Luke 9:28 ¶ And it came to
pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James,
and went up into a mountain to pray. 29
And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his
raiment was white and glistering. 30 And, behold, there talked with him two men,
which were Moses and Elias: 31 Who
appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at
Jerusalem. 32 But Peter and they that
were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his
glory, and the two men that stood with him. 33
And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus,
Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one
for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
34 While he thus spake, there came a
cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud,
saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. 36
And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it
close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
Jesus takes three of
His disciples with Him to pray and they saw an amazing thing. Christ was
glorified and they saw Him talking to Moses and Elijah.
Moses’ appearance was
altered after he met with God.
Exodus 34: 28 ¶ And he was
there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor
drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten
commandments. 29 And it came to pass,
when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in
Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the
skin of his face shone while he talked with him. 30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel
saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come
nigh him.
Jesus appeared
glorified to John in Revelation.
Revelation 1:10 I was in
the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of
a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am
Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book,
and send it unto the seven
churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos,
and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12 And I turned to see the voice that
spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed
with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were
white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and
his voice as the sound of many waters.
Moses and Elijah will
appear again at the end of human-centered history and I think this is a
reference to their activity.
Revelation 11:3 ¶ And I
will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in
sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive
trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth
out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them,
he must in this manner be killed. 6
These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their
prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the
earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 7 And when they shall have finished their
testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war
against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is
called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 9 And they of the people and kindreds and
tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall
rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because
these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11 And after three days and an half the Spirit
of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great
fear fell upon them which saw them. 12
And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up
hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld
them. 13 And the same hour was there a
great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake
were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave
glory to the God of heaven.
Peter, James, and John saw his glory. We, too, will see Him one
day, perhaps sooner than you expected.
Psalm 17:15 As for me, I
will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with
thy likeness.
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change
our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according
to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Colossians 3:1 ¶ If ye then
be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth
on the right hand of God. 2 Set your
affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with
Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then
shall ye also appear with him in glory.
