The Transfiguration - A Preview of God's Kingdom - John A White - December 1983

John A White

The Transfiguration, recorded in Matthew 17, Mark 9 and Luke 9, is an enigma to many. Yet this incredible event relates crucially to the soon-coming Kingdom of God, pictured by the Feast of Tabernacles! Notice the account in Luke 9:28-36: "And it came to pass... that He [Jesus] took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray. And as He prayed, the appearance of His face was altered, and His robe became white and glistening. Then behold, two men talked with Him, who were Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of His decease which He was about to accomplish at Jerusalem .... Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!'" - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
