Schubart, after glossing the first participle as ‘‘ mit Griffen yersehen,” confesses that the next word is unintelligible to him—it might begin with Sieur. A perf. partic. from διαυγάζω is | possible: could it mean ‘‘ (semi) transparent,” like διαυγής ?

Dawns (1306) diaugazo

Dawns (1306) (diaugazo from diá = through + augázo = shine) means literally to shine through. This word was used to describe daylight breaking through the darkness of night, picturing the first gleams of the sun piercing the darkness. The day Peter is referring to here is when Christ returns in glory to establish His 1000 Messianic Kingdom. (See notes on The Millennium 1, The Millennium 2, The Millennium 3) Vincent adds that "the verb (diaugazo) is compounded of dia = through, and auge = sunlight, thus carrying the picture of light breaking through the gloom." Diligent use of the prophetic lamp will be needed only until the day dawns. The word "until" indicates that we are now in the period of waiting, at the end of which prophecy upon its fulfillment will pass away as taught by Paul (1Cor 13:8-note). In other words, the truths in the Bible will continue to point to the source of all truth, Christ, until He returns in glory (At His Second Coming recorded in Revelation 19:13-note John records that Christ is "clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God.")
