留意申言者更确定的话

请我们先祷告

主，我们从深处敬拜你，在这一个黑暗的世代，你把我们分别出来。世代虽然黑暗，我们却有你话语的灯照在暗处，我们众人一同来到你话语跟前！

彼得把经上预言的话比作照在暗处的（灯）。这指明：(一)今世乃是（黑夜）里的暗处，（罗十三12，）这世上的人都是在黑暗里行走、活动；(二)经上申言者的话犹如信徒的（明灯），传输属灵的（光）（不仅供人心思理解的字句知识），照耀在他们的黑暗里，引导他们进入光明的（白昼），甚至经过黑夜，直到主（显现）的那日，天发亮的时候。在主这阳光显出以前，我们需要祂话的（光），照耀我们的脚步。（参彼后一19注3）

明天:主知道搭救敬虔的人脱离试炼

Peter likened the word of prophecy in the Scripture to a (lamp) shining in a dark place. This indicates that (1) this age is a dark place in the (dark) (night) (Rom. 13:12), and all the people of this world are moving and acting in darkness; and (2) the prophetic word of the Scripture, as the shining (lamp) to the believers, conveys spiritual (light) that shines in their darkness (not merely knowledge in letters for their mental apprehension), guiding them to enter into a (bright) (day), even to pass through the dark night until the day of the Lord's (appearing) dawns. Before the Lord as the sunlight appears, we need this word as (light) to shine over our footsteps. (See 2 Pet. 2:19 note 2)
