Matthew 17:10-13 "Why do the Jewish leaders insist Elijah must return before the Messiah comes?" The Way


Matthew 17:10-13 His disciples asked,

Question in the Bible

"Why do the Jewish leaders insist Elijah must return before the Messiah comes?"

Answer in the Bible

Jesus replied, "They are right. Elijah must come and set everything in order.

And, in fact, he has already come, but he wasn't recognized, and was badly mistreated by many. And I, the Messiah, shall also suffer at their hands."

Then the disciples realized he was speaking of John the Baptist.

Malachi 4;5-6 "See, I will send you another prophet like Elijah before the coming of the great and dreadful judgment day of God.

His preaching will bring fathers and children together again, to be of one mind and heart, for they will know that if they do not repent, I will come and utterly destroy their land."

Matthew 11:11-15 "Truly, of all men ever born, none shines more brightly than John the Baptist. And yet, even the lesser lights in the Kingdom of Heaven will be greater than he is!

And from the time John the Baptist began preaching and baptizing until now, ardent multitudes have been crowding toward the Kingdom of Heaven,

for all the laws and prophets look forward [to the Messiah]. Then John appeared,

and if you are willing to understand what I mean, he is Elijah, the one the prophets said would come [at the time the Kingdom begins].

If ever you were willing to listen, listen now!
