2 Peter 1:19

2 PETER—NOTE ON 2 Peter 1:19 the prophetic word more fully confirmed. Some have understood this to mean that Peter’s experience of the Transfiguration provides confirmation of OT prophecy, making the already-sure prophecy of the OT even more sure as confirmed by the Transfiguration. Others have understood “more fully confirmed” to mean that the prophetic writings of the OT are even “more sure” than Peter’s experience at the Transfiguration. The contrast between “we have” and “you will do well” seems to imply that the interpretation of the apostles (“we”) is to be regarded as authoritative for the church (“you”). Day dawns and morning star both refer to the day of final judgment and salvation (Isaiah 13:9; Joel 1:15; Amos 5:20). Jesus’ second coming will also rise in your hearts. Christ’s presence will purify the hearts of his people.
