Yet they received great light. They were assured that all heaven knew of the sin of the Jewish nation in rejecting Christ. They were given a clearer insight into the work of the Redeemer. They saw with their eyes and heard with their ears things that were beyond the comprehension of man. They were "eyewitnesses of His majesty" (2 Peter 1:16), and they realized that Jesus was indeed the Messiah, to whom patriarchs and prophets had witnessed, and that He was recognized as such by the heavenly universe.

Dog blev der givet dem meget lys. De blev forvissede om, at hele Himmelen kendte til jødefolkets synd ved at forkaste Kristus. De fik en dybere indsigt i Frelserens gerning. De så med deres egne øjne og hørte med deres egne øren ting, som lå uden for menneskelig forståelse. De var "øjenvidner til hans guddoms herlighed" (2Pet. 1,16), og de forstod, at Jesus virkelig var den Messias, som patriarker og profeter havde vidnet om, og at den himmelske verden anerkendte ham som sådan.
