For we did not
follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received
honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance
as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, “This is My beloved
Son with whom I am well-pleased”— and we ourselves heard this utterance
made from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do
well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day
dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first
of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a
matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was
ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke
from God.
