The Transfiguration: a Preview of the Preview
Update: 2024-08-06
Description
A meditation preached at Ernescliff College on the feast of the Transfiguration, August 6, 2024.
In the Old testament the prophet Daniel had a vision that foreshadowed the transfiguration: Thrones were set in place
and one of great age took his seat.
His robe was white as snow,
the hair of his head as pure as wool. (Daniel 7, 9-10).
The Transfiguration scene can help us consider what Heaven will be like. In it, some men - Peter, John and James - have an anticipated vision of the glory of God.
Music: Abide With Me by Henry F. Lyte, 1847, internet archive: Fox Aeternum.
