What makes the Bible different from a history or science book is that the Bible has a power of the Holy Spirit.In Ephesians 1:17-19,  There are two important practical applications related to the illuminating ministry of the Holy Spirit.Inspiration

2 Peter 1:20-21: "First of all, you should know this: No prophecy of Scripture comes from one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, men spoke from God as they were moved by the Holy Spirit" There are two truths written in the Word of God: The first truth about the Word of God is that it is from God not man. The second truth is that the human authors were "moved by the Holy Spirit" Peter's explanation is equivalent to what Paul was describing: "All Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work" (2 Tim 3:16-17).Sanctification

This chapter refers to the sanctifying work that the Holy Spirit does in the life of believers to enable them to grow in faith and become more like Christ.Illumination is not revelation.Mirrors don't lie.
