I recall a Bible teacher who said to a group of us that had wildly different views of a difficult passage saying, “I guess we aren’t there yet (in our understanding).” That statement has helped me more than once as God knows when I don’t “ get it” or He hasn’t revealed this aspect this side of heaven. I only need to keep trusting He will reveal what I need for today and not get complacent. Good article.
Thanks Jack,I know that great patience is required to try to understand many passages throughout the bible. I also know that this will continue throughout my reading life. Perhaps one day, we will have many things revealed, until then....

Comprehensive and interesting.
1 Corinthians 13:12
King James Version
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
