Bible Note: heaven rings, "First, Matt 17:1-8. Jesus told his disciples in 16:28 "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom." This is an interesting take on the Transfiguration that folows; seeing Jesus in his kingly glory. "Now this transfiguration, was it Jesus who was transfigured, or the disciples? See Rev 1:12-18. In otherwords did Jesus just allow them to see that which He really was? " The passage says: "and behold he was transfigured before them" so I have to say Jesus was the one transfigured, but for the edification of the three who he allowed to see who he really was, as you note. Moses and Elijah of course had previously met the Lord on a mountaintop and many scholars agree they are likely the two witnesses of Revelation. "The souls you mention in Rev 6:10 are those who came through the tribulation, not those who preceded us. See 6:11 and 7:9-14" I would say that any martyr killed for the faith has already gone through the tribulation. There had been many already by the time of John's vision. Emmaus |
