Of Jesus, who made the Mosaic laws obsolete, of Moses who represented the Law, and of Elijah who represents the prophets. Jesus established a new covenant based on better promises. His sacrifice took away the sins of repentant ones. The spirit of Elijah was prophesied to come to reconcile fathers to sons and sons to fathers, and to rid the land of idol worship. The disciples seeing the vision were Peter, James and John. |
