The Transfiguration
Matthew 17:1-13
1 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. 4 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, let us make here three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5 While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. 7 But Jesus came and touched them and said, “Arise, and do not be afraid.” 8 When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead.” 10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11 Jesus answered and said to them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.
THE TRANSFIGURATION OF JESUS CHRIST It is a story of: This and that...THEN AND NOW
The Transfiguration was an event for the people of Jesus' time as well as a message for us today. The story is about what happened then AND what will be! 1. "...now after six days..." 2Peter 3:8 "But Beloved, do not forget one thing,that with the Lord is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day"
***THE PYRAMID OF GIZA (BUILT UNDER THE COMMAND OF ENOCH) HAS A TIMELINE BUILT INTO IT...THE TIMELINE SHOWS THE START OF THE WORLD AT -4004 B.C.***
SO THAT SIX DAYS = AND A DAY WITH THE LORD IS LIKE
UNTO A THOUSAND YEARS = {6 X 1000}
6,000 -4004 = 1996

2."there appeared before them Moses and Elijah..."
Who is here? Who is missing? Why are these two here?
Question: Who is here? Answer: Moses and Elijah. Question: Who is missing? Answer: Enoch. Question: Why are these two here? Answer: Moses died and did not go into the promised land. Where is the mountain the Transfiguration takes place at? It is IN THE PROMISED LAND. Before the ascension of Jesus, Moses is the only man who died BUT whose body was taken to heaven! JUDE 1:9 9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when
he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him
a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
Moses is the only one to die and whose BODY went to heaven. The thief next to Jesus at the crucifixion went to heaven BUT THE THIEF'S BODY DID NOT. This is not the case with Moses. WHY?
It starts with why Satan wanted the body of Moses: ...because Moses like ALL men had sinned therefore ...by GOD'S OWN WORD he (Moses) is NOT WORTHY ...not worthy to enter (God's) heaven; what is true of Satan must ...be true for Moses! WHY DIDN'T GOD ALLOW SATAN TO HAVE THE BODY OF MOSES?? ...because of GOD'S OWN WORD. ...when GOD said to Moses "Lead my people into the promised land" ...Does this include Moses? OF COURSE IT DOES! GOD SAID IT! ...Once again, where is the Mount of Transfigurantion? ...my oh my, IT IS IN THE PROMISED LAND!

One more point...notice that there are two people appearing... just as there is in Revelation with the Two Witnesses. For more info on this READ: Who are the Two Witnesses?
3. "...let us put up 3 tabernacles..."
Let us divide the people into THREE GROUPS.
ISAIAH 19:25
whom the LORD of hosts shall bless,saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
Group #1: Egypt = "My people" = Gentiles Group #2: Assyria ="Work of My hands" = Heathen Group #3: Israel = "My inheritance" = Jews
PART #1:
"The Great Mystery of Jesus and His Church"
Ephesians 5:32
Group #1: EGYPT = "MY PEOPLE" = GENTILES
ISAIAH 19:25
whom the LORD of hosts shall bless,saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
Gentiles = The Lost Tribes led by the Sons of Joseph
LED BY THE TWO SONS OF JOSEPH THE TWO SONS BEING:
EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH THESE TWO HEAD THE NORTHERN KINGDOMS {WHERE THE LOST TRIBES ARE NOT IN THE TERRITORY OF "MY PEOPLE"} They are in the territory of THAT place which is USA, Britain, etc.
as told in
Hosea 1:10
"Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot
be measured or counted. In the {THAT} place where it was said to them,
'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.' --- These are the tribes whom God divorced --- (For more info READ: The Divorce: A Warning to the Church)
--- These are the tribes born in Egypt who are Joseph's sons ---
They are the "Caucasians" as they come through the Caucasus mountains
( For more info READ: Who are the Lost Tribes? )
--- Who become the USA and Great Britain --- The ones who read "left to right" unlike the Jews who read "right to left" For this is the path of the Gospels: 1st to the Jew (right to left)
THEN to the Gentiles (left to right)
as they spread the Gospels to the world.
EGYPT: "MY PEOPLE" = Gentiles = who are the DIVORCED PEOPLE; with the crucifixion/death of Jesus are NOW free to "marry" again as the ressurerected Jesus is a NEW person. Showing us that "BORN AGAIN" is becoming a NEW creation and that we are now able to enjoy the NEW wine...remember...placing NEW wine into OLD wineskins will make us "burst"!
EGYPT (The Gentiles) FULFILLS HOSEA 1:10 and HOSEA 2:23
Hosea 1:10
"Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot
be measured or counted. In the {THAT} place where it was said to them,
'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'
Hosea 2:23
I will plant her for myself in the land;
I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one.'
I will say to those called 'Not my people,' 'You are my people';
and they will say, 'You are my God.' "
EGYPT = "MY PEOPLE' = GENTILES ...they are the Samarians ...they are the "Conan" barbarians ...they are the Anglo-Saxons, Celts, etc.
...they are the Prodigal Son ...the prodigal son in the parable are like the Lost Tribes! "HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR..."
PART #2: "The Great Mystery of Jesus and His Church" Ephesians 5:32
Group #2: ASSYRIA = "MY HANDIWORK" = HEATHEN
ISAIAH 19:25
whom the LORD of hosts shall bless,saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
HEATHENS ARE THOSE NOT BORN OF JACOB.
ASSYRIA = "MY HANDIWORK" "I AM not going to exclude a foreigner from My people" (interpreted Isaiah 56:3)
ASSYRIA = THE REST OF THE WORLD
ASSYRIA = THOSE NOT BORN OF JACOB ASSYRIA = THOSE WHO WERE NEVER GOD'S CHOSEN HOW CAN THIS BE? DOESN'T GOD LOVE ALL HIS CHILDREN?
EXODUS 12:49
The same law applies to the native-born and
to the STRANGER living among you." AN ALIEN WHO LIVES AMONG THE WORLD (LIVES IN JESUS) MUST BE COUNTED AS NATIVE BORN! BY LIVING IN JESUS, THEY ARE COUNTED NOT AS ALIENS BUT COUNTED AS "MY PEOPLE" "HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR..."
PART # 3
"The Great Mystery of Jesus and His Church" Ephesians 5:32
Group #3: ISRAEL = "MY INHERITANCE" = THE JEWS
Isaiah 19:25
whom the LORD of hosts shall bless,saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
THE GLORY OF ZION
Isaiah 60:22
A little one shall become a thousand,
And a small one a strong nation.
I, the LORD, will hasten it in its time.”
Israel = My Inheritance = The Jews ...who are the Southern Kingdom ...who are the tribes of Benjamin and Judah
Hosea 1:10-11
“ Yet the number of the children of Israel
Shall be as the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered.
And it shall come to pass
In the {or THAT {NIV}} place where it was said to them,
‘ You are not My people,’
There it shall be said to them,
‘ You are sons of the living God.’
Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel
Shall be gathered together,
And appoint for themselves one head;
And they shall come up out of the land,
For great will be the day of Jezreel!
...they are the other whore"ing" sister
Ezekial 23:1-5
The word of the LORD came again to me, saying: “ Son of man, there were two women, The daughters of one mother. They committed harlotry in Egypt, They committed harlotry in their youth; Their breasts were there embraced, Their names: Oholah the elder and Oholibah her sister; They were Mine, And they bore sons and daughters. As for their names,Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem is Oholibah.
...the one's who God did NOT divorce ...the one's who did NOT intermarry ...who only married Jews in captivity and not the heathens or Gentiles ...the one's who kept the bloodlines open ...the one's whose bloodlines Jesus entered the world through ...they are the older son in the parable of the prodigal son who
refuses to go into the party...they refuse to go into the kingdom of God.
During the 3 years of Jesus' ministry...Jesus says
"WAIT!" one more year (the milennium) and if they don't bear
fruit...then the tree will be cut down. (Parable of the fig tree) THE JEWS ARE: ...today the nation of Israel ...the Southern Kingdom ...the tribes of Judah and Benjamin
"HE WHO HAS AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR..." ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. "...cloud overshadowed..." As the clouds hide Jesus from the Earth Jesus comes through the clouds to take His people
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
5. "...suddenly a voice came out of the cloud.."
THE RAPTURE. THE DISCIPLES SEE NO ONE BUT JESUS...MOSES
AND ELIJAH ARE SUDDENLY GONE!
Moses and Elijah are suddenly gone! Moses, the man who died and whose body went to heaven represents the dead in Christ. Elijah, is one of two men who has never died. He also rises and represents those who are alive at the time of the Rapture and are in Christ. This is the point of the Rapture...and those who choose to be with Jesus will be saved.
6. "...Son of man is risen from the dead..."
As mankind rises from the dead: THERE ARE THOSE ALREADY DEAD IN CHRIST---MOSES THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE ALIVE AND CHOOSE TO BE IN JESUS---ELIJAH
7."...why must Elijah come first?" Malachi 4:4-5
“ Remember the Law of Moses, My servant,
Which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel,
With the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD.
Question: Why must Elijah come first?
Answer: To bring the message to a hard headed people. Question: Why use John the Baptist instead of Elijah? Answer: The people will do what they want. Since they do what they want: 1st - They will kill John the Baptist 2nd - They will kill Jesus 3rd - As one of the 2 witnesses (future) they will kill Elijah and Enoch!
8. "...the Son of Man is about to suffer..."
Now man will suffer! THE GREAT TRIBULATION.
9. "...Elijah has come already..." And mankind has killed him.
10."...but did to him whatever they wished!" Mankind has done what they wanted! JUST AS IT IS WRITTEN! In conclusion.... Remember the timeline found inside the Pyramid of Giza at the beginning of this paper?
1996 was the year given earlier and Jesus left this earth at 33 years old.... 1996 + 33 = 2029...? Is this a year we need to watch for?
