Rule - Christocentric [∞]

Since the riddle of Samson tells us Christ is the answer to all the prophetic riddles; if the shadow (prophetic riddle) doesn’t look like Christ, it isn’t a good shadow. This keeps us focused. Jesus told the disciples on the road to Emmaus that all the scriptures spoke of him , and chastised the scribes and Pharisees for searching the scriptures to seek life, but rejecting him, since they spoke of him. If we don’t see Christ in the scriptures, we have missed the primary purpose of the scriptures. And if Christ is not central to a proposed interpretation, it is to be rejected. This rule alone separates the mystery from Gnosticism, Kabbalah and Midrash . Consequence of lack of Christocentric meaning: You miss the point of the scriptures in revealing God through Christ.
