2 Peter 1:16 - 1:21
2 PeterSteve Gregg
In this passage, Steve Gregg explores 2 Peter 1:16-21 and discusses the concept of eyewitness testimony versus scripture as reliable sources of truth. Peter's retelling of the Transfiguration is used as an example of possible literary and prophetic fulfillment. While some witnesses may have backed down on their testimonies, the proclamation of the prophetic word in scripture is deemed as solid truth. Gregg concludes by exploring the transition from chapter 1 to chapter 2 in terms of distinguishing true and false prophets.
