I've recently written a Lord's Prayer Office to be used on and around the feast of the Transfiguration. It uses the imagery of the event in the gospels and theologically uses the insight of the passages context in following the promise of Christ that 'some standing here will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God'. I take it that this is fufilled in some of the apostles being with Jesus for the transfiguration. Therefore the meaning of the event can be understood as a showing forth of the Kingdom...
So, the Kingdom is seen to be a gathering up of creation, a fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, centred on Christ on whom the Father bestows His glory and whose words God endorses.
