Contextual Overview
1And He said to them, "Truly I say to you that there are certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death until they see the Kingdom of God having come in power." 2And after six days Jesus takes Peter, and James, and John, and brings them up to a high mountain by themselves, alone, and He was transfigured before them, 3and His garments became glittering, exceedingly white, as snow, so as a launderer on the earth is not able to whiten [them]. 4And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5And Peter answering says to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good to us to be here; and we may make three shelters, for You one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one": 6for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were greatly afraid. 7And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, hear Him"; 8and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one anymore, but Jesus only with themselves. 9And as they are coming down from the mountain, He charged them that they may declare to no one the things that they saw, except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead; 10and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together what the rising out of the dead is.

that Elias must first come? before the Messiah comes, or before the setting up his kingdom in greater glory; :-.
