Exegesis vs. Eisegesis
Exegesis draws meaning from context; eisegesis forces personal meaning onto the text.
Exegesis involves understanding Scripture based on its original language, context, audience, and historical setting. Eisegesis, by contrast, happens when a reader imposes personal views or modern ideas onto the text.
Yeshuans emphasizes exegesis because fulfilled eschatology depends on accurate context. When Jesus said, “this generation will not pass” (Matthew 24:34), exegesis helps us see He meant His own generation—not ours. Without context, eisegesis leads to confusion, fear-based theology, and misapplied prophecy.
By grounding interpretation in historical and narrative consistency, Yeshuans helps uncover the Bible’s fulfilled message—and avoid distorting it with modern religious expectations.
