Mark chapter 9:1 is the starting point of
this lesson of our study in the Gospel of Mark
with Dr. John G. Mitchell.
Mark, having written that Jesus is identified as the Christ by Peter, and
then the Lord’s revelation of His coming
death and resurrection, our Lord now takes three of His disciples, Peter,
James and John and they go up the
mountain, probably Mt. Hermon.
Here the Lord Jesus Christ is
transfigured before them. Both Elijah
and Moses are there speaking with the Lord.
Dr. Mitchell makes mention of the fact
that the transfiguration is a picture
of the coming of Christ in glory at His
second coming to reign on earth in His kingdom. He also differentiates this
event from the rapture, the coming of
the savior for the church.
Let turn in our Bible to Mark 9:1 on the
Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, with
Dr. Mitchell.
