Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Mat 17:4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Mat 17:5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Mat 17:6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Mat 17:7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Mat 17:8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Mat 17:9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Jesus took the three up a mountain, and there appeared Moses and Elias, and they talked with Jesus. Both Moses and Elias lived many years before this three disciples. How did they know it was Moses and Elias? Maybe Jesus called or greeted them by name. But in what shape did they appear? In the same bodily shape they had when they were living on earth? The Bible does not say they were also in a figure that had a face that did shine as the sun. They did not walk up the mountain, and while Peter spoke a bright cloud overshadowed them, and they fell on their face, when they heard God speak. When they lifted up their eyes they saw no man. So Moses and Elias went as they came. Like ghosts?
What shape or body was Elias and Moses clothed with. Were they still in their flesh?
There is one verse in the Bible that says God can even PRESERVE our bodies, until Jesus returns. 1Th_5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Were Moses and Elias clothed in blameless bodies, blameless spirits and blameless souls? Or did they have the same body Jesus had AFTER He was resurrected? One that Mary was not allowed to touch, before He went to the Father? This body of Jesus could move through walls. It also disappeared from peoples presence. Like the wind? When Jesus said everyone born of the Spirit will be like the wind, Is it this sudden disappearance of the body that makes it like the wind? Philip also disappeared from the Enoch. Jesus from the Emmaus men, and here Moses and Elias appeared and disappeared, and they were supposed to be dead!
I know all things are possible for God, but God gave us this so we can understand that a transformed man of God is NOT a normal man. God says when HIS Spirit comes into a man, that Spirit quickeneth the body... Joh_5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
Then Jesus says this..... Joh_6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing:... This means the flesh will not gain everlasting life, but that it can gain unto the coming of the son, THEN it will be replaced by the body that we will clothe forever.
