My Greek professor taught us to do that. Read a book over and over until you get it. He told us over and over, countless times, “Class to understand any book of the Bible you need to read it in one sitting, at least 7 times.” Whenever he told us that he would always have a wry smile on his face. Like he was holding a secret. He was! He was hinting at the fact that the number seven is the biblical symbol of perfection. In other words read it until you have perfected it. Until you get it. When I was writing the Bible Gems on Ephesians, Prof Basil Brown was reading them as I wrote them and sent them out. Then he would write back to me and we would talk about it.
