I know in John 1:18 it says no man hath seen God at any time but in Exodus 33:20 and Exodus 24:10 God let Moses see his back parts as He passed and in 24:10 - 11 Moses, Aaron, Nadab Abihu and seventy of the elders of Israel saw God.
Does Elijah have to do because of the contest on Mount Carmel with the prophets of Baal and they couldn't get their god to burn the bullocks and how he set up the altar to God and put the bullock on it and poured water on it three times and then fire from the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice. Then he had all the prophets of Baal killed.

Think about why they came to speak to Jesus, can you guess what they may have been talking about if you can maybe that would be enough to give you a clue. And if you can figure out the content of the conversation then think what possible reason could it be why these particular men were the ones there. What did they represent? Was the timing of their arrival so close to Jesus death of significance perhaps come on John think? Good Books to read are 2 Kings & John

[John]

I'm thinking and praying are you kidding. I'm loving this and will get it. But now come on you telling me you got this the first time your minister posed this to you or did he just give you congreation the answers. LOL Much love and I hope when this is done you continue with the quizzes.

[John]

Praise the Lord Sister Angela.

Ok my final answer for Moses and Elijah.
#1 Moses and Elijah had stood before the Lord before He came to us as Jesus meaning when both were taken up whether by death as Moses or by chariot as Elijah they were both in glory before the Lord. I believe Moses and Elijah spoke with Jesus to comfort Him and get him prepared for what He was going to do for us.

#2 Elijah said to men in 2Kings 1 if I be a man of God then let fire come from heaven and consume you and your fifty men. He did this twice. Moses had met with our Lord on Mt Sinai and received the law of the tablets and the law was given by Moses but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Moses wrote of Jesus Christ.

#3 The cross of Jesus is of self-sacrifice and suffering for what is right. Jesus is the way to Heaven and we must know and believe He died on the cross for us so we can live in Him.

[Angela Doreen]

As you said this is your final answer I will reveal the answer I gave my Pastor.

Q1.Why was it Moses and Elijah rather than anyone else that Jesus met while walking with three of his disciples? Q2.What was the action or incidents that occur that justify your answer?

Both Moses and Elijah were the ones there because they represented what was about to happen to Jesus. Moses represented the death of Christ and Elijah represented the resurrection of Christ.

In the wilderness Moses experience Christ sufferings when he lifted the serpent. 'Just as Moses lifted the serpent so must the son of man be lifted.’ John 3:14. When Jesus was nailed he was then lifted up to die. So Moses represented the death Christ was to suffer and Elijah who was swept up to heaven therefore representing the resurrection. 2 King 2:11

There are many people in the bible that walked in righteousness, many that were prophet but no other person other than these two men experience Christ's death or resurrection.


Q. What symbolic representation is there with the cross (shape) in terms of us, earth, heaven and Jesus?

The cross is comprised of two "beams" horizontal, which represents relationship between mankind here on earth and vertical, which represents relationship between God in heaven and mankind here on earth. Jesus became the "bridge" between the two that connected us together. Before Jesus, there was disconnection. When they crucified Jesus and stretched his hands the gulf was bridged allowing us to reach God through Jesus.

[John]

Thank you for this. You know I looked at Moses with the serpent in the wilderness and almost made a comment on it. Thank you for the lesson.

And John just in case anyone said but why wasn't Enoch instead of Elijah The answer is this the Bible clearly state that Elijah was taken into Heaven the same reference was not made about Enoch.

2 Kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind INTO heaven.)

no such reference is made that Enoch went into heaven the bilbe simple said God took him as stated in:Gen 5: 21-24

21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methu'selah:
22 and Enoch walked with God after he begat Methu'selah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
23 and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
24 and Enoch Heb. 11.5 walked with God: and he was not; for God took him

[RevZ]

1. Why was it Moses and Elijah rather than anyone else that Jesus met while walking with three of his disciples?
Moses and Elijah went to heaven bodily and are considered special prophets and Hebrew leaders and expected messiahs to come. Jesus meeting them changes their status and gives Jesus The Messiah status.

PLEASE NOTE IF YOU ANSWER Q1. THEN Q2. BECOMES COMPULSORY THEREFORE YOU MUST ANSWER Q2.

2. What was the action or incidents in the bible either old or new testament that occur that justify your answer to Q1 above?
YHWH Himself buried him in an unknown grave (Deut. xxxiv.). Moses was thus the human instrument in the creation of the Israelite nation……..for "there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face" (Deut. xxxiv. 10).

2. What symbolic representation would say the cross (shape) holds to you in terms of us (man), earth, heaven and Jesus? (answers on this one could be subjective to the individual but we see how this one goes)
The cross bar is man relationship to man, and the upright bar is our connection to God.

3. Which woman having been denied her right under the Levirate Law as promise to her was left no choice but to disguise herself in order to become a mother?
It is Genesis 38 which shows that originally the widow had right only to a descendent, not marriage. Tamar doesn't marry Onan, nor is that her intent with Judah (Westermann, 52). When Tamar's pregnancy is discovered and Judah shown to be the father, this unusual adherence to the levirate law takes precedence over an incest law (Niditch, 148). While the commentators sometimes speak of the levirate custom as "law", it should be noted that this time period was long before the formal giving of the law at Sinai. (http://www.theropps.com/papers/Winter1997/Genesis38exegesis.htm)

4. What is the name of the woman or women who changes the face of Jewish law in winning a great victory by demanding rights of property through the right of inheritance where there are no male children?
(Num. 26:33 27:3, Josh. 17:3.

Thank you for some different bible reading and knowledge increase.
Happy a sistah rolls with increasing faith by increasing the word in our hearts.
