For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
ROMANS 11:24

And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
MARK 9:29
T HIS SCRIPTURE WAS given to the disciples of Jesus in answer to their question. They wanted to know why they were unable to deliver the boy who had a deaf and dumb spirit. Jesus, in reply, told them that prayer and fasting was needed for this kind to come forth. They had faced a dilemma and wanted to know the key to the deliverance. Jesus gave them a key that had a more far-reaching effect than they could ever imagine. It was a key that unlocked the door to the redemption of the Jews! Lets read the story in Marks Gospel:
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
MARK 9:1429
Jesus had just descended from the Mount of Transfiguration. On this mountain His disciples Peter, James, and John had just witnessed Him shining with the glory of God and conversing with Moses and Elias (Elijah). It was coming near to the time of His full glorification. This is when He would embrace all that the Scriptures had prophesied He would do. He would fulfill all the Law (the Books of Moses, or the first five books of the Old Testament) and all the Prophets (all the other books of the Old Testament). He would perfectly complete their words, works, and will of redemption. All the glory of God radiated from the One who was preparing to do all the will of God.
And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power. And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them. And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
MARK 9:14
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
MATTHEW 5:17
The three disciples saw the passing on of the baton of Moses (representing the Law) and Elijah (representing the Prophets) to Jesus! God, who had in past time spoken through the Law and the Prophets, was now speaking through His Son. He was Gods final Word. Moses and Elijah were witnesses in the spirit to the culmination, climax, and conclusion of all they had said, shown, or seen in regard to the Redeemer and the redemption of mankind. The shadow of what they had proclaimed was giving way to the shining silhouette of He who would perfect mankinds redemption. The full glory of what God had said was going to be finally expressed in His Son.
The disciple Peter was so mesmerized by the glory of the Law and the Prophets and Jesus that he wanted to make three tabernacles or houses of glory. One was to house Moses, one was for Elijah, and one was for Jesus. God, however, told him that this was the hour of His Son. The Law and the Prophets were now giving way to the Son, so he was now to give ear to the Son. There would be no need for three tabernacles, for all the glory of God would be found in the tabernacle of His Son! When perfection comes, there is no more need for that which was imperfect.
And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid. And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves. And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
MARK 9:59
But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:10
The glory of Jesus is incomparable to that of the Law and the Prophets. One meager comparison would be to liken it to todays housing in contrast to the housing of many centuries ago. Remember when a house had a separate building for toiletry, a separate building for cooking, and a separate building for living and sleeping? Now all these elements can not only be found in
