A Mount of Transfiguration observation –
It is often noted that in the Transfiguration of Jesus on the holy mount that Moses is a representative of the Law and Elijah of the Prophets, both bearing witness to the Son of God. The Hebrew breakdown of what Christian now call the Old Testament was referred to as the TaNaK (Torah-Law, N’viim-Prophets, K’tuvim-the Writings or the Psalms). Jesus even referred to this distinction or summary in his lesson on the road to Emmaus (not mentioning the K’tuvim in this section), and also just following this account where he manifests himself to his disciples saying, ““These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
If we were to extend the observation of Moses and Elijah on the holy mount as representatives of the Tanak, we could point to Jesus as the representative of the Psalms, the Writings, indeed he is the very Word of God. “In the past God spoke to our forefathers in many and various ways but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power” (Heb.1.1-3). On the holy mount where the majesty of Jesus was revealed, the fulness of God’s word was manifested.
