The Truth.

2Pe 1:16  For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 

2Pe 1:17  For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

2Pe 1:18  And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 

2Pe 1:19  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 

2Pe 1:20  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 

2Pe 1:21  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 

Cunningly devised fables.

How many people believe in cunningly devised fables?  It's all a part of deceptive practices that Satan uses. Here in this passage Peter is telling them that they haven't followed cunningly devised fables as they spoke of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. People believed that those who actually witnessed our Savior's miracles, those who heard the Father God blessing His Beloved Son, were spinning fables.  Today people believe the same thing- many people.  We may not have been with our Savior while He walked the earth but we know through faith, that He, and all He's done is not the stuff of fables.

We really do have a MORE sure word of prophecy. And we really do need to take heed so that all the light of the word of God can dispel all the darkness Satan would have us engulfed in. We need to take heed to the sure word of prophecy until the day star arises in our hearts!

Not a single prophecy is of ANY private interpretation. If anyone says they have their own interpretation they need to read these words. The will of MAN is not involved in prophecy, the Holy Spirit- God the Holy Spirit- gave men of God the words, they were not their own words at all.

We believe in GOD'S words, not man's words, not Satan's words, but GOD'S words are what we believe!

May He only ever allow us to see His truth! May we see, may we understand, and may we through the truth follow Him and be His in that truth!

Joh_14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
