Answer Details
The appearance of Moses and Elijah during the Transfiguration was to confirm their legal and prophetic roles. They represented the Law and the Prophets of the Old Testament, respectively.

This event was also a way for God to show his approval of Jesus and to prepare him for his upcoming crucifixion and resurrection. It was not to congratulate Jesus on the success of his ministry or to assure him of victory over his enemies, nor was it for Moses and Elijah to settle down with Jesus in glory.

This event is commonly known as the Rapture, and it is believed to be a time of great joy and reunion for believers who are still alive. After the Rapture, those who have died in Christ will also be resurrected and reunited with their loved ones.

The arrest of Jesus by his enemies was a fulfillment of the scriptures.

Jesus knew that his time had come and he willingly submitted himself to the will of God, even though it meant going through the painful and humiliating process of arrest, trial, and crucifixion. Therefore, his arrest was not an accident or a result of his stubbornness, but rather a necessary step in God's plan for the redemption of mankind. The purpose was not to force him to perform a miracle, but to bring about the salvation of all who believe in him.

As a result, he became one of the greatest apostles of the early church and played a significant role in spreading the gospel throughout the Mediterranean world.

(b) What two lessons could be derived from
(a)
After Saul's death, there was war between his house and the house of David. Abner made himself stronger as he retained the leadership of Saul's army. lshboshet later accused Abner of having gone in to his father's concubine (Rizpah). This irked Abner and he asked whether he had become a dog's head as to be insulted on a matter concerning a woman. He openly defied lshboshet by telling him that he would renounce his allegiance to Saul's house and transfer same to David. Ishboshet was too weak to react to Abner's threat for he feared Abner. Abner however, sent messengers to David.
He asked him to enter into a covenant with him and he would hand over all Israel to him. David said he would consider his offer (see his face) if only he should restore his first wife, Michal. Saul's daughter, to him, after he had suffered so much to get her betrothed to him. David even sent the same order td Ishboshet to restore Michal to him and he had no choice but to comply. Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and called upon them to demonstrate their desire to make David king of all Israel (as God had destined it). With a delegation (of twenty men), he went to David in Hebron and David received thew warmly. Abner assured David that he would gather all Israel to enter into a covenant with him to reign over them. With the agreement sealed, David sent Abner away in peace.

(ii) In order to make his claim legitimate as king of Israel, David had to reconcile with Michal, Saul's daughter.
