Bible Question:
Matt 17:1-13; Mark 9:2-13; Luke 9:28-36 The trasfiguration of our Lord... Is there anywhere in scripure that would support this being a vision? Did the Lord anywhere in scripture explain to the diciples that this was a vision and not an actual occurance, meaning being live and in person. Is there any scripture that one could use which might support a vision by innuendo. The only thing I could find Jesus telling his diciples is to not reveal what they saw, which leads me to the conclusion and belief this was an actual occurance and not a vision. Thank you, Pat |
Bible Answer: Hi Pat, When we read about this event in Luke 9:28-36, for Luke expands on the event and tells us that the three disciples were asleep, being tired. Then Luke states, "when they were awake, they saw" (v32). There is no induendo that this was a vision or a dream but an actual event. Just as angels have appeared to man on occasion: (Heb 13:2) "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." This was an actual, wide-awake, with the physical eyes event and not a vision. Peace to our house, eklektos |
