The Syriac Father Jacob of Serug describes the Transfiguration as "the passing of “the keys” of authority from Moses and Elijah to Peter and the Apostles of Jesus. In the Transfiguration the work of Moses and Elijah is honored but it is also done, now is the final age and the totality of truth for which they had laboured and awaited, and now the keys are given to the Apostolic Church to proclaim the glory of Jesus Christ and the salvation won by him."
