  The Transfiguration and Christ's Coming in Glory
  

  One of the great events of the Bible is the vision witnessed by the apostles at the mount of transfiguration. In that event Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ in the presence of his disciples, Peter, James and John, to discuss his decease (exodus) from the Old Covenant world of Moses to the New Covenant world of Christ.
  
  Prior to that transition, Elijah must come to fulfill the prophecy of Malachi, before the great and terrible day of the Lord. The event is filled with overtones from the exodus in the many allusions there. Most importantly, is God's voice from the cloud which says that Christ alone is to be the authority for their faith.
  
  The transfiguration is about the passing of the Old Covenant system of the Law and the Prophets, represented by Moses and Elijah, and Christ's death to that old world of the sin and death to rise from the dead in the creation of a new world of righteousness.
  
  Peter, who witnessed the event writes later that it was a vision of the power and coming of the Lord, meaning of his second coming. It is another text which affirms the near proximity of Christ's return in the first century, noted by the appearance of John, the Baptist as Elijah.
