2 Peter 1:14-21
14knowing that 1the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, 2as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15And I will also be diligent that at any time after my 3departure you will be able to call these things to mind.
16For we did not follow cleverly devised 4tales when we made known to you the 5power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were 6eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an 78utterance as this was 9made to Him by the 10Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased”-- 18and we ourselves heard this 11utterance made from heaven when we were with Him on the 12holy mountain.
1913So we have 14the prophetic word made more 15sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to 16a lamp shining in a dark place, until the 17day dawns and the 18morning star arises 19in your hearts. 20But 20know this first of all, that 21no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, 21for 22no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men 23moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
