¹²So I will always remind you of these things. I’ll do it even though you know them. I’ll do it even though you now have deep roots in the truth. ¹³I think it is right for me to remind you. It is right as long as I live in this tent. I’m talking about my body.

¹⁴I know my tent will soon be removed. Our Lord Jesus Christ has made that clear to me. ¹⁵I hope that you will always be able to remember these things after I’m gone. I will try very hard to see that you do.

¹⁶We told you about the time our Lord Jesus Christ came with power. But we didn’t make up stories when we told you about it. With our own eyes we saw him in all his majesty. ¹⁷God the Father gave him honor and glory. The voice of the Majestic Glory came to him. It said, “This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him.” ¹⁸We ourselves heard the voice that came from heaven. We were with him on the sacred mountain.

¹⁹The word of the prophets is made more certain. We have that word. You must pay attention to it. It is like a light shining in a dark place. It will shine until the day Jesus comes. Then the Morning Star will rise in your hearts.

²⁰Above all, here is what you must understand. No prophecy in Scripture ever came from a prophet’s own understanding. ²¹It never came simply because a prophet wanted it to. Instead, the Holy Spirit guided the prophets as they spoke. So prophecy comes from God.
