Matthew 17:2

3

was transfigured

The transfiguration scene contains, in miniature, all the elements of the future kingdom in manifestation:

(1) the Lord, not in humiliation, but in glory (v. 2).

(2) Moses, glorified, representative of the redeemed who have passed through death into the kingdom. Matthew 13:43; Luke 9:30,31.

(3) Elijah, glorified, representative of the redeemed who have entered the kingdom by translation. I Corinthians 15:50-53; I Thessalonians 4:14-17.

(4) Peter, James, and John, not glorified, representatives (for the moment) of Israel in the flesh in the future kingdom Ezekiel 37:21-27.

(5) The multitude at the foot of the mountain Matthew 17:2, representative of the nations who are to be brought into the kingdom after it is established over Israel Isaiah 11:10-12, etc.
