We have also a more sure word of prophesy unto which ye dowell 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, knowingthis first, that no prophesy of the scripture is of any privateinterpretation. For the prophesy came not at any time for the will ofman, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the HolySpirit. King James Version. 2 Peter 1:19-21

Living bible¬ Cßs\ ImWp-∂p. "So we have seen andproved that what the prophets said came true. You will do well topay close attention to everything they have written, for, like lightsshining into dark corners, their words help us to understand manythings that otherwise would be dark and difficult. But when youconsider the wonderful truth of the prophets’ words, then the lightwill dawn in your souls and Christ the Morning Star will shine inyour hearts. For no prophesy recorded in scripture was ever thoughtup by the prophet himself. It was the Holy Spirit within these godlymen who gave them true messages from God.''

I am telling you this strange and wonderful secret; we shallnot all die, but we shall all be given new bodies! It will all happen ina moment, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet isblown. For there will be a trumpet blast from the sky and all thechristians who have died will suddenly become alive, with new bodiesthat will never, never die and then we who are still alive shall suddenly

79

have new bodies too. For our earthly bodies, the ones we have nowthat can die, must be transformed into heavenly bodies that cannot perish, but will live for ever (Living Bilbe 15:52-57)
