Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Return of Elijah to Our Earth It is written in Malachi, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." This could not have had its complete fulfillment in John the Baptist, for he was to go before our Lord in the spirit and power of Elias. John the Baptist was an Elijah in spirit, (Luke i. 16, 17,) but not the literal Elijah; whence, when asked, "Art thou Elias?" (John i. 21) he answered, "I am not. Art thou that prophet? No." This implies that John, though knowing from the angel´s announcement to his father that he was referred to by Malachi iv.5 (Luke i. 17), whence he wore the costume of Elijah, yet knew by inspiration that he did not exhaustively fulfill all that is included in this prophecy: that there is a further fulfillment. Even after the transfiguration (Matt. xvii. 11) Jesus speaks of Elijah´s coming "to restore all things" as still future, though He adds that "Elijah (in the person of John the Baptist) is come already a sense" (Jamieson-FaussetBrown Commentary). There is a still further comment to the effect that the coming of Christ, being gracious in its character, could not well be designated a day "dreadful."
