And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
We actually heard this voice from heaven ourselves when we were up on that sacred mountain with him.
Peter's like 'I was literally there when God spoke from heaven, this isn't secondhand info.'
📚 Historical Context
In the Second Epistle of Peter, the apostle is writing to encourage early Christians facing false teachings and doubts about Jesus' divinity, drawing from his own experiences as an eyewitness. Peter is specifically referring to the Transfiguration event on a holy mountain, likely Mount Tabor, where he, James, and John saw Jesus' glory and heard God's voice from heaven confirming Jesus as His Son. This reference serves as a personal testimony to affirm the truth of the Gospel and counter any challenges to Christ's authority.
