“WHEN MOSES AND ELIJAH APPEARED WERE THEY DEAD OR ALIVE? There are those who insist that saints who have died are nothing more than “dead saints” who can do nothing. I usually ask them this question. When Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, were they dead or alive? “And behold, two men were conversing with him, Moses and Elijah” (Lk 9:30). Not bad for a couple of so-called “dead saints;” not only did they appear, but they were talking as well. The question that I asked usually goes unanswered.”
A good enough question but not the primary ones.
If indeed this is Moses and Elijah had they been resurrected from their graves just for this event? Or had they been summoned from heaven? If so did they return there?
I know what the author means when I start asking questions.
I’m sorry if I missed your reply as I’ve been away from the office for a while. Did I miss it? Or is it the question?
