God Has Spoken

Knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20-21).

One of the greatest works of the Holy Spirit has been the giving of God’s truth to people through the prophets. Notice that phrase, “prophecy of Scripture.” This simply means God’s prophetic message as written in the Scriptures. The prophets not only spoke from God, they also wrote from God! What they prophesied was not their own “interpretation.” It was not their personal opinion or guess about truth. True prophecy never came from human will. It came from God Himself as His Holy Spirit moved them to tell just what He planned.
