince of peace.
-There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
-on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
-to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness from then on and forevermore.
-The zeals of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this."
-(NASB - Masoretic)

-Isaiah 22: 20-22
-"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Chelcias:
-and I will put on him thy robe, and I will grant him thy crown it power,
-and I will give thy stewardship into his hands:
-and he shall be as a father to them that dwell in Jarusalem, and to them that dwell in Juda.
-And I will give him the glory of David;
-and he shall rule, and there shall be none to speak against him:
-and I will give him the key of the house of David //upon// his shoulder;
-and he shall open, and there shall be none to shut;
-and he shall shut, and there shall be none open."
-(Septuagint - LXX)

-===== Compare use in other books =====
-Another concept I use is comparing the use of the word or term in other books. Let's look at Isaiah 9:6 again where many people take the term father to mean the Most High God the Almighty. Yet we see that same term used

-Genesis 45: 7-9
-“God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth,
-and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.
-“Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God;
-and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
-“Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him,
-‘Thus says your son Joseph, “God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay.
-(NASB 1995)
