"Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord", (Malachi 3:6).
The study in the Old Testament (1 Kings 16:30.....18:39) reveals why the Message of the Prophet Elijah must come again...just before Christ returns to earth !
The modern Christian world, is in the same place that Israel of old was...do you know the history of that time ?

I agree BRNZ, I believe Moses is the other witness. |

Just remember....God will never let anyone into heaven who commits any known sin against him....such as breaking the 4th commandment.

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
And how sad..that no person, who attends Sunday worship services understands that fact ! Sunday keepers resisits the truth, that Jesus spoke ! They deny that he is the way, by their lifestlyes. "Not everyone that says to me, Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of heaven, BUT HE...that does the will of my Father in heaven..", (Matthew 7:21). |

I'm afraid that I must disagree. You must see how Christ understood that OT passage. He talks about it in Matthew 17:11-13, "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they have listed. Likewise also shall the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist." John the Baptist was the fulfillment of the prophecy about Elijah. That is how CHRIST Himself interpreted it, and I dare not take another conclusion. Joel |

I agree with you the John the Baptist was in 'partial' fulfillment of that....BUT look again at what the Bible verse really says:"Behold, I will send Elijah the prophet BEFORE....the great and dreadul day of the Lord[/i]", (Malachi 3:6)[/u] Now what was dreadful about Christ's first advent ? ABSOLUTELY nothing. BUT the coming of the Lord the 2nd time...is a completely different story. |

I go to Church on Sunday, as do many others right here on this site...what are you talking about? Surely there are "some" church goers who do not really believe - people go to church for many different reasons, and not all are born again. You say... "how sad..that no person, who attends Sunday worship services understands that fact !"  That's ridiculous my friend! Bronzesnake |
