"미리 맛보는 그리스도의 영광"
* Main Idea:
Jesus commands the three to tell no one what they have seen, since they lack the resources to assimilate the revelation (v. 9). Nonetheless, they begin to grasp certain elements (vv. 10–13).
1. 관찰/해석
μεταμορφόομαιb: to take on a different physical form or appearance—‘to change in appearance.’
7.9 σκηνήa, ῆς f: a portable dwelling of cloth and/or skins, held up by poles and fastened by cords to stakes—‘tent.’ ἐν σκηναῖς κατοικήσας μετὰ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακώβ ‘he lived in tents with Isaac and Jacob’ He 11:9. In a number of languages ‘tent’ is simply ‘a house made of cloth.’ One should avoid terms which would imply a military tent or a temporary shelter used only on vacations or holidays. In OT times such tents were permanent dwellings of nomadic groups and were moved from place to place as livestock were transferred from one pasture area to another.
here for a few moments some of those who were with Jesus then ‘saw’ Jesus’ kingly glory.
Jesus pointed out that the real fulfilment of that prophecy had already taken place in the preaching, and the suffering, of John the Baptist.
On the mountain, Moses and Elijah appear and speak to Jesus. Both men are major actors in redemptive history, but they denote more together than they do separately. First, they represent the Law and the Prophets. Second, both had epochshaping roles. Moses led Israel out of Egypt and into nationhood. Elijah worked for renewal when much of Israel succumbed to idolatry with Baal. Third, both had an unusual “exodus” or departure from this world. Moses died alone with God on a mountain, and God took Elijah to heaven on a chariot of fire. Fourth, both had singular revelations from God. Finally, both were forerunners of the Christ.
Jesus’ superiority to Moses continues Matthew’s “Jesus is greater than” theme. He is greater than Adam and Israel in faithfulness (4:1–11), greater than the scribes and Pharisees in righteousness (5:17–6:18), greater than John the Baptist (11:11–15), greater than the temple (12:3–6), and greater than Jonah (12:41) and Solomon (12:42). John and Hebrews concur. John writes of how Jesus is greater than Jacob, John the Baptist, and Abraham (John 4:12–14; 5:33–36; 8:53–58). Hebrews 1–12 continually presents the superiority of Jesus to prophets, angels, Moses, priests, and heroes of the faith.
