The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”” Exodus 19:1-6.

What major event in the Bible is associated with Mount Carmel?

Jesus fed the multitude with 5 loaves and 2 fishes

David proclaimed Jerusalem as the capital of Israel

Elijah triumphed over and eliminated the prophets of baal

Elijah raised a widow’s son from the dead

Elijah challenged Ahab to bring the prophets of baal to Mount Carmel. He asked for two bulls to be placed on wood to be sacrificed as offerings, one to baal, the other to Yahweh, the God of Israel. The true God would listen to the prayers and light the sacrifice. The prophets of baal prayed for hours, but nothing happened. Elijah prayed to the God of Israel, and almost immediately fire fell from heaven and consumed the sacrifice.

“And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.” 40 And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.” And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.” 1 Kings 18:39-40.

At the end of 150 days the waters had abated, and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.” Genesis 8:1-4.

As they were coming down the mountain, why did Jesus say, “Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead”?

The Transfiguration was a vision of Paradise to Peter, James, and John, but the fulfillment would come only after the Resurrection

It was a reflection of the humility of Jesus

Jesus did not want Peter, James, and John to be subjected to ridicule by people who would not believe them

Jesus wanted to show His greatness to Peter, James, and John, but not to the other apostles or disciples

“And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”” Matthew 17:1–9.

This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.” Acts 1:9-12.
