2 Peter 1:19-21

God used the prophets to speak his message

19 We also have the prophets' messages from long ago. They show us very clearly that these things are true. The prophets' words are like a light that shines in a dark place. That light continues to shine in the dark until the dawn comes. So you need to think about those messages carefully. Then the morning star will rise at dawn and it will bring light deep inside you. 20 It is very important that you should understand this: The prophets' messages in the Bible did not come from their own ideas. That never happens. 21 None of the prophets' messages came because any person wanted to say something. Instead, God's Holy Spirit caused people to speak words that came from God.

1:19God's prophets spoke messages about the Messiah who would come in the future. That was like a light which shone in a dark place. When Jesus returns to the earth, that will be like the dawn. He is like the morning star that appears in the sky just before the sunrise. It shows us that the day is coming. Jesus says that he is the morning star. See Revelation 22:16.
