2 Peter 1:16-21 - The Reliable Prophetic Word Of Testimony

16 For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends, but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty. 17 He received honour and glory from God the Father, and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him, "This is My dearly-loved Son, in whom I take delight."

18 And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain. 19 And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent; to which you do well to pay attention--as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place--until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 But, above all, remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet's own prompting; 21 for never did any prophecy come by human will, but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit.
