The Transfiguration of Christ a Picture of Jesus' Second Coming

Mark 9:1-4

Taken from Grace and Truth Magazine, 1928

 

This is a picture of Jesus' Second Coming. It is not a picture of the Rapture when Christ comes to receive His Church but a picture of the Revelation when Christ comes to establish His Kingdom. This is the connection which the first verse indicates and it is further indicated by clear analogy
