Mk 9:7a ... And there came 'a cloud' overshadowing them, ...

Verse 7 has five phrases and 20 words. The first phrase contains these 5 narrator words ... Kai egeneto nefelē episkiazousta autois (And there came a cloud overshadowing them).

The 5 narrator words are top down. The noun "nefelē" (cloud) appears dead center inside a 4440 circle, the sign of a cloud. Whenever "a cloud" is mentioned in the Old Testament, it is a euphemism for God the Father. The diagram shows God the Father replacing, then pushing the 3 disciples down to the center of the mountain. He then covers them up with a large white cloud coming from his mouth all the way down to Jesus who is then transfigured back into his normal body of a 33 year old man with a beard. The pronoun "autois" (them) is tangent to Jesus but also refers to the three disciples God covered with the cloud. The word "them" also refers to Moses and Elias who get covered with 2 smaller 2220 white circles that add up to the 4440 cloud that came from God the Father. The future Jesus the Youth (2220) is out of sight under the 2220 cloud of God the Father. Moses, and Elias, like Simon, James, and John are all overshadowed by the clouds over their heads. The imagery of the diagram matches the imagery of the gospel text.
