Consider the verse in the image in light of Matt 16:28 and Mk 9:1. These verses preview the glorious Second Coming of Jesus. Reading Matt 16:28–17:8, Mk 9:1-8, and Lk 9:27-36, we know how that Jesus was transformed in glory on the Mount of Transfiguration. Essentially, Peter, John, and James saw a preview of Christ coming in His glory at His Second Coming to set up His kingdom on earth. The Lord’s appearance was glowing white, and His clothes were whiter than bleached garments!
Matt 25:31 says: “The Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:” Paul, in 2 Thess 2:8, refers to “the brightness of [Christ’s] coming.” Peter, describing Christ’s kingdom, writes in 1Pet 1:11, “the glory that should follow.” Many years after Christ’s earthly ministry, John later saw some of that glory when he wrote the book of the Revelation: “and [Christ’s] countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength” (1:16).
