2 Peter / Question
Question source
2 Peter
Peter says believers have “the prophetic word more fully confirmed,” described as a lamp shining in a dark place. He emphasizes that prophecy did not come by “the will of man,” but people spoke from God “as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” This grounds reliability in God’s initiative, not human invention. See 2 Peter 1:19–21.
19We have the more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the day star arises in your hearts:
20knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.
21For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
