This representation of the transfiguration of Elijah, Jesus, and Moses
shows a meeting of the representatives of the three major religions that are having conflict on earth today. Elijah, shown sending out heart energy blessings, is a major figure in the Islamic Sufi tradition. Moses, holding the tablets of the Law, represents the Jewish lineage. Jesus, holding the new scroll of the Word, is the cornerstone of the Christian faith.
If these three get along so well, why can't their followers?
Maybe one answer is in the painting. The humans don't know what to make of it all and are reduced to blithering idiots. Looks as if we would have figured it out by now. WE ARE TO BE TRANSFIGURED. Those three are our role models and teachers. So how about if we quit falling and crawling and looking to build tabernacles and GET ON WITH IT!
