13. I think it right to stir you up with a reminder, as long as I remain alive in this “tent” of a body—
14. knowing that my death is soon, as our Lord Yeshua the Messiah has made clear to me.
15. And I will make every effort for you to always remember these things even after my departure.
16. For we did not follow cleverly concocted tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.
17. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, a voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory: “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased!”
18. And we ourselves heard this voice come out of heaven, when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19. Furthermore, we have the reliable prophetic word. You do well by paying attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20. Above all understand this: no prophecy of Scripture comes about from a person’s own interpretation.
21. For no prophecy was ever brought forth by human will; rather, people spoke from God as they were moved by the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
