<p>17:6&nbsp;<em>And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face and were terrified</em>- The strong similarity with Moses (see on :5&nbsp;<em>cloud</em>) was such that they felt utterly unworthy, which is what falling on the face is commonly associated with in the Old Testament (Abraham, Gen. 17:3; Joseph&rsquo;s brothers, Gen. 50:18; Moses, Num. 16:4; Balaam, Num. 22:31; Joshua, Josh. 7:6; Ruth, Ruth 2:10; Nebuchadnezzar, Dan. 2:46). Their fear is similar to Israel&rsquo;s when confronted with the sight of a similar theophany on a mountain. They felt, as we all do at times, that all this was beyond them. The Lord&rsquo;s comfort of them was not simply reassuring them that they were not going to be consumed by the vision, but more so encouraging them that they really could rise up to the height of the calling to be as Moses. Paul grasped the point when he invites us&nbsp;<em>each one</em>&nbsp;to see ourselves as Moses, beholding the glory of God in the face of Christ, &ldquo;we each with unveiled face&rdquo; (2 Cor. 3:18 RV). Each of us are as Moses, not just the church leadership, but each one of us who has entered a personal relationship with Christ and seen God&rsquo;s glory in His face.</p>
