@TNTJohn1717 Jeremiah 9:23-24
Thus saith the Lord,
Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me that I Am the Lord
@TNTJohn1717 On Guard your heart chart, the "it can be wrong" verse should be 1 Corinthians 2:5 instead of Romans 14:22. Thank you for making this bible chart! I'm enjoying it very much!
@TNTJohn1717 But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Godin Christ Jesus.

Why Did Moses and Elijah Appear With Jesus in Matthew 17? The Truth About the Transfiguration, the Law, the Prophets, and the Kingdom
The Transfiguration is one of those passages that immediately tells you whether a man is going to let the Bible teach him or whether he is going to drag the Bible into some private theory and make it serve his imagination. Matthew 17 is not there to entertain people with mystical fog, science-fiction speculation, or half-baked ideas about timeline hopping. It is there to reveal Jesus Christ. That is the first rule. If a man comes to the passage and comes away more impressed with Moses, Elijah, prophetic riddles, dimensional travel, or internet video theories than he is with the glory of the Son of God, he has already missed the center of the chapter. The Father did not interrupt Peter on that mountain so people could build side theories for clicks. The Father interrupted Peter to say, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him” (Matt. 17:5). That is the point around which the whole event turns.
Now that does not mean the details do not matter. They matter a great deal. The question of why Moses and Elijah appear is an important one. The fact that they appear with Christ is not random. The fact that one died and was buried by the Lord, while the other never died but was taken up, is not random. The fact that Luke says they “spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem” (Luke 9:31) is not random. The fact that the event takes place in glory before three chosen disciples is not random. The fact that Peter later calls it a preview of “the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Pet. 1:16) is not random. Everything in the account is packed with doctrinal, prophetic, and dispensational weight. But the weight is biblical weight, not imaginative weight. You do not need to invent a timeline machine when the Holy Ghost has already told you what the event is about.
The safest and strongest way to approach this passage is to let Scripture interpret Scripture. Moses and Elijah appear with Jesus in glory. The disciples see a preview of kingdom manifestation. The Father exalts the Son above all other voices. The Law and the Prophets stand there, but they do not remain the center. “When they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only” (Matt. 17:8). That is the mountain-top lesson. Moses matters, Elijah matters, prophecy matters, Scripture matters, but Christ is above them all. So if someone asks whether Jesus was talking to Moses in his Exodus 19 timeline and to Elijah in his 1 Kings 19 timeline, the answer is that the Bible does not say that, and the event does not need that theory to make sense. What the Bible does say is strong enough. Moses and Elijah appeared with Him in glory, spoke of His coming death, and together they formed part of a revelation that pointed to Christ’s supremacy and the certainty of His coming kingdom.
1. The Transfiguration Is First About the Glory of Jesus Christ
The first thing to settle is that Matthew 17 is not primarily a Moses passage or an Elijah passage. It is a Christ passage. “And was transfigured before them:and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light” (Matt. 17:2). The center of the event is not two men from the Old Testament showing up for a cameo. The center is the unveiled glory of the Son of God in a form the disciples could bear for a moment. What they saw on that mountain was not Christ becoming something He had never been. They saw a temporary manifestation of what had always been true in His Person, glory that had been veiled in His humiliation and now flashed forth before chosen witnesses. The point is not that Moses and Elijah are spectacular. The point is that Jesus Christ is.
That is why Peter later interprets the event the way he does. He says, “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and
@javajane @Shepfortheking I will pray. God is greater than any circumstance. He will deliver you. Cry to Him, He is near to the weak and brokenhearted. He is Your provider and husband. He will never leave you or forsake you.���💓
I want to remind everyone Satan is the god of this world. He wants every man woman and child to go to hell with him.
He wants every human being NOT believing in the Bible or in God.
NASA tells us sunrises and sunsets are due to the earth moving-not the sun.
The Bible says they are due to the sun moving.
NASA tells us we can land on the moon.
The Bible tells us it is a light that is fixed in the firmament.
NASA tells us the earth is spinning on its axis and hurling through space at millions of miles per hour.
The Bible tells us the earth is stationary and “cannot be moved”.
So who are you going to believe?
At some point you have to realize that Satan has lied to us about EVERYTHING.
And I mean EVERYTHING.
If we went to the moon- why haven’t we been back?
They said we “lost” the technology… do you really believe that?
Elon “jokes” that his rockets are trying to break through the firmament.
Maybe, just maybe, he’s telling the truth.
@Shepfortheking The enemy also hates saints who stay thankful to the Lord in all circumstances. I've also found when the enemy gives you mental scenarios to ponder; that telling him thank you, Now I know what to talk only to the Lord about. At this point, I tell the enemy that he can flee now
Along with Trump saying “something’s going to happen very soon” with Iran-
It’s almost like they know.
Almost like we’re watching a script play out.
Keep your eyes on Jesus friends as everything else starts to get set into motion for the tribulation to start.
They want their “utopia” years where their system is in place to monitor every human-hybrid that is connected to their “grid”.
Look up what cryptocurrency really is- look up the Google patent and read the description.
Particularly the last half.
It’s all being set up and everything that happens is apart of the movie.
Palantir is owned by Peter Thiel and Peter Thiel's largest single donation ever was to a man running for senator by the name of JD Vance. JD Vance was a Yale law student who Peter Thiel placed into a biotech firm and other VC's for some reason. And then JD Vance became a politician only two years ago and suddenly he's the vice president. So actually none of this is real. Trump is extorted. Vance is CIA. Palantir is a front for the Mossad.
