The Transfiguration
And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain apart.

After six days means after 6000 years

This is a preview of the rapture

Many say Moses will be one of the two witnesses but he cannot be for he died once

Well might be possible Lazarus died once, and a few others in scripture.

No it foreshadows the two witnesses. Moses himself doesn't have to be here just like Elijah wasn't inside of John the Baptist, yet Jesus said that John was the fulfillment of the Malachi prophecy about the coming of Elijah. All that's required is for the 2 witnesses to come in the spirit of Moses and Elijah

God brought forth a plan from creation involving 7000 years and those who say time is meaningless to the Lord are really foolish and lack so little understanding of scriptures.

Your thoughts!

I think that you have conflated an invalid assumption with a generalization and a grammatical error.

My understanding is Moses represents the dead and Elijah the living

Are we not to meet the Lord in the clouds just like the Transfiguration

And the dead in Christ will rise first; 17 then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord.

Jesus says Elijah will come and restore everything as well says Elijah has already come.

You disappoint me-this is basic stuff

Here is what the Lord gave me more than 3 decades ago after doing a time study from creation

Feeding of the 4 & 5 Thousand--Miracle of Multiplication

“Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?” Mark 8
What a question? Do you not understand? Well, first the baskets. From the Greek manuscripts we see a portent concering the baskets. The basket used to feed the 5000 was a kophino, and the basket used to feed the 4000 was a spuris. This holds true in all 4 gospels whenever the baskets are mentioned, as well in the book of Acts. The kophino basket used to feed the 5000 was jewish because when the people followed Jesus across Lake Galilie he was asked questions only a jew was asked, such as, " Our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness
As for the basket used to feed the 4000, Jesus had left the area of Tyre and Sidon in Lebanon and approached the area of Decapolis. Decapolis was a group of ten cities given to the Greeks for their assistance during the times of conquering the territory. When Apostle Paul was fleeing Damascus, he was let down over the wall in a spuris basket---A Gentile basket in a Gentile city. So we can easily say the kophino basket used to feed the 5000 was jewish and the spuris basket jused to feed the 4000 was Gentile. Strongs Concordance for kophino is #2894 and for spuris #4711.

Baskets weren't used to feed. Bread and fish were. And they were multiplied. The baskets contained what was left over.

It just occurred to me, catching your typo before you corrected it, that when Elijah was taken up by the chariot, his successor, Elisha, received a double portion, and I wonder if this correlates to Jesus telling Phillip, "You will do greater works than these..."

Perhaps. I've been told Elijah performed 8 miracles recorded in scripture and Elisha 16. I never checked it out.
