"Interpretations belong to God"in another sense. Guided by holy spirit, Joseph, a faithful servant of Jehovah God, was able to understand the meaning of the perplexing dreams his fellow prisoners related to him. (Genesis 41:38) When present-day servants of God are unsure of the meaning of a certain prophecy, they pray for God's spirit and then diligently study and search the spirit-inspired Word of God. With God's guidance they can locate scriptures that open up the meaning of some prophecies. The interpretation does not come miraculously through any humans. It comes from God because it is by means of his spirit and his Word that meaning comes clear. The interpretation is not introduced from outside the Bible by human forecasters. - ACTS 15:12-21.
"Interpretations belong to God" also in that he determines and directs when a prophecy can be discerned before, during, or aftyer its fulfillment. Since God tied up the prophecies, he will unravel them at the right time-his time.
