Bible Question: Explain Mark 9:7 |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dr. Hawk, Mark 9:7 "Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!" Here is a bit of commentary that might help: "..Mark tells us that the garments of Jesus became radiant. The word he uses (stilbein) is the word which is used for the glistening gleam of burnished brass or gold, or of polished steel, or of the golden glare of the sunlight. When the incident came to an end a cloud overshadowed them. In Jewish thought the presence of God is regularly connected with the cloud. It was in the cloud that Moses met God. It was in the cloud that God came to Tabernacle. It was the cloud which filled the Temple when it was dedicated after Solomon had built it. And it was the dream of the Jews that when the Messiah came the cloud of God's presence would return to the Temple. (Exodus 16:10, 19:9, 33:9; 1 Kings 8:10)" ... "The descent of the cloud is a way of saying that the Messiah had come, and any Jew would understand it like that."
