The Transfiguration: Christ’s Exodus and the Fulfillment of the Kingdom in the Catholic Church
The Transfiguration of Christ is a profound revelation of the entire Paschal mystery—the new Exodus by which Christ would lead His people out of the bondage of sin and into the eternal Promised Land of heaven. The presence of Moses and Elijah bears witness to the culmination of the Old Covenant in the person of Christ. Moses, the lawgiver and deliverer, represents the liberation from Egypt and the covenant of the Law given at Sinai.
