Jesus & Moses
Stephen M. Miller in his recent book entitled, 'The Jesus of the Bible'* points out that Jesus' transfiguration and Moses visit with God on Mount Sinai share strong similarities. Some Bible scholars say Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John intentionally portrayed Jesus as the 'new Moses', the provider of the new law or covenant.
Miller goes on to list the similarities in a chart in his book. To see them, grab your Bible and look up the references listed below and see if you agree:
Entourage on the Mountain - Exodus 24:1 & Mark 9:2
The 'Shining' - Exodus 34:29 & Matthew 17:2
God in a Cloud - Exodus 24:15-16 & Luke 9:34-35
* A very good addition to your personal library
Shalom.
