Isa 43:10 Ye [are] my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe [trust] me, and understand that I [am] he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Understand

The word used here for 'understand' is tabuwn תבון. biyn בון means 'understand'. The tov ת added as a prefix, is the last letter of the natural alphabet, and gives tabuwn the sense of the ultimate understanding. We might call it the authoritative understanding. God wants us to understand him the way that Jesus and the apostles did. When you speak on the doctrine of the Bible, having learned to read it like Jesus and the apostles, you will speak with authority, unlike the theologians who endlessly quote each other.

In order to understand, you must correlate scripture with scripture. This is the only way that scripture can interpret itself. You are not alone in that endeavor. The Spirit is given to you to remind you of the things you have been taught and learned. [1]

The Spirit did not give Jesus and the apostles knowledge. He reminded them of the knowledge they had, in order to correlate scripture. You can know when it is the Spirit who does this for you by the whispered revelation.

Whispered revelation

Mt 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. Mt 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Peter had received a revelation from God, and didn't know it until Jesus told him. Peter knew the scriptures, and had seen what Jesus was doing. On his own he did not know how to connect the dots. The theologians of the day couldn't connect the dots. But the Spirit of God stuck his finger in Peter's ear and stirred up the memories so they correlated with each other. When the dots were connected, Peter had a revelatory knowledge of who Jesus was.

When you start to study the Bible the way Jesus and the apostles did, you will see hints of things and know there is more. You will ask God for his wisdom [2], and he will help you correlate it. You will know that it is him because it will always declare that Jesus is the Christ, the son of the living God [3]. No man will have shown you, but you will understand the mystery hidden from the beginning.

You will understand, because the Spirit will tie scripture together for you. You must put scripture in your head by studying. The Spirit will make it make sense.
