Emma, Brenna, and Selah are up this week.
12 Therefore
I will always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are
established in the truth you have. 13 I consider it right, as long as I am in this bodily
tent,[a] to wake you up with a
reminder, 14 knowing
that I will soon lay aside my tent, as our Lord Jesus Christ has also shown me. 15 And I will also make
every effort that you may be able to recall these things at any time after my
departure.[b]The Trustworthy Prophetic Word16 For
we did not follow cleverly contrived myths when we made known to you the power
and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; instead, we were eyewitnesses of His
majesty. 17 For
when He received honor and glory from God the Father, a voice came to Him from
the Majestic Glory:This is My beloved Son.[c]
I take delight in Him![d]18 And
we heard this voice when it came from heaven while we were with Him on the holy
mountain.19 So
we have the prophetic word strongly confirmed. You will do well to pay
attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dismal place, until the day
dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 First of all, you should
know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from one’s own interpretation, 21 because no prophecy ever
came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were moved by
the Holy Spirit.
