INSPIRATION
At the golden gate of song
Stood I, knocking all day long,
But the Angel, calm and cold,
Still refused and bade me, "Hold."
Then a breath of soft perfume,
Then a light within the gloom;
Thou, Love, camest to my side,
And the gates flew open wide.
Long I dwelt in this domain,
Knew no sorrow, grief, or pain;
Now you bid me forth and free,
Will you shut these gates on me?

Wikipedia de
Inspiration f. (genitive Inspiration, plural Inspirationen)
that extraordinary or supernatural divine influence vouchsafed to
those who wrote the Holy Scriptures, rendering their writings
infallible. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God" (R.V.,
"Every scripture inspired of God"), 2 Tim. 3:16. This is true of
all the "sacred writings," not in the sense of their being works of
genius or of supernatural insight, but as "theopneustic," i.e.,
"breathed into by God" in such a sense that the writers were
supernaturally guided to express exactly what God intended them to
express as a revelation of his mind and will. The testimony of the
sacred writers themselves abundantly demonstrates this truth; and
if they are infallible as teachers of doctrine, then the doctrine
of plenary inspiration must be accepted. There are no errors in the
Bible as it came from God, none have been proved to exist.
Difficulties and phenomena we cannot explain are not errors. All
these books of the Old and New Testaments are inspired. We do not
say that they contain, but that they are, the Word of God. The gift
of inspiration rendered the writers the organs of God, for the
infallible communication of his mind and will, in the very manner
and words in which it was originally given.
As to the nature of inspiration we have no information. This only we know, it rendered the writers infallible. They were all equally inspired, and are all equally infallible. The inspiration of the sacred writers did not change their characters. They retained all their individual peculiarities as thinkers or writers. (See BIBLE �T0000580; WORD OF GOD.)
