2 Peter 1:16 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Peter 1:16

14 ^aknowing that shortly I must¹ put off my tent, just as ^bour Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

15 Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my¹ decease.

The Trustworthy Prophetic Word

16 For we did not follow ^acunningly devised fables when we made known to you the ^bpower and ^ccoming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were ^deyewitnesses of His majesty.

17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: ^a“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on ^athe holy mountain.

19 ¹And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a ^alight that shines in a dark place, ^buntil ^cthe day dawns and the morning star rises in your ^dhearts;

20 knowing this first, that ^ano prophecy of Scripture is of any private¹ interpretation,

21 for ^aprophecy never came by the will of man, ^bbut holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
