There is an event in the life of Jesus Christ, when he walked the earth in the flesh, that is recorded in three of the four historical accounts about the life of Jesus Christ as found in the New Testament section of the Bible.

Christians refer to this event as “The Transfiguration.”

Here is the account from the book of Mark:

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.

And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them.

And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

And Peter said to Jesus,

“Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.”

For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified.

And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud,

“This is my beloved Son; listen to him.”

And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.

And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

So they kept the matter to themselves, questioning what this rising from the dead might mean.

And they asked him,

“Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?”

And he said to them,

“Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.” (Mark 9:2-13)

The parallel passages in the historical records of Jesus are in Matthew 17:1-13, and in Luke 9:28-36. In the account of Matthew, it says that the disciples understood that Jesus was referring to John the Baptist as the one who came as “Elijah.”

Most modern-day Christians and Christian teachers such as Pastors, are so blinded by Zionism that they fail to understand the full significance of this story, even while acknowledging it’s true.

It is called “The Transfiguration” because of the verb that is used to explain what these three disciples, who were the “inner three” and closest to Jesus, John, James, and Peter, saw when they looked at Jesus: “He was transfigured before them.”

The verb in the original Greek language that this was written in, and was then translated into English as “transfigure“, is μεταμορφόω (metamorphoō), which means to change into another form, to transform, to transfigure.

We have a noun in English that comes from this Greek word, “metamorphosis”.

It is used four times in the New Testament Greek Bible, and is also sometimes translated as “transform.”

The idea is that the “transformation” is into a higher form, such as the “metamorphosis” of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

Besides the two times this word is used for this event with Jesus with his three inner circle closest disciples, and Moses and Elijah, it is used two other places where the English word translation is usually “transform”.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. (Romans 12:2)

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

The term “unveiled face” used in 2 Corinthians, refers to Moses in the Old Testament, whose face was shining after talking to God directly in the Tabernacle, and had to veil his face afterwards as the “shining” began to fade.

And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

Whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. And when he came out and told the people of Israel what he was commanded, the people of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face was shining.

And Moses would put the veil over his face again, until he went in to speak with him. (Exodus 34:33-35)

Under the Law and Old Covenant, Moses had to veil his face after talking to God. Under the New Covenant, we all can talk to God with “unveiled faces.”

Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. But their minds were hardened.

For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. (2 Corinthians 3:12-14)

As we look at the two people Jesus talked to on top of this mountain, Moses and Elijah represent the Old Covenant.

Moses received the Ten Commandments and the entire Law on Mt. Sinai, which represents the Old Covenant, and Elijah represents all the prophets, who taught and preached the Old Covenant, as Elijah was the greatest of the prophets since he never died, but went directly to Heaven.

The parallels of this event with John, James, and Peter on top of a mountain with Jesus, is strikingly similar to the event of Moses receiving the Old Covenant Law on Mt. Sinai.

God spoke to Moses out of a cloud, and God spoke to John, James, and Peter out of a cloud.

God told Moses what to write down as The Law, which the prophets then used to tell the people what God was communicating to them.

God told John, James, and Peter to listen to Jesus, who implemented the New Covenant, with his death and resurrection.

The fact that there were 3 people with Jesus at this event is also significant, because under the Old Covenant law, a person could only be convicted criminally based on the “testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses” which were needed to determine legal truth. (Deuteronomy 19:15)

As I have previously written, much of this transition from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant is fleshed out and explained in the New Testament book of Hebrews, which begins:

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hebrews 1:1-3)

So under the Old Covenant, God spoke to his people through the prophets, but under the New Covenant, God speaks to his people directly though Jesus Christ.

Peter, who was present at this event, refers to it in his 2nd letter to the believers.

For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory,

“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,”

we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.

And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation.

For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:16-21)

The word “Scripture” here is γραφή (graphē), which means a “written record,” and in the context of the New Testament, where this word is used over 50 times, it means the inspired writings of Moses and the Prophets, which are considered the words of God in the Old Testament.

What the story of “The Transfiguration” really means, is that the New Covenant instituted by Jesus has replaced the Old Covenant, and that those who actually sat under the teachings of Jesus, and then later wrote down much of what he said, is also “Scripture.”

Only once is the word “Scripture” used in the New Testament where it is NOT referring to the Old Testament writings, and Peter is the one who used it where he wrote:

And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters.

There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. (2 Peter 3:15-16)

Peter here is clearly stating that Paul’s writings in the New Testament are authoritative “Scriptures” just as the Old Testament writings were.

While Paul was originally a Satanic Jew who participated in murdering and imprisoning Jews who had believed in Jesus as the promised Messiah, he had a direct encounter with Jesus on his way to Damascus, where he received specific instructions directly from the risen Jesus Christ.

John, the brother of James (who died an early death as a martyr), was one of the three on the mountain when Jesus was “transfigured”, and he makes an emphasis in his historical account about the life of Jesus to refer to Jesus as the “Word” of God, clearly showing how the Word of God under the New Covenant is superior to the Old Covenant Word of God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him.

He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:9-14)

Read the Word of God!

We may soon be seeing unprecedented times where those who believe in the New Covenant ushered in by Jesus Christ, the Messiah, will be censored and attacked.

My own writings may soon be censored and taken off of the Internet as the Zionist cult will now gain power under the Zionists who are being recruited to serve in the new Trump administration.

But the wonderful thing about the New Covenant, which the Satanic Zionist Jews deny, and the Zionist Christians do not understand, is that anyone can now know Jesus Christ, and read and know the Word of God.

Under the New Covenant, we no longer need “specialists” who carry titles before their names, as everyone can know God directly, through Jesus Christ.

I wrote an article about this in 2021 during the rollout of the COVID-19 shots where most Christian Churches were supporting them, and I assured everyone that a Church and a “Pastor” are not even needed to know the Word of God in the New Covenant. See:

To “Save” America will the Foundation of the Corporate American Christian Church Need to be Destroyed?

If it was dangerous during COVID to attend and bring your children into American Christian Churches, it could get much worse soon, as Zionism could become the law of the land in the U.S. and other places, under the cloak of “antisemitism.”

Satan is the one at the top coordinating all of this, and we fight Satan with Truth, by exposing his lies with the Truth, who is Jesus Christ, and shining the light of that truth into the darkness where Satan lives.

Studying the Bible is the best way to expose their lies, because everything about Zionism, especially for the Christian Zionists, is supposed to be based on the Scriptures.

I have people ask me quite frequently how to read the Bible and which version one should read.

I highly recommend the electronic Bible software called E-Sword, which allows you to read the English Bible in multiple translations, and even allows you to look up the original words in the original language the Bible was written in, without any formal education.

This is a program you can download on to your computer’s hard drive, and does NOT require the use of the Internet. It has several modules you can download, most of them free, and now is the time to do this, while the Internet is still up.

I have written an article that discusses the Bible more in depth here, and also discusses E-sword.

Should You Read the Ancient Bible? Is The Bible Accurate or Corrupted?

It does run best on a Windows PC (although there are Apple versions now, but I don’t know how well they work), but you can pick up a cheap Windows computer or laptop these days that in many cases is less expensive than the cell phone you are probably carrying around.

And once you download the E-sword program, you can completely disconnect your computer from the Internet as an “air gap” computer, even if it is just for your electronic Bible.

If you were to purchase all of the books contained in this program, it would run you many thousands of dollars.

Once you start reading and studying the Bible for yourself, you will easily be able to see through the false teachings of Zionism.

And for those of you who are still caught up in the MAGA cult, I have a challenge for you.

I challenge anyone of you who has direct access to Donald Trump, or are close to someone who has contact with Donald Trump, to ask Trump a question like this, and watch how he responds:

Mr. President, do you believe that Jesus Christ is the Jewish Messiah, and that he died and rose again from the dead to forgive our sins?

I doubt that there is a reporter or MAGA supporter that would even dare to ask him this, but if there is, record his answer, including his facial expressions.
