[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.
# Mt 13:43 Lu 9:30,31
(3) Elijah, glorified, representative of the redeemed who have entered
the kingdom by translation.
# 1Co 15:50-53 1Th 4:14-17
(4) Peter, James, and John, not glorified, representatives (for the
moment) of Israel in the flesh in the future kingdom
# Eze 37:21-27
(5) The multitude at the foot of the mountain (v. 14), representative
of the nations who are to be brought into the kingdom after it is
established over Israel
# Isa 11:10-12
00566
[1] {Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come}
Cf
# Mt 11:14 Mr 9:11,12,13 Lu 1:17 Mal 3:14 4:5,6
All the passages must be construed together. (1) Christ confirms the
specific and still unfulfilled prophecy of
# Mal 4:5,6
: "Elias shall truly first come and restore all things." Here, as in
Malachi, the prediction fulfilled in John the Baptist, and that yet to
be fulfilled in Elijah, are kept distinct.
(2) But John the Baptist had come already, and with a ministry
so completely in the spirit and power of Elijah's future ministry
# Lu 1:17
that in an adumbrative and typical sense it could be said: "Elias
is come already." Cf
# Mt 10:40 Phm 1:12,17
where the same thought of identification, while yet preserving
personal distinction, occurs.
# Joh 1:27
