The interpretation of the prophecy of scripture under
consideration here concerns the prophet's own interpretation and not just anyone's interpretation. The point here is that the origin of prophecy of
scripture is not the prophet himself. Therefore, to conclude that argues for a communal interpretation of the prophecy of scripture would be an eisegetical interpretation of a phrase that best suits
as a reference to the origin of prophecy as not coming from an individual but from the Holy Spirit. Therefore, Barr’s interpretive conclusion does not seem to fit the seemingly proper meaning of this phrase under.
