They saw no man anymore

"And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw NO MAN ANYMORE SAVE JESUS ONLY". "And suddenly, when they had looked round about, THEY SAW NO MAN ANYMORE, save Jesus only with themselves". Mt:17:8 & Mark 9:8
These two scriptures are a prophecy for God's people today. Inherent in them is the truth that the law and the prophets only exist to point us to, to bring us to Jesus. He is the fulfillment of both the law and the prophets. On the mount of transfiguration, they had seen both Moses (representing the Law) and Elijah (representing the prophets). But suddenly (meaning in God's end time prophetic time table, this will all happen very quickly) they saw Jesus only, signifying that he is the goal of the Law and the Prophets, for Jesus said the goal of the Law and the prophets is love and God is love! After all, the Law came through a man, prophecy comes through select men, but his love must come through each and every one of us (the greatest of these is love, remember). Many use the Word that came from God through man and treat it as if it's a word from man through God. Many use the Word that came through them as a barrier between God and his people. Many know the word of the Lord but do not know the Lord of the word. Suffice it to say, we must all come to a place where we are beholding Jesus only, not men.
Jesus confronted those who used his own Word to deny him - "ye have neither heard his voice"(Jn:5:37), all they had ever heard was their own voice, the voice of man or Satan's voice "and you have not his word abiding in you, for whom he sent you believe not. Search the scriptures, FOR IN THEM YOU THINK YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE and they are they which testify of me" (Jn:5:38&39). See, the pharisees thought because they knew the written word of God they had eternal life and many christians today believe exactly the same way, because they posses a bible and can quote a few scriptures they have eternal life but they will not inherit eternal life if they reject him whom he has sent today - the Holy Spirit! And when they reject the Holy Spirit they also reject all those the Holy Spirit sends, including apostles and prophets. Am I saying it's possible millions of people who call themselves "Christian" won't make it in to heaven? YES! If they honor him in name only, with their lips but their hearts remain far from him. Narrow is the path to eternal life AND FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT. Many are called but few are chosen.
