Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Character Studies From The Bible

Elijah

17 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

4 Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.

9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

10 The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.

(Matthew 17:1-13)

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Christian Churches that have a Liturgical Calendar commemorate this event every year on Transfiguration Sunday. There are also many wonderful paintings inspired by this Passage of the Gospel, and I will be posting some of them today. Of course, no artist could ever capture such a scene, but they sure tried hard!

What is significant is that the identities of the two persons who appear with Jesus show that Jesus did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets, but to affirm and fulfill them. The profound respect and affirmation of Jesus for Moses (The Law) and Elijah (The Prophets) by appearing with them in this manner seems to have been lost to many generations of people.

Even the most trusted disciples of Jesus were baffled by this apparition, and babbled on about building tents for them! I suppose any one of us would probably been as shocked and awestruck to see such a thing happen, and would have said something equally silly.

In any case, with all the Prophets to choose from, Elijah was the person who was selected to represent them in this miracle.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!

Israeli Nation!

"The Transfiguration"
Chartres Cathedral

_

ND after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bring- eth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.

And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
