The Amazing Transfiguration

Of

Jesus Christ

By

The Twelve Apostles

Visits To Heaven

And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” Mark 9:1

It is possible for a person to visit heaven, while he is still on earth.

And many people visited heaven before they died, as written in the holy book.

Examples are Moses, Elijah, Enoch and Apostle John.

That is how and why Elijah knew that heaven is a place far better than the earth and decided to leave the earth by the chariots of fire.

The Transfiguration
For seven days the Master and the twelve remained in Caesarea-Philippi. Then Jesus, with the disciples, went forth to a mountain top to pray. And as He prayed, He was transfigured and a brilliant light appeared. His form became as radiant as a precious stone. His face shone like the sun. His garments became as white as snow. The son of man became the son of God, as God Almighty Himself. He was transfigured that humanity might see the divine possibilities of man.

When first the glory came, the disciples were asleep. And Archangel Michael touched their eyes and said, “Awake and see the glory of the Lord.” And they awoke, and saw the glory of the Lord. And more, they saw the glory of the heavenly world, for they beheld two men who stood beside the Lord. And Peter asked the Archangel who awakened them, “Who are these men who stand beside the Lord?
The Archangel said, “These men are Holy Moses and Prophet Elijah, who are come that you may know that heaven and earth are one; that the Angels in heaven and the children of God here on earth are one. The veil that separates the worlds is but an ether veil. For those who purify their hearts by faith, the veil is rolled aside, and they can see and know that death is an illusive thing.”

And Peter said, “Praise God!” And then he called to Jesus and said, “My Master and my Lord, this is the gate of heaven, and it is well that we remain here. May we go down and bring three tents. A tent for you, a tent for Moses, and a tent for Elijah?” But Jesus answered not.

Holy Moses and Prophet Elijah talked with Jesus on the mountain. They talked about the coming trial of the Lord, about His death, about His rest within the tomb, about the wonders of the resurrection morning, about the transmutation of His flesh, and about His ascension on the clouds of light. They also talked about the symbolic path that every man must tread. Symbolic of the way by which the sons of men become the sons of God. For the earth is God’s own school, and all the children of God have being sent down to this earth for them to learn how to live in heaven. This is main purpose of education and training.

The disciples were amazed, and suddenly the ethers were surcharged with song, and forms as light as air moved all about the mountain top – the presence of the Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven, singing. And then from out the heavenly glory, they heard a voice that said, “This is my beloved son of man, with whom I am well pleased. He is the Lord and Saviour, chosen to manifest the Christ to humanity. Let all the earth hear Him.”

When the disciples heard the voice, they were afraid. They fell upon the ground and prayed, meaning that they worshiped the Lord and Saviour. In spirit and in heaven, reverence of the FirstSon of God is automatic – spontaneous, immediately. And Jesus came, touched them and said, “Arise, fear not. Behold, I am here.” Then they arose, and as they looked about, they saw no one but Jesus Christ. The heavenly beings had gone. Only the Master stood with them.

Many records in which writers stated that Jesus moved with some disciples are not true. For example, concerning the transfiguration, several authors have stated that it was only Simon Peter, James and John that witnessed the transfiguration. But the Twelve Apostles says that all the Apostles and Disciples were present during the transfiguration and all of them witnessed the incident.

As Jesus and the apostles and disciples came down from the mountain top, they talked about the meaning of the transfiguration incident, and Jesus told them all. And Jesus told them once again about His death, about His rising from the grave, and about the kingdom of the soul that was to come in glory and in power.
But Peter said, “The Scribes have taught that before the king shall come, Elijah must appear.”
And Jesus answered, “Elijah has already come, but the Scribes and Pharisees received him not. And men reviled him, bound him, cast him into a prison cell, and shouted with a wicked delight to see him die. What men have done to him, that they will do to me.” Then the disciples understood that Jesus spoke about St John De Baptist, who was slain by Herod.

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them, and his garments became glistening, intensely white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Eli′jah with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is well that we are here; let us make three booths, one for you and one for Moses and one for Eli′jah.” For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid. 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 any one with them but Jesus only. Mark 9:2-8

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!" And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. But Jesus came and touched them and said, "Arise, and do not be afraid." When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

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." Matthew 17:5-9

The Manifest God

While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were fearful as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" Luke 9:34,35

It was God Almighty that appear in the cloud. The disciples could n see God face to face, because they were not yet spiritually developed enough to see God.

They Worshipped God

And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid. Matthew 17:6

They did not fell on their faces. They worshipped God Almighty, Yahweh. It is a law in spirit that once you stand in the presence of God, you worship Him. The saints do this both voluntarily and involuntarily. If you see God with your eyes, yourself will be so pleased to bow down to God, that you will not even know when you bow down. You will just see yourself worshipping God, because of His great and wonderful power and glory.

The Coming Of Elijah

And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Eli′jah must come?” And He said to them, “Eli′jah 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 Eli′jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.” Mark 9:9-13

Explanations:

People deceive themselves, because they fail to see the spiritual side of every thing, and therefore miss very important opportunities.

Things of spirit are not seen or understood with the physical eyes, but with the spiritual eye.

Unfortunately, many do not know that they have spiritual eye, and they do not know how to open it and keep it functioning.

The study of Spiritual Science is both good and compulsory, for people to be able to understand and interpret the spiritual realities of life.

On The Visits To Heaven

And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.” Mark 9:1

Apostle Matthew: What does that mean?

The Head: Some of the apostles visited heaven, before they died, just as Enoch and Holy Moses visited heaven. People visit heaven by astral travel. Either Archangel Jehuco, the captain of the chariots of fire, or Archangel Tarch, or other Angels came and took such people to heaven and showed them various places and realities. Also, at the time of transfiguration, it was the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven – the radiance. It was the same kingdom of heaven that was in the world at the time.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself explained it very well.

Apostle Matthew: But why should the bible authors just write about the transfiguration the way they did?

They supposed not to write it the way they did.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: They supposed to explain it very well, Jesus explained the transfiguration. But the bible authors removed many records from the holy book, and published the remaining few as the bible.

The Head: They wanted to hide the truth from humanity, so that themselves shall be controlling people.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, when Jesus was here on earth, many of us were visiting heaven – ascending and descending in spirit.

The Head: Thanks be to God.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, many of the believers were taken by Jesus, in spirit, to heaven. Those people were in heaven and also here on earth, at the same time.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Many of such people have had various promotions in heaven.

Son of man, why did the bible authors not explain all these things?

The Head: They wrote about it, but so short that many things are lacking or missing.

Apostle Matthew: Yourself have to explain it very well.

1. Many people visited heaven, in both ancient and later times.

2. Examples of such people were Enoch, Holy Moses, the apostles and disciples of Jesus Christ, Apostle John De Light who wrote the book of revelation, etc.

3. The churches, ministries and fellowships are not doing their works, because they are neither teaching their congregations how to see God nor how to visit the kingdom of heaven.

4. Astral travel is not a thing of the modern times. It has being in existence, even during the time of Adam. As people travel in a vehicle on the road, and as people travel in the air by aeroplane, or sail on the waters inside a ship, even so the children of God can visit heaven and other worlds by astral travel, through quiet time and meditation.

Astral travel

This is spiritual journey, just as people travel in their earthly life. It is possible for a person to come out of his body, travel to another place, see or do something, and then come back into his body and wake up. Even so safely. The confirmatory sign is that during sleep at night, people have dreams. Many of the dreams are not just ordinary dreams. They are real life experiences which people have when they move out their bodies to visit various places. What they call dreams are the real life experiences they had while on astral travel.

Incomplete Record

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the bible record of transfiguration is not complete.

The Meaning Of Transfiguration

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the transfiguration of Jesus, what does it mean?

The Head: Number 1, it shows that Jesus is truly the FirstSon of God.

Himself is God Almighty, both physically and spiritually, because it was God Almighty that came to the world in the person of Jesus Christ. FirstSon means the first as God Almighty.

Number 2, it shows that Jesus is the Lord and Saviour, for His followers and all those who shall welcome the Gospel of Truth and Salvation, to know that they are following the way of truth and salvation.

Number 3, it shows and demonstrates the power in a man, which power of the Holy Spirit God put inside man.

Number 4, all the things that Jesus did were examples, demonstrating the abilities and potentials in man. Jesus is a role model to all humanity.

Number 5, everybody should pray for his own transfiguration to take place. The transfiguration shall remove many fears, doubts and ignorance from the person.

Those Present At The Transfiguration

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, let myself ask you people a question.

How many people came to the mountain on that day?

The Head: Is it the number of people from heaven or from the earth?

Apostle Matthew: From heaven.

The Head: So far, the people that came down from heaven to the mountain on that day were Archangel Michael, Archangel Jehuco who is the charioteer, the captain of chariots of fire, Holy Moses, ancient prophet Elijah, and God the Father.

Apostle Matthew: How many?

The Head: Five persons. In addition, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, His apostles and disciples.

What God Said

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what did the bible authors stated that God said on that day?

The Head: God Almighty said, “This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him.”

The Importance Of The Transfiguration

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what did Holy Moses and Elijah do?

The Head: Number 1, as Holy Moses explained, he said that himself and Elijah came down, first to examine whether Jesus abided by the laws and the prophets. The two confirmed that Jesus obeyed the laws and the prophets, before the Holy Spirit came down on that day.

Number 2, both Holy Moses and Elijah came to bear witness that Jesus is indeed the FirstSon of God and that Jesus Himself is God Almighty.

Number 3, their presence proved to the world, humanity, that both Old Testament and New Testament are still relevant here on earth and in heaven. They knew that humanity shall start saying that the Old Testament is no longer necessary. By their presence, they proved that all the books of the laws and prophets are still relevant in the world. The laws and prophecy are the pillars of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, yourself answered very well.

Explanations By Archangel Michael

Apostle Matthew: What did Archangel Michael do on that day?

The Head: Number 1, I think that he came to wage war, because sometimes battles are many in the air and space, without humanity knowing it. He came with his Hosts of Angels to battle against the forces of darkness, to clear the way.

Number 2, also, it was on that day that Archangel Michael showed Holy Moses where his body was buried and preserved. Holy Moses prayed to enter the Promised Land. That day of the transfiguration was the day Holy Moses entered the Promised Land. This shows that answers to prayers may come many years afterwards. That day was the day God answered the prayer of Holy Moses.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, Archangel Michael explained to us the meaning of transfiguration.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Number 1, when ourselves saw Jesus transfigured and radiant, ourselves did not understand what was happening. Ourselves started to think, to consider and to ask questions. We had not seen such a wonderful encounter before. That was the time Archangel explained to us.

Number 2, he told us that the transfiguration of Jesus means taking the saints to heaven.

Number 3, the transfiguration took place, to make the word of God remain steadfast and radiant to all the ends of the earth, all over the world.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Number 4, to make heaven and earth to become one.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Number 5, that the will of God shall be done here on earth as it is in heaven.

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Number 6, Son of man, ourselves received special power of the Holy Spirit on that day. All the people who are making serious efforts in the presence of God, God the Father gives them special promotions. And the people who are obedient do receive greater promotions more than the other children of God.

The Audience

The Head: Which means that it was not only the three apostles – Peter, James and John - that witnessed the transfiguration?

Apostle Matthew: Yes. All of us, the apostles and disciples, saw the transfiguration.

The Head: Thanks be to God.

The Facts And Details

When the time for transfiguration came, Jesus went up the mountain, with Peter, James and John. At the same time, God sent Archangel Michael, Holy Moses and Ancient Prophet Elijah. The three were brought down to the earth, to the mountain top, in a chariot of fire. The chariot of fire was driven by Archangel Jehuco, the heaven’s charioteer, the captain of the chariots of fire. When they came down to the mountain, they found and met Jesus praying.

First, Holy Moses had to examine the earthly life of Jesus, to know and confirm that Jesus obeyed the laws of God. The examination was successful, because Jesus obeyed the laws of God, despite the several corrections He gave to the Israelites, on how to worship God in spirit and in truth.

Second, Ancient Prophet Elijah had to examine whether Jesus abided by the words of the prophets. The examination was also successful, because Jesus abided by the words of the prophets.

Immediately after the examinations and confirmations, God sent the Holy Spirit. And transfiguration took place. Jesus became transformed into His heavenly being, into the fullness of His power and glory as God Almighty, as complete and original copy of the God Almighty, the same with God Almighty, just as a flame of fire on a candle becomes another flame of fire when a second candle is brought near the first candle. Jesus became as radiant as the sun and even far more radiant. His face was full of brightness, to the extent that the three disciples could not look at His face.

The earthly environment of the mountain changed into a heavenly environment, as heaven on earth. The three disciples were filled with wonder, with peace and love, and with the Holy Spirit, which was radiating from the body of Jesus Christ. Their hearts were filled with perfect joyfulness and gladness of heart, with perfect contentment, in perfect liveliness. Their spiritual eyes were opened to see, to behold, the amazing glory standing before them. And the three, out of direct knowledge, experience and conviction, bowed down in reverence to the God Almighty that is Jesus Christ. Because of the greatness and perfection of their contentment, perfect satisfaction, Peter saw that there was no need coming back to the earth and said, “Let us build three tents here. One for you, one for Holy Moses and one for Ancient Prophet Elijah.” Peter was so pleased and satisfied, contended, that he did not even think of a shelter for himself.

During the transfiguration, God Almighty was present as the Holy Trinity: in three different manifestations as God the Almighty Father; God the Almighty Love, Jesus Christ; and God the Almighty Presence, the Holy Spirit. That was why the bible said that the cloud overshadowed them, the glory of God filled the entire mountain environment. And God said, “Behold Jesus Christ as myself, the Lord Almighty, Yahweh, the Lord of the Hosts, with whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him, obey Him and follow Him.” But this statement was translated into a simpler form, for the disciples and humanity to understand, by the saying, “This is my beloved son, myself, in whom I am well pleased…”

The power and glory of Jesus Christ, by the transfiguration, was so great and amazing that the disciples bowed down in reverence to Jesus Christ. This fact was the reason why the bible said that the three disciples fell down, face down. The bible authors used the expression, “fell down, face down,” because the bible authors have not had spiritual experiences to know the extent and realities of life in heaven.

Examination Is Compulsory

By Holy Moses

Let me tell you what you shall tell them, humanity who say that the laws and prophets are no longer relevant.

Did they not know that when the FirstSon came and completed His stay, busy working, when He was on the mountain praying?

They read it in the bible, that myself, Holy Moses, and Ancient Prophet Elijah, were standing before Jesus Christ.

Did you not read it? We read it.

You read about it? Yes, my Lord.

You read about, and humanity read about it, but they do not know the meaning. Let me tell you congregation what it means.

Do you know the meaning of that? Let us know.

When myself stood present at transfiguration, it was because God the Father asked me to stand, and examine whether the FirstSon observed all the laws, which I stated, because God said that all the laws are the way He wants all humanity living on earth to keep the commandments. But, because the FirstSon had incarnated and came down to this world, and has touched, mingled, with people, that was why God the Father asked me to come down to represent and conduct examination. My presence at the transfiguration was to examine whether the FirstSon observed all that God said. The result was that the FirstSon kept all the laws as was commanded by God.

Also, Ancient Prophet Elijah stood there present. The reason why he stood there was to examine whether all that were stated in the holy book, all the prophecies, to examine whether the FirstSon observed all. His result was that the FirstSon observed all of the prophecies.

Therefore, God the Father sent His Holy Spirit. By the time the dove came down, we had already examined and found out that the FirstSon observed all the things, all the laws, despite the fact that He was in the flesh of a human being and had stayed on this earth. He observed all the laws. He kept all the laws and even did extra. That was when the FirstSon became perfect, and God sent the Holy Spirit, to abide with Him, in the conclusion of His works.

The Reincarnation Of Elijah

But I tell you that Eli′jah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.” Mark 9:13

Elijah reincarnated, came again to live here on, as St John De Baptist. They did to him whatever they pleased by not listening to John; by not obeying his teachings, corrections and advice; and by beheading him.
