When Jesus was transfigured his face shone like the sun - Matthew 17:1-21.
At the time, he was at the top of the highest mountain in the area, Mt. Tabor. The mountain is situated on the ancient tribal border between Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali. Mt. Tabor was an ancient signal mountain since a fire ignited on top of the mountain was visible throughout the entire region. The light emanating from Jesus was visible throughout Zebulun and Naphtali which fulfilled the prophecy in the book of Isaiah:
Isaiah 9:1
“Nevertheless the dimness
shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly
afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more
grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the
nations. 2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they
that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them has the light shined.”
