2 Peter 1:18-20
New American Standard Bible
19And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.
20But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture becomes a matter of someone’s own interpretation,

19Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place — until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts.
20Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding,
