Prophecy
“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: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (2 Peter 1:19-21).
The Bible is the only book whose prophecies are unfailingly true, because man cannot tell the future. The writer of Psalm 119 affirmed, “Thou through Thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for Thy testimonies are my meditation” (verses 98-99). In other words, the person who is diligently and prayerfully reading their Bible has more light and understanding as to future events and God’s plans and purposes for this world than others who are not.
Every Scripture and every prophecy will have its fulfillment, and through it all the Lord Jesus will be magnified and glorified.
