The Law of First Mention (also called Law of First Use) is one of the three rules of proper interpretation of the Bible. “The Law of First Mention may be said to be the principle that requires one to go to that portion of the Scriptures where a doctrine is mentioned for the first time and to study the first occurrence of the same in order to get the fundamental inherent meaning of that doctrine.” – Dr. David L. Cooper, founder and president of “The Biblical Research Society”.
