Exodus 24:9–10 records part of his ascent by saying: Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, and they saw the God of Israel. There was under his feet as it were a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness. The ground turned into...
Elijah, high on slaying the priests of Baal, gets a wake-up call when Jezebel threatens to murder him. So he flees to Mount Horeb where God gave the covenant and Moses had his vision of God. There, God too passes him by. While we learn that God’s presence is dangerous in the story of Moses, the narrative of Kings gives us a vivid picture of this da...
It is small wonder that Moses and Elijah appear on the Mount of Transfiguration talking with the glorified Jesus. That had already done this as Exodus and 1 Kings records.

One of the most common ways God uses to communicate his will to humans is through visions. They are vivid apparitions that are distinct from dreams. Although they usually appear during waking (conscious) hours, Scripture does seem to indicate that a person can experience visions while dreaming.

God used visions with such people as Abraham (Genesis 15 ), Samuel (1 Samuel 3 ), Daniel (Daniel 7-12 ), Ananias (Acts 9 ), Cornelius (Acts 10 ), and Peter (Acts 10 ). The apostle Paul received several significant visions.
