Probably not in as many cases as we would like to hope, since I see people right here, swearing they have received direct understanding from something they are calling "The Holy Spirit"... yet of perhaps ten or twelve people, 10 or 12 totally differing "opinions" will be given concerning the very same verse.
Before getting into all the head-stuff of having knowledge just imparted to us, it might do to apply a little bit of plain old studying. All through the Bible the meaning of "coming on the clouds" or "the stars and moon going dark" has been written about as pertaining to other places, times, and happenings.... that will tell us just what was meant in the particular Scripture we might be reading at the moment. And those verses were given to us so that we actually COULD know the meanings of the verses presently in front of us.
