Answer 1

During and after Armageddon, humanity will see aspects of Jesus' power and personality of which they can only attempt to imagine. In a limited manner, Christ's transfiguration vision provided a visual guarantee of what was Jesus' yet-future greater glory.

(Matthew 16:27-17:2) For the Son of man is destined to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will recompense each one according to his behavior. 28 Truly I say to you that there are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” 17 Six days later Jesus took Peter and James and John his brother along and brought them up into a lofty mountain by themselves. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant as the light.

(Mark 9:1-3) There are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the kingdom of God already come in power.” 2 Accordingly six days later Jesus took Peter and James and John along, and brought them up into a lofty mountain to themselves alone. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his outer garments became glistening, far whiter than any clothes cleaner on earth could whiten them.

(Luke 9:26-29) Whoever becomes ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of this one when he arrives in his glory and that of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truthfully, There are some of those standing here that will not taste death at all until first they see the kingdom of God.” 28 In actual fact, about eight days after these words, he took Peter and John and James along and climbed up into the mountain to pray. 29 And as he was praying the appearance of his face became different and his apparel became glitteringly white.

Answer 2

2 Cor 4: 4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

Christ's glory is that of the image of God. "not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God."


If you believe Jesus is more than an image or less than an image,

You are being blinded by Satan, you are an unbeliever.

1 Pet 5:10 is talking about God's glory and not Christs.

1 Pet 4:14 doesn't say anything about Christ's glory.


Do you know that born again, anointed Christians receive Christ's glory, the glory he had before coming to the earth?

John 17:5"Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

22"The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

If Christ's glory is that of God, then Christians also become God.

This will never happen.

Answer 3

Well, first we should note that others have "shared" or reflected God’s glory. For example, the angel at Luke 2:9 appeared with "the glory of the Lord." God was not physically present, but the angel He personally sent to represent him was there with God’s reflected glory to identify him as being FROM God and REPRESENTING God. This particular angel was not even Jesus since Jesus had already been born on earth (verse 11). We see a similar thing at Rev. 21:10, 11 where the city of holy Jerusalem has descended FROM God and has the GLORY of God. That is how it can be identified as being from God: It has the glory of God.

Even some Christians will reflect God’s glory: 2 Cor. 3:7-18. And Jesus himself said that the glory which the Father had given him HE HAD ALSO GIVEN TO HIS FOLLOWERS. - John 17:22.

We know that the angel at Luke 2:9, the city of holy Jerusalem, and Jesus' followers ARE CERTAINLY NOT GOD even though they have "shared" or reflected God’s glory. So it certainly appears that God allows his glory to be with others who REPRESENT him as a sign of the authority He has given them and who do not represent that glory as being their very own. -RDB

Answer 4

As the word implies, the revelation has to do with the revealing or unveiling of Jesus. To unveil means to make manifest something or someone that was previously hidden or kept secret.

So, the unveiling of Christ is when he reveals himself to his chosen ones. Afterwards they will then not only become eyewitnesses of his manifestation, but also sharers in his glory; even as the apostle John assured us at 1 John 3:2, where he wrote:

“Beloved ones, now we are children of God, but as yet it has not been made manifest what we shall be. We do know that whenever he is made manifest we shall be like him, because we shall see him just as he is.”

I am a Seventh-day Adventist Christian. We strongly believe that Jesus is God. He died on the Cross and shed his blood for sinful human beings. We have redemption through Jesus Christ. We also pray in the name of Jesus.

John 3:16
Romans 10:9
Exodus 20:8-11

Answer 6

Why ask a Jew things out of a book that's not relevant to him or her? The NT isn't relevant...they live by the OT which by the way proves scripturally that Jesus isn't the Messiah as he failed on over 80% of the parameters laid out by the prophets. Also the theology in the NT is incorrect in the sense that it completely overlooks what the Jewish people were chosen for (even Christians acknowledge the Jews as the "chosen people").

The Jews are suffering the living pennance for the sins of humanity. Additionally, given the fact that they did return to their belief in God (assuming there is one) after being admonished by Moses and driven from Cannan...God decided that they'd be the keepers to the gates of Heaven too. So in the end of days the Jews will go first than everyone else for judgement and admittance or judgement and damnation. PEACE!
