2 PETER 1:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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:”
And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts — the prophetic word (logos propheteias) refers to Old Testament messianic prophecy now fulfilled and illuminated by the transfiguration. The lamp (lychnos) metaphor suggests guidance through obscurity toward ultimate revelation. The morning star (phosphoros) is a christological symbol of the coming dawn.
