THE TRANSFIGURATION of Jesus is evidence that the rebellion of the Watchers on Mount Hermon was a serious sin.

We continue our discussion of “the angel of the bottomless pit,” Abaddon/Apollyon, known as El to the ancient Canaanites, for whom Mount Hermon on Israel’s northern border was essentially his Olympus. It’s not a coincidence that Jesus took his disciples on a thirty-mile hike from his home base in Capernaum to declare his divinity there instead of, say, at the Temple in Jerusalem.
