Today’s Bible Verse: Mark 9:1-13

Title: Yahshua Transfigured on the Mount

Verse Text: [Mark 9:1-13 NKJV] 1 And He said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power." 2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah"-- 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves. 9 Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 So they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant. 11 And they asked Him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?" 12 Then He answered and told them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt? 13 "But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him."

When did they see the kingdom of God present with power?

[Acts 1:9 NKJV] 9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.

So, why Moses and Elijah? Moses represents Torah and Elijah represents the prophets. They were talking with Yahshua.

Talking in Greek is syllaleō and it is better expressed as communing; that is, they were in communion with Yahshua. Yahshua is the expression of the Torah and the prophets. This is confirmed by Our father when He told them to hear, listen to, Yahshua.

As to Elijah, his spirit or his mindset was in John the Baptist. John called for repentance and a return to Torah which is the job of a prophet and John was a prophet like Elijah.

I hope this has been a blessing to you. May the rest of your day be blessed. Walk Torah-ly. Shalom.
