2 Peter 1:17-20

2 Peter 1:17-20 AMP

For when He was invested with honor and [the radiance of the Shekinah] glory from God the Father, such a voice as this came to Him from the [splendid] Majestic Glory [in the bright cloud that overshadowed Him, saying], “This is My Son, My Beloved Son in whom I am well-pleased and delighted”— [Matt 17:5] and we [actually] heard this voice made from heaven when we were together with Him on the holy mountain. [Matt 17:6] So we have the prophetic word made more certain. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises in your hearts. [Num 24:17] But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from one’s own [personal or special] interpretation
