I would offer from another perspective. What you offered It reminded me of the doctrine of the Witness of God.I think it can apply to the discision of the law.
The law and the prophets together are reckoned as the one “witnesses of God” (sola scriptural) It was used until the ministry of John the Baptist coming in the power of the Holy Spirit reckoned by Elias .
It was fulfilled by the prophet Jesus the Son of man. Jesus the new High priest after the new promised order of the vision (theophany) Melchizdek. Jesus prophesying as the father gave him words to speak.. The Son seeking after the glory of the Father .
John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh
his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
John 8 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my
Father, and ye do dishonour me. And I seek
not mine own glory: there is
one that seeketh and judgeth.
The time of reformation had come men and woman priests from all nations bringing the gospel.
The law as to the letter “death” uses the giver of the law Moses to represent our invisible God. John coming in the spirit of Elijah a prophet (Holy Spirit working in mankind) is used to represent the “law of faith” coming in the power of the Spirit of Christ that works in men .
We can see that I believe in the parable the law of faith represented by Elias is working with the letter or what the eyes see.(death, coruption dying). Moses represented as the law giver. Together with the law of faith . .creating one new perfect law the just and justifier . Again the witness of God represented by Moses and Elias.
Peter who it seems struggled to walk by faith missed the meaning of the parable hid form natural mankind. . This is shown by Peter's fleshly desire to build literal tabernacles made with human hands. . an oral tradition of mankind ,that does make the word of faith without effect. .(God's witness)
The believers are the tabernacles, the temple not built with human hands. .Again something Peter struggled with not mixing faith the witness of God in what he did see. Trusting in the witness of men (his own fleshly will)
Matthew 17:3And, behold, there appeared unto them
Moses and Elias talking with
him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt,
let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
I would think in the end of the matter Jesus working with the father together worked out the witness of God the gospel of our salvation
1 John 5:9 If we receive the
witness of men, the
witness of
God is greater: for
this is the
witness of God which
he hath testified of
his Son.
Luke 16 another example used in a parable using the witness of God to make to no effect the witness of men. . . the oral tradition that teaches the dead can communicate with those living (necromancy) . One of the I heard it through the grape vine oral tradition of men. No room for oral traditions; "the witness of men" in the witness of our great God. God whose name is Jealous will not share his glory with the corupted things of this creation .
Twice to emphasize the witness they are trying to kill (sola scriptural) or make desolate turned it upside down and made the necromancy a witness of men desolate .
Luke 16 29-31 Abraham saith unto him, They have
Moses and the prophets; let them hear
them. And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if
one went unto them from the
dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not
Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though
one rose from the
dead.
