“But if we will, we shall also behold Christ, not as they then on the Mount, but in far greater brightness. For not thus shall He come hereafter. For whereas then, to spare His disciples, He discovered so much only of His brightness as they were able to bear, hereafter He shall come in the very glory of the Father, not with Moses and Elijah only, but with the infinite host of the angels, with the archangels, with the cherubim, with those infinite tribes, not having a cloud over His head, but even heaven itself being folded up”

(St. John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel According to St. Matthew 56).
