that is awesome! thank you! I had collected bits and pieces of what that link gives you, but nothing close to all the pieces they pull together!
I had a friend tell me that this gives us a glimpse of what Heaven will be like. He also reminded me of how Moses asked to see God's Glory, and how Moses face was glowing... your article points out Stephen as well, which i completely forgot about.
To imagine Jesus taking the 3 disciples... wow. The voice of God... identifying Jesus, and telling them to Listen to Him and then in their fear on the ground, Jesus touches them and says "dont be afraid" wow. Yes... I was amazed how I just never really focused on this before... and it seems chock full of meaning.
