“ See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.

“ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes.

“ Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives.

Look, I am going to send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.

“ Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come.

Look, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome Day of the Lord comes.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

Look, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of the LORD arrives.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

And he will prepare the way for the Lord. He will have the same spirit and power that Elijah had. He will bring peace between parents and their children. He will teach people who don’t obey to be wise and do what is right. In this way, he will prepare a people who are ready for the Lord.”

The disciples asked him,“ Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?”Jesus replied,“ That’s right. Elijah is supposed to come and make all things new again.But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People didn’t recognize him. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. In the same way, they are going to make the Son of Man suffer.”Then the disciples understood that Jesus was talking to them about John the Baptist.

The Lord who rules over all says,“ I will send my messenger. He will prepare my way for me. Then suddenly the Lord you are looking for will come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant will come. He is the one you long for.”

Then they asked Jesus,“ Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah has to come first?”Jesus replied,“ That’s right. Elijah does come first. He makes all things new again. So why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and not be accepted?I tell you, Elijah has come. They have done to him everything they wanted to do. They did it just as it is written about him.”

All the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John came.If you are willing to accept it, John is the Elijah who was supposed to come.

The great day of their anger has come. Who can live through it?”

The sun will become dark. The moon will turn red like blood. It will happen before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.

A messenger is calling out,“ In the desert prepare the way for the Lord. Make a straight road through it for our God.

“ You can be sure the day of the Lord is coming. My anger will burn like a furnace. All those who are proud will be like straw. So will all those who do what is evil. The day that is coming will set them on fire,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ Not even a root or a branch will be left to them.

Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.He is the one written about in Scripture. It says,“‘ I will send my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare your way for you.’( Malachi 3:1)I tell you, no one more important than John has ever been born. But the least important person in God’s kingdom is more important than John is.”

They asked him,“ Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said,“ I am not.”“ Are you the Prophet we’ve been expecting?” they asked.“ No,” he answered.

Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in shining glory. Jesus and the two of them talked together.

I will show wonders in the heavens above. I will show signs on the earth below. There will be blood and fire and clouds of smoke.The sun will become dark. The moon will turn red like blood. This will happen before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

asked him,“ If you are not the Messiah, why are you baptizing people? Why are you doing that if you aren’t Elijah or the Prophet we’ve been expecting?”

Some of those standing there heard Jesus cry out. They said,“ He’s calling for Elijah.”Right away one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar and put it on a stick. He offered it to Jesus to drink.The rest said,“ Leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him.”
