Text of the page (random words):
s at mount sinai friedeman asserts that in light of both old testament theophanies the transfiguration must be considered a theophany in which jesus manifests his divinity 39 the connection between the mount sinai horeb theophanies of both moses and elijah and their presence at the transfiguration is also made by the new american bible 40 the real presence of moses and elijah on the mount is rejected by those churches and individuals who believe in soul sleep christian mortalism until resurrection several commentators have noted that the gospel of matthew describes the transfiguration using the greek word horama matthew 17 9 according to thayer more often used for a supernatural vision than for real physical events a and conclude that moses and elijah were not truly there 41 in lds doctrine moses and elijah ministered to christ as spirits of just men made perfect doctrine and covenants 129 1 3 see also hebrews 12 23 location of the mountain edit main article mount of the transfiguration the franciscan church of the transfiguration on mount tabor in israel mount tabor is traditionally identified as the mount of transfiguration none of the accounts identify the high mountain of the scene by name since the 3rd century some christians have identified mount tabor as the site of the transfiguration including origen 42 referencing ps 89 12 tabor has long been a place of christian pilgrimage and is the site of the church of the transfiguration in 1868 henry alford cast doubt on tabor due to the possible continuing roman use of a fortress which antiochus the great built on tabor in 219 bc 43 others have countered that even if tabor was fortified by antiochus this does not rule out a transfiguration at the summit 44 josephus mentions in the jewish war that he built a wall along the top perimeter in 40 days and he does not mention any previously existing structures 45 46 john lightfoot rejects tabor as too far but some mountain near caesarea philippi 47 the usual candidate in this case is mount hermon situated at the source of the jordan near the foot of which caesarea philippi was built william hendriksen in his commentary on matthew 1973 favours mount meron 48 whittaker 1984 proposes that it was mount nebo primarily on the basis that it was the location where moses viewed the promised land and a parallelism in jesus words on descent from the mountain of transfiguration you will say to this mountain i e of transfiguration move from here to there i e the promised land and it will move and nothing will be impossible for you france 1987 notes that mount hermon is closest to caesarea philippi mentioned in the previous chapter of matthew likewise meyboom 1861 identifies djebel ejeik b but this may be a confusion with jabal el sheikh the arabic name for mount hermon edward greswell however writing in 1830 saw no good reason for questioning the ancient ecclesiastical tradition which supposes it to have been mount tabor 49 an alternative explanation is to understand the mount of transfiguration as symbolic topography in the gospels as elizabeth struthers malbon notes the mountain is figuratively the meeting place between god and humans 50 feast and commemorations edit first fruits brought to be blessed on the feast of the transfiguration japanese orthodox church various christian denominations celebrate the feast of the transfiguration the origins of the feast remain uncertain it may have derived from the dedication of three basilicas on mount tabor 26 the feast existed in various forms by the 9th century in the 15th century pope callixtus iii made it a universal feast celebrated on august 6 to commemorate the lifting of the siege of belgrade 51 in july 1456 the syriac orthodox indian orthodox and revised julian calendars within the eastern orthodox roman catholic old catholic and anglican churches mark the feast of the transfiguration on august 6 in those orthodox churches which continue to follow the julian calendar august 6 in the church calendar falls on august 19 in the civil gregorian calendar transfiguration ranks as a major feast numbered among the twelve great feasts in the byzantine rite in all these churches if the feast falls on a sunday its liturgy is not combined with the sunday liturgy but replaces it in some liturgical calendars e g the lutheran and united methodist the last sunday in the epiphany season is also devoted to this event in the church of sweden and the evangelical lutheran church of finland however the feast is celebrated on the seventh sunday after trinity the eighth sunday after pentecost in the roman rite the gospel pericope of the transfiguration is read on the second sunday of lent the liturgy emphasizes the role the transfiguration had in comforting the twelve apostles giving them both a powerful proof of christ s divinity and a prelude to the glory of the resurrection on easter and the eventual salvation of his followers in view of
