2 Peter 1:16-21 - The Reliable Prophetic Word Of Testimony
16 For we were not following cleverly devised stories when we told you of the Coming in power of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eye-witnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received honour and glory from God the Father, when from the Glory of the Divine Majesty there were borne to his ears words such as these-- 'This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I delight.'
18 These were the words that we heard, borne to our ears from Heaven, when we were with him on that Sacred Mountain. 19 And still stronger is the assurance that we have in the teaching of the Prophets; to which you will do well to pay attention (as if it were a lamp shining in a gloomy place), until the Day dawns and the Morning Star rises in your hearts. 20 But first be assured of this:--There is no prophetic teaching found in Scripture that can be interpreted by man's unaided reason; 21 for no prophetic teaching ever came in the old days at the mere wish of man, but men, moved by the Holy Spirit, spoke direct from God.
