14. since I know that my tabernacle will soon be removed, because our Lord Jesus Christ revealed this to me.
15. Indeed, I will also make every effort that, after my departure, you have a testimony of these things.
16. For we did not follow cleverly concocted fables when we made known to you the power and return of our Lord Jesus Christ; no, we were eyewitnesses of his grandeur.
17. For he received honor and glory from God the Father, when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory: “This is my dear Son, in whom I am delighted.”

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.
20. Above all, you do well if you recognize this: No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination,
21. for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
