@Owen I came into the church Easter of 2001 after a lifetime of being Southern Baptist. It just felt like home. We are so fortunate to have men like Dr Pitre, Dr Bergsma, Scott Hahn & Edward Sri. They have all helped me to deepen my faith and understand how our Lord fulfilled the old testament teachings
@@michaellewis9065 Same; Easter of 2001. Though I wasn't a Southern Baptist before. Really wasn't part of any denomination, as I grew up relatively unchurched and then in my 30s started wondering what this was all about, so I toggled between attending a Lutheran Church and a Baptist young adults group out of geographic convenience.
I'm amazed at the way Pitre explains the passages. I am also a fan of Bergsma. Hanh, not so much, although he has so much knowledge. But it's Brant that has a gift for explaining in a joyful and captivating way. God bless him for what he does for our Church!
Thsnk you v much. U hv no idea how much joy dis video brings to me. Excellent presentation, jus wht i needed to undrstand abt The Transfiguration mystery whch hs eluded me for such a long time. Evrytime whn i recite d rosary n meditate on d Luminous mysteries, i feel kind of lost n empty whn it came to d 4th mystery. And in d past, i hv prayed to Jesus dat i may hv a better n deeper undrstanding of d mystery. Who says God doesnt hear n answer our prayers !! Praise n thanks b to God. Lord Jesus, may u contunue to grant me yr mercy. Amen.
You deserve some of my money. Sincerely. I don’t go to mass for the teaching or the music, I go to worship my lord and to consume the Eucharist I go to You Tube, Catholic Answers et alia for teaching. I go to my playlists for worship music. I searched but couldn’t find the Hebrew definition of “be Perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” It was the reading Saturday. Have you explained this? Ken
Hello brother this is not a full explanation and i could be wrong but the Greek word for perfect is τέλειος which means complete, perfect, wanting nothing so maybe we are complete in Christ not very sure though God bless
I always thought that the transfiguration was really meant for Peter, James and John because Jesus knew Peter would deny him and Jesus also knew that James and John were called the sons of thunder which means they were easily filled with such anger that if its uncontrolled or not used well it can lead to their own downfall. Angry people kill and then rethink about their mistakes so that was my reasoning for these two. Also James and John were the disciples that accepted to drink the Lords cup because they were willing to sit at the Lords right and left side in Paradise but Jesus said it was not his decision to decide. Also the transfiguration explains or shows us how much of a change all of Christ's disciples can become. We are his children and like children we must change through prayer, meditation, and alms giving to the poor and be humble to serve those who are least among us and then the radical change will happen to us inside and out. This is exactly what ends up happening to Peter, James and John. Peter repents and becomes the first Pope, James is the first disciple to be martyred by being beheaded showing that he was worthy to drink the cup of the Lord, and John becomes the disciple whom Jesus Loved the most not saying Jesus didn't love all his disciples but John was and is the perfect image of Love through Jesus eye's so John never recieved his martyrdom but died naturally and peacefully because he truly was the Beloved disciple of the Lord. Theirs so much that could be foreshadowed just by this passage and its one of my favorites. Also at the end of each gospel Jesus meets all of his disciples and is carried up to the sky and all of the disciples become witnesses of this beautiful event that none says anything to go against it and not one of them denies their faith in Christ. Having seen this they are transfigured through the Holy Spirit and are officially called Saints after their deaths bringing in miracles and curing people of all races and cultural backgrounds.
Thoroughly Jesus promise to be with His Church the Catholic Church till the End, thanks Dr. Pitre for making Catholic like us Keep Faith with God and His church...excellent teaching well explained and well understood. I am a Catholic.
Glory to my God in heaven. Is this a full video because I really enjoyed this and was still waiting for explanations on other questions like the explanation of Elijah and why Jesus said the disciples must not say anything ❤
Also maybe important to note that 6 days after specifically seems to refer to 6 days after Our Lord called Simon as "Peter". Peter as first Pope who at first still does not understand the full significance of Christ but is revealed more fully here.
Interesting how in no movies made about Jesus is the Transfiguration shown. It makes me think. Is this man that hesitates to acknowledge He has shown very clearly He is God?:)
I know that this may be an opinion, but when Jesus showed Himself in the Transfiguration on the mountain to Moses, was He showing Himself to the Moses in Exodus? (Yes like a kind of time travel/omnitemporalness)
these two persons in the old testament are seeking to see the face or image of the almighty God. It is only at that time that the wish is granted.. maybe...
God is not bound by time. Hence Jesus could say in Jn 8:48, "...before Abraham was I am..." Or on Holy Thursday, "..this is my body.." (Lk 22:19; Mt:26:26-28; Mk 14:22-24) before the sacrifice on Good Friday.
The grace of God is multi-portioned ("hebrew" actually means "multi-portioned in the language of the man who first used it in the Bible.) Moses, Elijah, Peter, James and John have received the "good part" or the יענה portion (john means "the beginning of the response of God.") They, then, all had the faith that allowed them to enter into the glory of the Lord. And this allows them to understand the voice of light. Light is a language of God. (This is the נצח of the נצח and the נצח to נצח. This is the quickening of the blood and the power to pass on.] We are called to seek his face. The journey includes forgiveness, righteousness, holiness and glory. No man can give these. You cannot earn faith or buy it. You just accept the truth. Faith comes from the Word. It can fill your heart (your desires,) your soul (the impetus of your actions/accepting God's will as your will,) and your mind (so filled with the Word that every thought is filtered through it.) When Christ is fully formed in you, you have the ability to become a "son of God"--a unity. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. Isn't it the Πρωτον (proton) psalm referenced regarded the crowning? The ελεκτον (elect) are "drawn" by "cords of love" toward the Mercy Seat and the Lord. Three courts like three shells and a fourth location above the plane. In another dimension called heaven, Jesus and his friends were at his coronation. I wonder why Abraham wasn't there? I really don't know. I don't know a lot. I'm not educated, but i know Jesus.
Question. Elijah was taken up to heaven, and Moses died and went to Limbo. However, both are present on the mountain. So after the Transfiguration, did Moses have to go right back to Limbo to wait?
Since we believe that Jesus is God, so He was not bound by time. Though according to the creed Christ would go into the realm of the dead to redeem the souls there, He could permit the the trio (apostles) during the Transfiguration to have a glimpse of Elijah and Moses.
@@Dannyboy0202 Somewhere I also heard that both Moses and Elijah were denied the opportunity to see the face of God, so this maybe kind of made up for that.
Remember, Varkey, Sacred Scripture can have multiple levels of truth. For instance, a single Isaiah chapter talks about the coming servant of God and describes this servant as a whole people and an individual. So, is it a reference to the Israelites? Yes. Is it a prefiguring of Christ? Yes. With the Transfiguration, the Exodus connections are clear. But so is the Church's understanding these figures represent the Law and the prophets.
Great explanation and somewhat makes sense as Jesus is the custodian of the new covenant just as Moses was the custodian of the old covenant at Mt Sinai, I would like to think of it as a handover of the law from Moses which the old covenant was based on and that Jesus came to free us from the curse of the law as per Gal 3.14 , but what was the purpose of of Eli'jah being there?
Moses and Elijah were thousands of years before Jesus was born. There was no camera back then so how did Peter knew it was Moses and Elijah ?? But not for example Noah or David or Salomon??
Please correct me if I am in error. I have wondered where Moses & Eli’jah came from. Shoal? The gates of Heaven are closed until Christ redeems with his death & resurrection. Another point I’ve wondered about is that they talked to one another. Why? What did they say?
It is true then those of Any Faith i.e. Denomination that have eyes to see and ears to hear and an understanding Heart will in these last days come to know the truth of the Word i.e. Jesus in God Almighty the Father...It is Written in the Holy Bible to See for yourself.READ IT.
Moses representative of the law of Moses which pointed to Christ' coming and fullfill .Elijah representative of all the prophets which also pointed the people to Christ' coming and fulfillment .What did Father's voice say immediately ? "THIS IS MY SON"... .Three things are manifesting God's glory is Jesus .#1Moses #2Elijah #3 God's voice. The numeral 3 represents in scripture ressurection and manifestation , hence , God is manifesting the glory of truth and glory by witness of two or more. . manifesting

So God speaks to and reveals himself to the Jews in the way they understand in their culture and traditions. Same as in the Americas the Mother of God reveals God to the natives through OL Guadalupe with the symbolism on her garments
Dr .Brant Pitre, You got absolutely nothing about the revelation of the Transfiguration. You have a lot of questions but no answers. Q-Why did Peter say, I will build three Tabernacles, one of Moses, one for Elijah and one for you.
I want Power, and the ability to Destroy... When I'm dead, I want purpose. I desire not to be a Slave. Heaven is an Oxymoron, eternal Bliss cannot exist. God has made mistakes and therefore isn't perfect-- If he were, there would have been no Flood, a Perfect God cannot get Angry or Jealous. I know I'm not Perfect, but I want a garauntee that if I live a Pious Life, that in Death I can be a Hedonist and Destroyer of the Weak. I want Legion at my Command... I want to make Genghis Khan look like a Saint
There's several names Mary in the Bible which is John and James mother but not the Blessed Mary since God preserved her purity which means virgin! Re-read your Bible again! Dr. Pitre said John which is the brother of James not Jesus.
Hi, Paul Glandy. Dr Pitre himself has a youtube video clip on this subject, “the brothers of Jesus.” Search for and watch it, so that you’ll understand that they are not Jesus’ siblings. God bless.
I am not a catholic but I love this guys way of teaching.
Owen welcome to the church brother!

You don’t have to be a Catholic to listen to and appreciate sound Bible teaching. I love his work and I am an Anglican Franciscan tertiary.
Owen is that because all the seminarians would be converted? 😂

The more I understand the Bible the more I understand God and the more I feel bless being Catholic...thanks for the knowledge Dr Pitre!
True and dedicated catholics hate the bible. They hate Sola Scriptura. They go beyond the bible.
Dr Pitre: you doing these videos is EXCELLENT 👌 ! I always learn sooo many new things. I thank God for gifting you
All glory to God, we are proud of brother God bless. Fr Prem Kumar from India
Dr. Pitre you’re my favourite among all the theologian. You’ve helped me soo much with my theology
Wow, very enlightening! Good to learn about the parallels between the Mount of Transfiguration and Moses on Mount Sinai.
I love the way you read the Bible verses and then explain the meaning through answering questions pertaining to it. So easy to notes and understand.
Dr Pitre is so knowledgeable! I love his teachings. Makes so much sense. Love hearing the typology explanations!!!
Thank you Dr. Brant Pitre👏🏻 - excellent explanation as always. May God be with you always 🙏
This is Brilliant. God bless you Dr. Pitre for these teachings.
AMAZING TRULY! You sir have wisdom given by Christ. God bless
Thsnk you v much. U hv no idea how much joy dis video brings to me. Excellent presentation, jus wht i needed to undrstand abt The Transfiguration mystery whch hs eluded me for such a long time. Evrytime whn i recite d rosary n meditate on d Luminous mysteries, i feel kind of lost n empty whn it came to d 4th mystery. And in d past, i hv prayed to Jesus dat i may hv a better n deeper undrstanding of d mystery. Who says God doesnt hear n answer our prayers !! Praise n thanks b to God. Lord Jesus, may u contunue to grant me yr mercy. Amen.
This is one of the Luminous Misteries, loving the Holy Rosary!! Thank you LORD, Mother Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph!!!
Interesting exposition. Jesus as the new Moses. Thanks Dr!
I love the way you teach the word of God in accordance with faith...
Many hidden facts your telling us..
God bless you sir abundantly
Thank you for this explanation! Que Viva Cristo Rey! Que Viva!
You deserve some of my money. Sincerely. I don’t go to mass for the teaching or the music, I go to worship my lord and to consume the Eucharist I go to You Tube, Catholic Answers et alia for teaching. I go to my playlists for worship music.
I searched but couldn’t find the Hebrew definition of “be Perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” It was the reading Saturday. Have you explained this?

Thank you✝️
Thank you.
Thank you for your videos!
6:58 fascinating.
Amazing explanation. Some part of the Gospel is unclear? Watch dr. Pitre's videos!
EXCELLENT VIDEO
I have always been curious. How did the disciples recognize that it was Moses and Elijah with Jesus ? Was it revealed to them by God ?
chrisanthie de fonseka, most likey, because that’s how divine inspiration is all about.
God bless.
If the Jews and Muslims love Moses/Musa so much, they should love the new and greater Moses even more.
And so we pray for them & for ourselves to lead them to Christ
Glory to my God in heaven. Is this a full video because I really enjoyed this and was still waiting for explanations on other questions like the explanation of Elijah and why Jesus said the disciples must not say anything ❤

Wonder why Jesus Christ always referred to Himself as "son of man"🙏🙏🙏
There had to have been more - he didn't answer #7!
Dr .Brant Pitre,
You got absolutely nothing about the revelation of the Transfiguration.
You have a lot of questions but no answers.
Q-Why did Peter say, I will build three Tabernacles, one of Moses, one for Elijah and one for you.
The Roman catholic church will not survive when Jesus Christ comes to set up his Kingdom.
I want Power, and the ability to Destroy... When I'm dead, I want purpose. I desire not to be a Slave. Heaven is an Oxymoron, eternal Bliss cannot exist. God has made mistakes and therefore isn't perfect-- If he were, there would have been no Flood, a Perfect God cannot get Angry or Jealous.

I want to make Genghis Khan look like a Saint
Yet , Jesus still yearns for you to come home. Humble yourself. Stop being of your father the devil and ask Jesus to come into your heart.
"John his brother," so Mary was not a virgin. you heard it first from petrie.
There's several names Mary in the Bible which is John and James mother but not the Blessed Mary since God preserved her purity which means virgin! Re-read your Bible again! Dr. Pitre said John which is the brother of James not Jesus.
the BROTHER of James - Dr Pitre has always taught Our Lady is EVER VIRGIN. read his the Jewish roots of Mary
Hi, Paul Glandy.
Dr Pitre himself has a youtube video clip on this subject, “the brothers of Jesus.”
Search for and watch it, so that you’ll understand that they are not Jesus’ siblings.
God bless.
Its not what Scott hahn teaches regards the ark of the covenant as Mary. This confirms his false Catholic Dogma.
