Matthew 17:10-13 The followers asked Jesus,

Question in the Bible

"Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come before the Messiah comes?"

Answer in the Bible

Jesus answered, "They are right to say Elijah is coming. And it is true that Elijah will make all things the way they should be.

But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People did not know who he was, and they treated him badly, doing whatever they wanted to do. It is the same with the Son of Man. Those same people will make the Son of Man suffer."

Then the followers understood that when Jesus said Elijah, he was really talking about John the Baptizer.

Malachi 4:5-6 "Look, I will send Elijah the prophet to you. He will come before that great and terrible time of judgment from the LORD.

Elijah will help the parents become close to their children, and he will help the children become close to their parents. This must happen, or I will come and completely destroy your country."

Matthew 11:11-15 "The truth is that John the Baptizer is greater than anyone who has ever come into this world. But even the least important person in God's kingdom is greater than John.

Since the time John the Baptizer came unto now, God's kingdom has been going forward strongly. And people have been trying to take control of it by force.

Before John came, the Law of Moses and all the prophets told about the things that would happen.

And if you believe what they said, then John is Elijah. He is the one they said would come.

You people who hear me, listen!
