NASB | Matthew 17:4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 17:4 Then Peter began to speak and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good and delightful and auspicious that we are here; if You wish, I will put up three [sacred] tents here--one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." |
Bible Question: I've thought of that one, but Moses and Elijah are both on earth, not in heaven, neither do they have a new name. Do you know another scripture to support knowing one another in heaven? |
Bible Answer: Both Elijah and Moses had unusual circumstances around thier death. moses was allwoed to see the promised land in his old age, died on top of a mountain, and accorind to scripture, God buried Moses himself. And moses body was never to be found. While Elijah was carried up to heaven in a Whirlwind. So are they really on earth? Peter wanted to show how special the place was by buidling houses, or temples for Moses and Elijah. but later, Jesus told him to keep this thing quiet until he was glorifed. no, i concider Moses and Elijah to be in heaven. They were there to possible comfort jesus in his trial ahead. |
