INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC ? With Jesus In Prayer and Serv ice. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ? Worship and Work. The subject of this lesson as chosen by the lesson committee needs to be most rigidly held to its place as set forth In the Scriptures. The lesson should not be taught in a general way as pertaining to vision and service. The particular vision herein set forth Is the unveiling of the majestic per son of the Son of God, with an epit ome of the messianic kingdom. Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and went into the mount to pray. His chief aim In retirement was to get the disciples into a state of receptivitiy so that he might show them the reality and method of his kingdom. Before going into the mount, he declared that there were some standing in bis presence who would not taste death until they should see the Son of man coming in his kingdom (Luke 9:27; cf. Matt 16:28). That their drooping spirit^ might be revived and their confidence restored, he wa3 transfigured before them. Two men from the upper world were sent to converse with him about bis ap proaching death In Jerusalem (v. 31) ? the very thing about which the dis ciples refused to taik. Then, too, God's own voice was heard in words of approval of Christ's course, direct ing them to hear the Master. Surely now they cannot doubt his ability to carry to execution his kingd<jm plans. The purpose, then, of the transfigura tion was to give the disciples a fore gleam of the coming kingdom, to en able them to see the kingdom In its embryonic form. That this is true is not only shown by the context and circumstances, but by the inspired in terpretation of one who was with him and knew all that transpired (see II Pet. 1:1G-19, It. V.). Let us, there fore, note the outstanding features of the kingdom as displayed In the trans figuration. I. Jesus Christ the Glorified King on Mount Zion (vv. 28, 29). ? -Jesm gierifiwi-ott tire momrt tewktei they went to pray was Intended to symbolize the messianic kingdom as It will be when Christ returns literally to the Mount of Olives In Jerusalem (Zech. 14:4-17). II. The Glorified Saints With Christ (vv. 30, 31). 1. Moses, who was once denied en trance into Palestine, appears now in glory, representing the Redeemed of the Lord who after death shall pass into the kingdom. Many thousands ot the redeemed have fallen asleep, and at the coming of the Lord shall be awakened to appear In the kingdom with him. 2. Elijah, now glorified, represents the redeemed who shall pass Into the kingdom through translation. Many shall be living upon the earth when the Lord comes, and shall, without dying, be changed, and thus pass ln'u the kingdom (1 Cor. 15:50-53; I Thess. 4:14-18). 3. The topic of conversation (v. 31). It was the death of Christ, the very thing the disciples refused to believe. III. Israel in the Flesh In Connec tion With the Kingdom, Represented by Peter, James, and John (v. 28). Israel shall be called from their hid ing place among the nations of the earth and shall be gathered to Jesui Christ, the King, as the central peo ple in the kingdom (Ezek. 37 :21-27). Christ is the King of the Jews. 1. Peter's proposal to build three tabernacles (v. 33). The Feast of the Tabernacles looked forward to the glorious reign of Christ Peter caught a glimpse of the significance ol the transfiguration. His proposition showed that he apprehended the meaning of the Feast of the Taber nacles and, therefore, his proposition substantially was, "The millennium is come : let ns celebrate." 2. The divine voice (T. 35). At thil time God himself uttered words which assured them that the transfigured one was his Son. Jesns Christ. IV. The Multitude at the Foot of the Mount (w. 37-43). The people here were grievously op pressed by the devil, as illustrated by the demon-possessed lad. There are times when the devil Is especially ac tive in the afTairs of men. The mul titude at the foot of the mount la rep resentative of the nations which shall be brought Into the kingdom which shall be established over Israel (Is*. 11 :10-12). Inqiiry Inqnlry is human; blind obedience, brutal. Truth never loses by the one, bat often suffers by the other.
