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;

Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain 2 Peter 1:17:

II Peter 1:16-21

The Bible is not just a collection of fables or human ideas about God. It is God's Word given through people to people. Peter emphasizes his authority as an eyewitness along with the God-inspired authority of Scripture to prepare for his critique of the false teachers. If these evil men contradict the apostles of the Bible, their messages cannot originate from God is the point Peter is making.

Christ is the Morning Star, and when He returns, He will shine in His full glory. Until that day we have Scripture as a lamp and the Holy Spirit to illuminate Scripture for us and guide us as we seek the truth.

The Scripture does not originate from the prophet's own creativity. God inspired them, making their message authentic and trustworthy. God used each writer's talents and education and cultural background, but he worked with them in a way that ensured the message He intended was accurately communicated in their words.
