Elijah

Line 82:

Even though John the Baptist came to fulfill the mission of Elijah, he did not completely fulfill the prophecy.<br>

*The book of Malachi prophesied that Elijah would appear before the day comes when it will burn like a furnace. This means that Elijah should appear before the great and dreadful Judgment Day. John the Baptist, however, appeared about 2,000 years ago. <br>

*It is also written in the Bible that we should remember [[Law of Moses|the decrees and laws God gave Moses]] at Horeb when Elijah appears; however, nowhere in the four Gospels is there a record of John the Baptist emphasizing the decrees and laws established in the days of Moses. Instead, he performed baptisms of repentance, which was not in the Law of Moses.<br>

This means that the prophecy about Elijah in Malachi 4 was not completely fulfilled 2,000 years ago, but that its complete fulfillment will take place when the [[Last Judgment]] is near. In the Old Testament times, Elijah confronted the Baal worshipers all alone in Israel where Baal worship was prevalent so that he could turn the hearts of the people to God. Similarly, Elijah will appear in the last days to turn the hearts of God’s people to God and restore the truth of the [[New Covenant|new covenant]] by confronting false prophets alone in the world full of the customs of sun god worship.
