Colossians 1:2 Opening verse:  20   First of all, understand this: no prophecy of Scripture is to be interpreted by an individual on his own;  21   for never has a prophecy come as a result of human willing — on the contrary, people moved by the Holy Ghost  spoke a message from God. 2 Peter 1.20-21 Introduction: It is my desire to attempt to shed some light on two different Bible passages here, take you on that journey as we look at them together and, hopefully, help you see scriptures as the Holy Ghost intends.
