{The word of prophecy} (	on proph(8874)ikon logon). "The
prophetic word." Cf.  1Pe 1:10 , a reference to all the Messianic
prophecies. {Made more sure} (ebaioteron). Predicate
accusative of the comparative adjective ebaios ( 2Pe 1:10 ).
The Transfiguration scene confirmed the Messianic prophecies and
made clear the deity of Jesus Christ as God's Beloved Son. Some
with less likelihood take Peter to mean that the word of prophecy
is a surer confirmation of Christ's deity than the
Transfiguration. {Whereunto} (h(9369)). Dative of the relative
referring to "the prophetic word made more sure." {That ye take
heed} (prosechontes). Present active participle with 
oun
(mind) understood, "holding your mind upon" with the dative
(h(9369)). {As unto a lamp} (h(9373) luchn(9369)). Dative also after
prosechontes of luchnos, old word ( Mt 5:15 ). {Shining}
