Transfiguration of Jesus Christ

The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event reported by the Synoptic Gospels in which Jesus is transfigured upon a mountain (Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28-36). Jesus becomes radiant, speaks with Moses and Elijah, and is called "Son" by God. The transfiguration put Jesus above Moses and Elijah, the two preeminent figures of Judaism.

It also supports his identity as the Son of God. In keeping with the Messianic secret, Jesus tells the witnesses (Saint Peter, James, son of Zebedee and John the Apostle) not to tell others what they saw until He has risen on the third day after his death on the cross.

The principal account is that in the Synoptic Gospels; 2 Peter and the Gospel of John may also briefly allude to the event (2 Peter 1:16-18, John 1:14). Peter describes himself as an eyewitness "of his sovereign majesty." None of the accounts identifies the "high mountain" of the scene by name.

The earliest identification of the mountain as Mount Tabor is in the 5th century Transitus Beatae Mariae Virginis. RT France notes that Mount Hermon is closest to Caesarea Philippi, mentioned in the previous chapter of Matthew.

Jungle Justice - Papua New Guinea

It is mind boggling to see that our natural resources are being exploited by foreigners. Foreigners see that Papua New Guinea is being run by corrupt leaders and that they can bribe anybody to do business here so long as they have the money. This is a sickening situation and needs immediate attention from the government.

Our population in the rural areas are illiterate and can easily be manipulated by foreigners - who have vast hidden motives and some may not even speak English at all. When we all resort to corruption and bribery, our natural resources will quickly vanish in a twinkle of an eye.

In Western Province, landowners are being manipulated by those in government with hidden agendas where nobody knows what's happening each day at all corners of Papua New Guinea.

The following video is mind boggling and will make you sick when you see this unfold right under the nose of the government of the independent state of Papua New Guinea. Click here to see the video.
