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 a 78declaration as this was made to Him by the 9Majestic Glory: “This is 10My beloved Son with whom I am well pleased”-- 18and we ourselves heard this 11declaration made from heaven when we were with Him on the 12holy mountain.
19And so we have 13the prophetic word made more 14sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to 15a lamp shining in a dark place, until the 16day dawns and the 17morning star arises 18in your hearts. 20But 19know this first of all, that 20no prophecy of Scripture 21becomes a matter of 22someone’s own interpretation, 21for 23no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men 24moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
