Exegesis draws meaning from context; eisegesis forces personal meaning onto the text.
What is
Exegesis vs. Eisegesis
Exegesis is drawing meaning out of the text; eisegesis is reading meaning into it. TGNN teaches that faithful interpretation must consider context, audience, and fulfillment—not personal or modern assumptions.
ExplanationExegesis 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.TGNN 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, TGNN helps uncover the Bible’s fulfilled message—and avoid distorting it with modern religious expectations.
