ACTS 1:6 They therefore who were come together, asked him, saying: Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? This same belief and expectation was present during the ministry of Yeshua. To many, the transfiguration of Yeshua on the mountain is taken as a foreshadowing of this prophesied coming: MARK 9:1 And he said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power." 2 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. 4 And Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah" — 6 because he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid. 7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is My beloved Son. Hear him!" 8 Suddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves. (NKJV) After seeing this vision of the glorified trio of Yeshua, Elijah, and Moses transfigured, the disciples asked Messiah about the teaching that Elijah had to come before the Messiah could appear
