caz, daca tinem seama de faptul ca legea lui Moise punea accentul pe tunete, cutremur, deci pe manifestari vizibile si auditive, Ilie depaseste aceasta treapta a cunoasterii, ajungand sa-L vada pe Dumnezeu in liniste \u2013 \u201cadiere de vant\u201d. \">In any case, if we consider that the law of Moses emphasized thunder, earthquake, so the manifestations visible and audible, Elijah overcomes this stage of knowledge, getting to see God in silence &#8211; &#8220;breeze&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span title=\"Sfintii Parinti spun ca Moise si Ilie au fost

the Transfiguration on Mount Tabor to meet them desire to see God&#8217;s face in front changed in the light of Christ. <\/span><span title=\"Sa nu uitam ca in viata lor pamanteasca nu au reusit sa
