3554—Moses and Elijah

By Editor

Matt. 17:3. In what form did Moses and Elias appear? bodily, or how? M. T. D.

Bodily, evidently! Moses had been raised from the dead, as intimated by Jude 9, while Elijah had been translated without seeing death. They came to comfort our Lord concerning the sufferings through which He was to pass. Luke 9:30, 31. God designed that those disciples should hear their conversation concerning Christ's decease; but they allowed themselves to be overcome with sleep, and consequently missed that which would have helped them in their testing at the time of Christ's death. That transfiguration scene was a miniature representation of Christ's second coming. Compare Matt. 16:27 with 2 Peter 1:16-18. Moses represented those who would be raised from the dead to immortality, and Elijah those who would be translated without seeing death.
