Peter emphasizes that the prophetic word of the Old Testament is an incredibly reliable foundation for faith. Scholars debate whether he means it's 'more sure' than his eyewitness account of the transfiguration, or that the transfiguration made the prophecies more sure by fulfilling them. In either case, the message is clear: Scripture is a firm, trustworthy, and authoritative source of truth about Christ.
