Shekinah and Transfiguration
The Shekinah of God is a theme that has gripped me lately. The images of the trembling mountain the smoke and fire, and the speaking Voice rolling through eternity set me to awe.
It is this awe that greets the disciples on the mount of transfiguration. It meets Elisha on the day his master is snatched away.
The psalmist declares "Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth,” and again, "The heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah”

Paul tells us, "it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
We are invited to look – to gaze upon this blazing glory of God. Elisha is promised that if his eyes behold it, he would receive the portion he desires.
“And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.” Those who will not give up, but will follow on will see. The inner circle on the mount of transfiguration saw Jesus, Elijah and Moses in glory. The speaking, creative voice rolled over them, saying that the glory was Jesus’ His Son. "Our God comes and does not keep silence, before him is a devouring fire, and a mighty tempest all around him."
Paul declares the good news of the gospel story. This Christ who is seen in bright and terrible holiness has shone in our hearts!
Hallelujah
