—2 Peter 1:16-21
by: Gabrielle Watt.
In this passage, Simon Peter wrote that he and the other apostles were eyewitnesses to the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy through Jesus Christ. He went on to explain that prophecies were not the words of humans but were revelations from God given to people who were led by the Holy Spirit. On the Mount of Transfiguration, God provided the most powerful confirmation that Jesus was the Son of God, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the Messiah. So, when the apostles were speaking, it was not just made-up stories or wishful thinking, but retold truths and explained experiences.
