The glory of the Lord is the manifestation of His infinite worth, beauty, power, and character—His very essence and perfection made known. It signifies His "heaviness" or substance (in Hebrew kavod), His radiant presence (Shekinah), and the splendor of His holiness, seen in creation, His actions, and His ultimate heavenly dwelling, all pointing to His supreme value and majesty.  This glory was seen on Tabor when Jesus took with Him, Peter, James and John and led them up a mountain which represents God’s closeness to His people, their ascent to Tabor signifies both an inward and outward ascent to continuously be in His presence to draw strength from Him to press on in the journey of life. Tabor was the place where they were strengthened for the road ahead to the Passion and death of their Master and their own martyrdom later on. The Transfiguration is seen as a prelude to the Resurrection since, Jesus’ body was transfigured and bathed in light, so too would our own mortal bodies at the resurrection. If we continue to draw strength from Him on the mountain in His presence, we can be sure that He will take us home at the end if He so wills that we spend eternity with Him.
