Meditation

In the Days of Messiah, Yeshua stands on the Mount of Transfiguration in the Land of Promise, with Peter, James, and John (Matthew 17:1)… As at Sinai, a bright cloud overshadows the witnesses and a voice calls out. It proclaims that Yeshua is God’s Son: “Tishm’u elav (Listen to Him)!” (Matthew 17:5b, Deuteronomy 18″15b). What validated Moshe as prophet now validates Yeshua.
