God’s calling

2Pet 1:3–21

1:3 God’s calling

3He has given us everything necessary for life and godliness through his divine power as we know the one who called us to his own glory and moral excellence. 4Through these things, he has given us precious and very great promises that you will become participants of the divine nature after escaping the corruption in the world of lust. 5For this same reason, work hard to apply your faith adding moral excellence, and to that excellence add knowledge; 6to that knowledge add self-control; to that self-control add endurance; to that endurance add godliness; 7to that godliness add brotherly concern; and to the brotherly concern add selfless love. 8Because if these things are part of you and continually increasing, your knowledge of our Lord Yeshua Messiah won’t become useless or unproductive. 9But if these things aren’t part of someone, that person is shortsighted as if they’ve forgotten that prior cleansing of their sins.

10So then fellow Christians, work hard to make your calling and election certain—that way you will never fall away— 11and so you will be richly provided entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and saviour Yeshua Messiah.

12Therefore I intend to always remind you about these things, even though you know them and are already established in the truth that you know. 13But I consider it right, as long as I live in this tent, to get you stirred up with a reminder, 14since I know that this tent of mine will soon be left behind as our Lord Yeshua Messiah himself told me. 15And I will also make every effort to make sure that you will always remember these things after my departure.

16We didn’t follow cleverly crafted fables, but rather having been eyewitnesses of the majesty of our Lord Yeshua Messiah, we made his power and forthcoming return known to you. 17[ref]Because he received the honour and glory from God the Father when a voice spoke to him with magnificent glory saying, “This is my son that I dearly love and who has pleased me greatly.” 18Indeed we heard this voice from heaven ourselves as we had been taken with him to the holy mountain.

19In addition there are the words of the prophets that were fulfilled which you would do well to pay attention to—like a light that shines in the dark placesuntil the day dawns and the one who is the morning star rises in your hearts. 20And know this foundational truth: all of the prophecy in Scripture doesn’t just come from our own interpretations 21or from the ideas of man, but from God speaking via men being guided by the Holy Spirit.

Mat 17:1-5:

17:1 Yeshua’s face shines brightly

(Mark 9:2-13, Luke 9:28-36)

17After six days, Yeshua took Peter, and Yacob and his brother Yohan, and they went up a high hill by themselves, 2and Yeshua was changed in front of them so that his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as white as the light. 3Then look, Mosheh and Eliyah appeared and they could see them talking with Yeshua. 4Then Peter spoke up and said to Yeshua, “Master, it’s good that we’re here. If you want, I could make three shelters here: one for you and one for Mosheh and one for Eliyah.”

5[ref]While he was still speaking, a bright cloud came over the top of them and wow, a voice came out of the cloud saying, “This is my dear son that I get great pleasure from. Just listen to him.”

9:2 Mosheh and Eliyah speak with Yeshua

(Mat. 17:1-13, Luke 9:28-36)

2[ref]Six days later Yeshua took Peter and Yacob and Yohan, and just the four of them went up onto a high hill. Then he was changed right in front of their eyes 3and his clothes turned incredibly shining white—whiter than any bleach could make them. 4And Eliyah and Mosheh appeared beside Yeshua and started talking with him. 5Peter said to Yeshua, “Teacher, it’s good that we’re here. Maybe we could make three shelters up here: one for you and one for Mosheh and one for Eliyah?” 6He said that because they were terrified and didn’t know what to say.

7[ref]Then a cloud came over the sun and a voice came out of the cloud saying, “This is my dear son. Listen to him.”

9:28 Yeshua talks with Mosheh and Eliyah

(Mark 9:2-8, Mat. 17:1-8)

28It was about eight days later that Yeshua took Peter and Yohan and Yacob, and climbed a hill to pray. 29While he was praying, the appearance of his face changed and his clothes turned brilliant white. 30Then, look, there were two men talking with him—Mosheh and Eliyah! 31Those two who’d been in heaven were talking about the end of his time here which was about to actioned in Yerushalem. 32Peter and the others had been exhausted and fallen asleep, but when they woke up they saw the radiance of Yeshua and the other two standing there with him, 33but when it was time for the two to leave, Peter said to Yeshua, “Master, it’s good that we’re here. We could make three shelters: one for you, one for Mosheh, and one for Eliyah.” (But he didn’t really know what he was saying.)

34While he was still speaking, a cloud appeared and enveloped them and they were afraid as they entered the fog. 35[ref]Then a voice came out of the cloud that said, “This is my son, the one that has been chosen. Listen to him.”
