• {v.2-9} We may remark here that it is indeed the kingdom in power that is manifested. It is not the power of the Holy Spirit bringing the sinner as a holy member of the body into connection with Christ the Head, revealing to it the heavenly glory of Christ as He is at the right hand of the Father. Christ is on earth. (“Mark 9” by J.N. Darby)
• The transfiguration scene itself was a prophecy. Christ is to be the shining Center of the kingdom glory, as He was on the mountain top. Saints will be with Him in heavenly conditions, just as Moses and Elijah were: some of them buried and called forth by God, like Moses; some raptured to heaven without dying, like Elijah. In the kingdom too there will be saints on earth below, enjoying earthly blessedness in the light of the heavenly glory, just as the three disciples were conscious of blessedness during the brief vision. It was “after six days,” and only six were present, so all was on a small and incomplete scale; still the essentials were there. (“Luke 3” by F.B. Hole)
• The mention of His rejection and death leads the way to the transfiguration in the three early Gospels. (“Mark 9” by W. Kelly)
