Transfiguration

‎Dr. Thomas has always believed that this appearance was actual, and that of Moses also. The term “vision” applied to the transaction has been held to exclude this view, since “vision” is defined in Acts 11:9, as that which is in contrast with reality. This contention may be right as regards the common use of the term, and yet allow of the things seen in a case like the transfiguration—seen for visional purposes—having been real in themselves. Jesus was real: the glory was real: the voice was real: the overshadowing cloud was real: and Moses and Elias may have been real.
