The Bible begins: "In the beginning God .. " God is first, and all things come afterward. The Bible does not state "In the beginning man .. " Whenever we place ourselves first, place our trust in our own understanding first, or place our own desires first, etc., we have placed ourselves in opposition to the divine order of things. We are not first. We should not wonder therefore, that the meaning of prophecies has been revealed in a way that is diametrically opposed to that which we would like it to be: namely that we can understand it ourselves without divine assistance
(89:6)
