When the students of Jesus saw Him revealed on the mount, they saw the law and the prophets both nearby Him. Both revealing Him in unique ways. He was speaking with Moses and Elijah. So, both teaching and prophesy are intimate with Christ.

  Moses and Elijah are always close by Christ. Teaching and the prophetic are both nearby Him, and both reveal who He is. They are two unique modes of expressing Christ. They are unique modalities, but both lead into His Life. For the law and the prophets both speak of The Christ. Teaching orders, prophecy cuts-but both reveal aspects of His Nature.

   Both our teaching and our prophesying should lead us into His Life, for both are meant to be in close proximity with Christ! All true teaching should be leading us deeper into Him; and all real prophecy, should be in the spirit of the story about Him. For, Moses and Elijah are still talking with and about Christ. Moses is teaching law, and Elijah is prophesying; you can listen from either side, and you can join in either stream. Bringing these two streams into the present is helpful. It’s not just that the law and the prophets pointed towards or spoke of Him back then; they still are!!!

 Practice switching back and forth from Moses’ way and Elijah’s. They both lead into Christ, but in unique ways. One is teaching, the other prophesying. Both are revealing who Jesus Christ is! I like teaching and prophesying, both are useful in different situations. Teaching is more about ordering. Prophecy imparts the word. We need both streams to know Him more fully.
