will of man; but men spake from God, being
moved by the Holy Ghost "--borne along as a
storm-caught ship is driven before the wind. 1

____________________
1 2 Peter i. 21. The word "moved" is literally carried along:
see its use in Acts xxvii. 15, 17 (driven). The whole passage is of
great importance in this connection--"No prophecy of the Scrip-
ture is of any private interpretation." The word rendered "inter-
pretation" occurs here only. The verb is used in the LXX.
( Gen. xli. 12) as the translation of the Hebrew pathar, to open
unfold, disclose. And the word here rendered "private" occurs
113 times in the New Testament, but nowhere else is it so
translated. It is rendered "his own" 77 times. And the word
"is" is not the verb to be,but to come into existence, to come to be.
What the passage declares, therefore, is that no prophecy ever
originated with the prophet's own unfolding (or sending forth).
It speaks, not of the interpretation of the prophecies, but of their
origin and source, and thus disposes of the theories of the
critics. (See Dr. Bullinger Figures of Speech used in the Bible,
p. 130.)
