*
For this reason I shall always persist in reminding you of these things ,
although you know them and are stedfast believers in truth which you already possess .
*
But I think it right ,
so long as I remain in the body ,
my present dwelling-place ,
to arouse you by such reminders .
*
For I know that the time for me to lay aside my body is now rapidly drawing near ,
even as our Lord Jesus Christ has revealed to me .
*
So on every possible occasion I will also do my best to enable you to recall these things after my departure .
*
For when we made known to you the power and Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ ,
we were not eagerly following cleverly devised legends ,
but we had been eye-witnesses of His majesty .
*
He received honour and glory from God the Father ,
and out of the wondrous glory words such as these were spoken to Him , »
This is My dearly-loved Son ,
in whom I take delight .«
*
And we ourselves heard these words come from Heaven ,
when we were with Him on the holy mountain .
*
And in the written word of prophecy we have something more permanent ;
to which you do well to pay attention –
as to a lamp shining in a dimly-lighted place –
until day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts .
*
But ,
above all ,
remember that no prophecy in Scripture will be found to have come from the prophet '
s own prompting ;
*
for never did any prophecy come by human will ,
but men sent by God spoke as they were impelled by the Holy Spirit .
