And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. Mark 9:4
Would you know Elijah and Moses if they appeared to you today? Would we even know each other, if we haven't seen one another for these past twenty years? How will we know one another in Heaven when we meet with Jesus there? I do not know! But I do know that somehow Peter, James, and John knew who Elijah and Moses were in that moment on the mountain. Centuries separated the Lawgiver and the prophet from those three disciples, and yet they knew the names that went with the faces. Had our Lord chosen David and Isaiah to meet there, I'm convinced that the knowing would have been the same. And so it will go when we meet brothers and sisters in Christ who we never met on this earth due to time or distance. New name given by our Lord, new incorruptible appearance granted by God, don't try to hide, I'll still be able to find you there in God's Heaven! And great will be our rejoicing in Jesus Christ!
