Tabor's teachings; or The veil lifted, by the author of 'Heaven our home'.

PREFACE.

HE transfiguration of Jesus, when the veil of concealment was lifted for a brief period, that had previously hid from mortal view the glories of His Divinity, His face shining like the sun, and His raiment becoming white like the light— the descent of Moses and Elias from heaven to earth, two of God's children who had long been in a state of glory, to meet with Jesus upon the mount-the near and personal intercourse, the perfect ease and comfort of these heavenly visitors, whilst they engage in conversation with Him-the cloud, the symbol in Israel of God's manifested presence, coming over the mount, gathering in its drapery of dazzling and streaming light around the most august and important company that ever met upon the stage of time-the feelings of the three chosen disciples, as they enter into the cloud, whom Jesus selected to be eye-witnesses of this transient glimpse, whilst upon earth, of the glory which He had with the Father before this world was, and in

which He now appears upon the throne of heaven to all the assembled hosts above-the voice of the eternal Father heard by the disciples, and given out through them to sound over the world in the hearing of its passing generations, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear him"-these impressive incidents form a scene intensely interesting alike to the Christian, the theologian, and the poet, and full of the highest and most important instruction.

In the following Work the author has endeavoured to evolve and set forth, at least, some of the high views which the wonderful transactions that occurred upon the Mount of Tabor are so well fitted to teach.
