"Moses and Elijah looked for Him; the humble one ascended from

the depth,

and the zealous one came down from the height, and they saw the

Son in the middle.

They represented a symbol of His coming: Moses was a type for the

dead,

and Elijah a type for the living who will fly to meet Him when He

comes.

Because the dead have tasted death, He will repair them first,

but those [living][...]meet Him at the end."
