Ironically Moses was Jesus' mentor/predecessor when he was Joshua. And Elijah was Jesus' mentor/predecessor when he was Elisha.
Thus both Elijah and Moses appeared next to Jesus when he was Transfiguring on the mountain. But where was Elijah's successor Elisha? And Moses' successor Joshua? Ah there He is as Jesus Christ for he was those two in a past life.
The River Jordan symbolizes the kingdom of God and man's ascent into Christ consciousness.
