The Mount of Transfiguration

158:3.1That which Pe­ter, James, and John wit­nessed on the mount of trans­fig­u­ra­tion was a fleet­ing glimpse of a ce­les­tial pageant which tran­spired that event­ful day on Mount Her­mon. The trans­fig­u­ra­tion was the oc­ca­sion of:

158:3.21. The ac­cep­tance of the full­ness of the be­stowal of the in­car­nated life of Mi­chael on Uran­tia by the Eter­nal Mother-Son of Par­a­dise. As far as con­cerned the re­quire­ments of the Eter­nal Son, Je­sus had now re­ceived as­sur­ance of their ful­fill­ment. And Ga­briel brought Je­sus that as­sur­ance.

158:3.32. The tes­ti­mony of the sat­is­fac­tion of the In­fi­nite Spirit as to the full­ness of the Uran­tia be­stowal in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh. The uni­verse rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the In­fi­nite Spirit, the im­me­di­ate as­so­ciate of Mi­chael on Sal­ving­ton and his ever-pres­ent coworker, on this oc­ca­sion spoke through the Fa­ther Mel­chiz­e­dek.

158:3.4Je­sus wel­comed this tes­ti­mony re­gard­ing the suc­cess of his earth mis­sion pre­sented by the mes­sen­gers of the Eter­nal Son and the In­fi­nite Spirit, but he noted that his Fa­ther did not in­di­cate that the Uran­tia be­stowal was fin­ished; only did the un­seen pres­ence of the Fa­ther bear wit­ness through Je­sus’ Per­son­al­ized Ad­juster, say­ing, “This is my beloved Son; give heed to him.” And this was spo­ken in words to be heard also by the three apos­tles.

158:3.5Af­ter this ce­les­tial vis­i­ta­tion Je­sus sought to know his Fa­ther’s will and de­cided to pur­sue the mor­tal be­stowal to its nat­u­ral end. This was the sig­nif­i­cance of the trans­fig­u­ra­tion to Je­sus. To the three apos­tles it was an event mark­ing the en­trance of the Mas­ter upon the fi­nal phase of his earth ca­reer as the Son of God and the Son of Man.

158:3.6Af­ter the for­mal vis­i­ta­tion of Ga­briel and the Fa­ther Mel­chiz­e­dek, Je­sus held in­for­mal con­verse with these, his Sons of min­istry, and com­muned with them con­cern­ing the af­fairs of the uni­verse.
