Texts -- 2 Peter 1:19-21 (NET)

Context
1:19 Moreover, we possess the prophetic word as an altogether reliable thing . You do well if you pay attention to this as you would to a light shining in a murky place , until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts . 1:20 Above all , you do well if you recognize this : No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination , 1:21 for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse ; rather , men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God .
