The Morning Star Arises

2 Peter 1:19

19 So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.

Here it seems that Peter is going beyond being with Jesus and hearing His words and even experiencing His glory. He is bringing the Scripture into view as being our authority, and that we should pay close attention to them. They are to be as a lamp shining in this dark world, and they will point to the coming of Jesus Christ. He is the morning star (Rev. 2:28), and when He comes and we see Him, He will fill and transform our heart (1Jn. 3:2).
