- Description
- From one of the southern foothills of Hermon we look across the upper Jordan plain, and can see the river winding its way toward Lake Merom. On one of these lower hills of the lofty mountain took place that great event in the earthly life of Christ - the Transfiguration - which has forever made this a sacred mountain. One night our Lord climbed these steep mountain walls and was praying, while his three chosen disciples were sleeping. Awakening from their slumber, they saw that a great change had come over their Master's face and form. He had become dazzingly white and ineffably glorious, beaming forth a more than earthly splendor. Beside him stood the prophets of the past, Moses and Elijah; while from the radiant cloud above sounded a voice "This is my beloved Son; hear ye Him." It is fitting that the loftiest height in all the land should be associated with this scene in the life of Jesus Christ.
