Many do not understand the Holy Bible because they read it with a physical (carnal) mindset instead of a spiritual mindset. The Holy Bible instructs you to be spiritually minded.
John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
For example, think of "water" spiritually as "truth " when reading the Holy Bible instead of physical water.
1 John 5:6
This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
The water means truth and the blood spiritually means the spiritual life giving message of truth from Jesus Christ.
John 4:14
But whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
So when you read the Holy Bible about Noah's flood think of a flood of truth raining down on the land instead of physical water flooding the Earth.
Also, don't think of Jonah being swallowed by a physical fish but think of Jonah being in the society of Nineveh that worshipped the fish god Dagon and Jonah was trying to save them.
So interpret spiritually and not physically and the Holy Bible will come alive for you.
