彼得後書1:19-21

1:19 我們並有先知更確的預言，如同燈照在暗處。你們在這預言上留意，直等到天發亮，晨星在你們心裡出現的時候，才是好的。

1:20 第一要緊的，該知道經上所有的預言沒有可隨私意解說的；

1:21 因為預言從來沒有出於人意的，乃是人被聖靈感動，說出上帝的話來。

We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

    說到先知預言的用意，是要宣告上帝的旨意，使人回歸到上帝的律法所要求的。所以，預言不是滿足人對將來的預知，是要人得警戒，好持守自己在上帝的律法中，不離開上帝的救恩。

    所以使徒彼得在此告訴我們，不可隨己意解釋預言，要回歸上帝的拯救計畫，才能真正明白預言的意義。這也就是說，我們要回到基督裡，讓聖靈來引導，才可以在預言上有所認識。

    當然，我們若好好研讀聖經，用心聽牧者的講到，隨時禱告親近上帝，就會明白一切預言都是只像耶穌基督所成就的救恩，也就是在基督裡，我們可以得著永生，享受上帝所賜一切屬靈的福氣！
