Moses and Elijah. Both appeared with Christ at his transfiguration during his earthly ministry (His first coming), both did signs and wonders that matched the ones perfromed in the tribulation by the two witness's. There is to be a second coming of Christ, only because he was rejected by the Jewish leadership as the Messiah during his 1st coming (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John), and so he will come again with same like conditions. I.e.,,a Roman Empire will be the world power, the two witness's at the transfiguration during christ first coming will reappear during the tribulation (Moses, and Elijah). Notice that Elijah never died, and Moses body was in contention about between an angel and the Devil (Jude), because "his work was not done yet", and all the wonders and signs in the old testament appeared during the ministries of Moses and Elijah as they will also appear again during the tribulation during the second ministry of Moses and Elijah as the "two witness's". Hope that helps, but there are even more specifics if you would like.
Mark 9:9 - Now as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no onethe things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.Jesus didn't command them not to tell anyone what they had seen; He commanded them not to tell anyone YET. It was quite common for Jesus to teach his "inner circle" something that they were not to proclaim until later; after either His resurrection or ascension.John 16:4 - But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them. And these things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.It's also quite easy to understand why Jesus sometimes told people to remain silent about His miracles; sensationalism could actually hinder His ministry, so He occasionally took steps to avoid it. There's nothing "strange" about it. It was simply a matter of prudence.[Quotes from NKJV]

A:Jesus took Peter, James and John up into a high mountain, where his appearance changed, and they saw him talking to two strangers. Somehow, the disciples knew without question that the strangers talking to Jesus were Moses and Elijah. However, the Transfiguration certainly does not seem to have explained anything that the disciples understood or removed any confusion they might have felt. Read literally, the sole reason for this journey was to let the three disciples see Jesus talking to Moses and Elijah, yet they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. In spite of this life-changing event, and its absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.

The upper part The Transfiguration of Jesus is an event reported by three of the Gospels in which Jesus is transfigured upon a mountain (one is Matthew 17: 1-9). Jesus became radiant, spoke with Moses and Elijah, and was called "Son" by God. Peter, James and John were with Jesus upon the mountain. The transfiguration put Jesus above Moses and Elijah, the two preeminent figures of Judaism.The lower part is a different scene from the Bible, in which the disciples fail to cure a sick boy.
AnswerAccording to Mark chapter 9, Peter, James and John witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus and saw him talking to Moses and Elias (Elijah). however, it seems they learnt nothing from the experience and were even instructed to tell no one. And, in spite of this life-changing event, and its supposedly absolute proof that Jesus was the Messiah, Peter went on to deny Jesus.
The Transfiguration. This event is recounted in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, where Jesus appeared in radiant glory alongside Moses and Elijah. It confirmed his divine nature to his disciples Peter, James, and John.
In the Transfiguration Jesus is revealed to be talking to Moses and Elijah, two of the major Old Testament figures. (Moses is associated with the Law of God and Elijah with the Prophets of Jewish history). However, they disappear and the disciples are left alone with Jesus, and a voice says "This is my Beloved Son - listen to Him". This is taken to mean that Christ fulfills both the Law and the Prophecy of the Old Testament, and that His voice (teachings) are authoritative over them/
Jesus and Moses were not contemporaries, although Moses did appear with Elijah to Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. Jesus did give respect and credibility to Moses' writings and referred to the fact that Moses spoke about Him in His writings.
