Present Truth

2 Peter 1:12-18 King James Version (KJV)

12. Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

13. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

14. Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

15. Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

16. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

18. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

To be established in present truth we must study the books of Daniel and Revelation, which provide a historical and future view of the world (last day events before the second coming of Jesus Christ).

Sure Word Of Prophecy

Peter wants us to know that just as he heard the words of God spoken on the mount, we can be certain about the truth in the word of prophecy (the bible). The bible was not written according to man’s impulses, but by the leading of the Holy Spirit, so take heed, i.e. pay attention to what the bible has to say.

2 Peter 1:19-21 King James Version (KJV)

19. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
