2 Peter 1:19

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:

Ver. 19. A more sure word ] The authority of the Scriptures is greater than an angel’s voice, of equal command to God’s audible and immediate voice, and of greater perspicuity and certainty to us; for besides inspiration, it is both written and sealed.

As unto a light ] As the governor of a ship hath his hand on the stern, his eye on the pole star; so should we on Christ the day star, Revelation 2:28 ; Revelation 22:12 .

Until the day dawn ] Till there be a more full gospel light.

And the day star ] Christ the star of Jacob, the bright morning star, Revelation 22:16 , the Sun of righteousness,Malachi 4:2; Malachi 4:2 ;
