THE TRANSFIGURATION

THE TRANSFIGURATION ON THE MOUNT. AND THE 2,000 YEAR GAP.

THIS FIRST VERSE IS WERE JESUS SAYS ABOUT JONAH BEING IN THE BELLY OF THE FISH FOR 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS. THIS EVIL GENERATION CAN DETERMINE THE SIGNS OF WEATHER BUT CAN NOT DETERMINE THE SIGNS THAT HIS RETURN IS AT HAND. AS JONAH WAS IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS SO JESUS WAS IN THE GRAVE 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS BEFORE BEING RISEN TO HEAVEN.

Matthew 16:1-28 King James Bible
1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.

THE LEAVEN IN THIS VERSE TALKS FALSE DOCTRINE..

5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

JESUS IS THE GOD OF ISRAEL (MESSIAH) AND OF ALL THE WORLD. CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.

13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

NOTICE JESUS WAS ASKING THE DISCIPLES WHO HE IS AND TALKING ABOUT HIS RETURN. WELL THE SAME QUESTIONS ARE BEING ASKED TODAY, WHO IS JESUS? AND IS HIS RETURN IMMEDIATELY?

Mathhew 1:1,17
1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.(42 GENERATIONS OF 51.4 YRS)

Hosea 6:2
2 After two days will he revive us:(ISRAEL) in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

May 14,48 JUST BEFORE THE YEAR 2000 GOD GAVE ISRAEL A NATION, 3RD DAY AFTER 2,000 MESSIAH RULES FROM JERUSALEM.

EXODUS 19:11
11 And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

John 2:1
1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

THE THIRD DAY AFTER THE YEAR 2000 AND NOTICE JESUS" MOTHER MARY WAS THERE, THE ISRAELIS GET RESURRECTED AFTER MESSIAH COMES TO EARTH SO THIS VERSE FITS RIGHT IN TO. AND WHEN IS THE WEDDING FEAST FOR CHRISTIANS AT THE RAPTURE.

4,000 YEARS FROM ADAM TO CHRIST, AND 2 THOUSAND YEARS FROM CHRIST TO THE YEAR 2,000 = 6,000 YEARS.

Luke 3:4-9
4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
9 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Matthew 16:27-28
27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

NOTICE HERE AFTER 6 DAYS. I BELIEVE THIS TO MEAN AFTER 6,000 YEARS JESUS WILL RETURN TO EARTH, BUT BEFORE HIM COMES ELIJAH AND MOSES DURING THE TRIBULATION PREACHING THE KING IS COMING REPENT AND GET READY FOR GODS KINGDOM.

AND NOTICE IN VERSES 16:26-27 JESUS SAYS HE SHALL REWARD EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS WORKS. WELL FOR CHRISTIANS THIS IS AT THE RAPTURE. NOTICE JESUS CONTINUES THERE BE SOME STANDING HERE, WHICH SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, TILL THEY SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING.

1 THESSALONIANS 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 CORINTHIANS 15:45-58
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam (JESUS) was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

SO BEING JESUS TALKS FIRST ABOUT PEOPLE BEING ALIVE TO SEE HIM AND NOT DYING I BELIEVE THIS IS THE RAPTURE AFTER SIX DAYS OR 6,000 YEARS, THEN MOSES AND ELIJAH PREACH DURING THE TRIBULATION AND FINALLY JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH TO RULE AND REIGN FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER.

Matthew 17:1-13 King James Bible
1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

I EVEN BELIEVE THAT ELIJAH AND MOSES WILL BE REVEALED TO THE EARTH DURING THE SUKKOT OR FEAST OF TABERNACLES IN THE FALL OF THE YEAR BEING PETER SUGGESTED MAKING THREE TABERNACLES. (TENTS)

5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

NOW JESUS GOES TO HIS LIFE AND SAYS JOHN WAS THE FORERUNNER OF ELIJAH AND HE (JESUS) IS THE MESSIAH BUT NO ONE NEW SCRIPTURES AND RECOGNIZED IT.

12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

SO I BELIEVE IN MATTHEW CHAPTERS 16 AND 17 THERE IS A 2,000 YEAR GAP, AND ALSO A 2,000 YEAR GAP BETWEEN DANIEL 9:26 AND 27 WHEN THE RAPTURE OCCURS THE 7 YEAR TRIBUATION BEGINS, ELIJAH AND MOSES PREACH FOR 3 1/2 YEARS PREACHING REPENT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND AND THEN AT THE END OF THE TRIBULATION JESUS RETURNS TO EARTH TO RULE FROM JERUSALEM FOREVER AS KING OF ISRAEL AND THE WORLD WITH JERUSALEM AS THE WORLD CAPITAL.
