The location of the action is the Pan Temple at the base of Mt Hermon which had one of the three springs that fed the Jordan River. The water gushed with such force it was thought to be fed by the River Styx itself.
Worship of the god Pan was done by sexual excitement. And the place had the reputation of being the world's largest outdoor orgy.
Also, this action happened just weeks before Jesus's crucifixion. If Peter didn't know by this point that Jesus was the Messiah he would have had severe short term memory loss....because he obviously recognized Jesus as being such for a long time already....even asked for a seat at his right hand. So the Revelation that Jesus was the Son of God was not a new one.
So....
Let's try again with these obvious observations and see what is or is not being discussed within the passages.
