Transfiguration
167
Jesus had told His disciples that there were some standing with
Him who should not taste of death till they should see the kingdom
of God come with power. At the transfiguration this promise was
fulfilled. The countenance of Jesus was there changed and shone
like the sun. His raiment was white and glistening. Moses was
present to represent those who will be raised from the dead at the
second appearing of Jesus. And Elijah, who was translated without
seeing death, represented those who will be changed to immortality
at Christ’s second coming and will be translated to heaven without
seeing death. The disciples beheld with astonishment and fear the
excellent majesty of Jesus and the cloud that overshadowed them,
and heard the voice of God in terrible majesty, saying, “This is My
beloved Son; hear Him.”
