A More Sure Word of Prophecy 2 Peter 1:19 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: More sure than what? More sure than anything outside of scripture. If I ever doubted the Christian Faith, the amazing reality of Biblical fulfilled Prophecy would surly rescue my wondering heart. We stand on an undeniable proof rock strata so large and strong it boggles the mind by all methods of reason. Accurate fulfillment of prophecy does not exist at all outside of the Bible. I remember well the day the light of Prophecy opened all my dark places. It changed me forever, completely. “Approximately 25% or one quarter of the Bible was prophecy at the time it was written. Dr John Walvoord adds that... The revelation of prophecy in Scripture serves as an important evidence that the Scriptures are accurate in their interpretation of the future. Because approximately half (50%) of the prophecies of the Bible have already been fulfilled in a literal way, it gives a proper intellectual basis for assuming that prophecy yet to be fulfilled will likewise have a literal fulfillment. At the same time it justifies the conclusion that the Bible is inspired of the Holy Spirit and that prophecy which goes far beyond any scheme of man is instead a revelation by God of that which is certain to come to pass. The fact that prophecy has been fulfilled serves as a guide to interpret the prophecies which are yet ahead. (Walvoord, J. F. The Prophecy Knowledge Handbook. Wheaton, Ill.: Victor Books)” And so fulfilled prophecy is now history, but there is clearly much exciting prophecy that remains to be fulfilled to the letter (Nu 23:19). Remember however that prophecy was not written to satisfy our curiosity about how the world will end or to make us smarter sinners, but to cause us to discipline ourselves for godliness (1Ti 4:7, 8, 1Ti 4:9, 10, 11) so that we are being conformed by the Holy Spirit (Ro 8:29-, Ro 12:2, 1Ti 6:3, 1Pe 1:14) more and more into the glory of our Lord and Savior (2Co 3:18).
