Best Answer

Moses was a central character in the early life of Israel as a nation. The people revered him even after his death.

Elijah was one of the greatest prophets of The Bible.

The next thing that happened on the Mount of Transfiguration was God speaking out of the cloud, " This is my beloved Son, hear him". That means they were to follow what Jesus taught now and what is in the Bible rather than what Moses and Elijah had said before.

What two people from the Old Testament appeared with Jesus on a mountain?

AnswerJesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. It is reported that over 90 per cent of scholars say that the historical events ascribed to Moses never occurred, and it is therefore most unlikely that Moses ever existed. Similarly, it is quite improbable that Elijah ever existed. Yet, somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah.
