Prophecy of Scripture
12So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have.13I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body,14because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.15And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.

16We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.17For he received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”Matt. 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:3518We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

19And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation.21For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Verse 19 is truly a wonderful verse of hope. I don't believe I ever really took note of it in the past. From it, I understand that the Word of God is prophecy to us, speaking of the coming King; and that this Word of prophecy is more certain than that of the prophecies spoken by man, as recorded in the Old Testament. This is not to discredit the accuracy or believability of the prophets. Verse 21 points out that true prophecy in itself was not the result of man's imagination, but by the direct influence of the Holy Spirit. The point is, then, that as much as we could trust the words spoken by the prophets, how much the more we can believe in the Word of God regarding future events.
