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

“ I will send the prophet Elijah to you. He will come before the day of the Lord arrives. It will be a great and terrifying day.

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

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.

He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.”

Then his disciples asked him,“ Why do the teachers of religious law insist that Elijah must return before the Messiah comes?”Jesus replied,“ Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready.But I tell you, Elijah has already come, but he wasn’t recognized, and they chose to abuse him. And in the same way they will also make the Son of Man suffer.”Then the disciples realized he was talking about John the Baptist.

“ Look! I am sending my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. Then the Lord you are seeking will suddenly come to his Temple. The messenger of the covenant, whom you look for so eagerly, is surely coming,” says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

Then they asked him,“ Why do the teachers of religious law insist that Elijah must return before the Messiah comes?”Jesus responded,“ Elijah is indeed coming first to get everything ready. Yet why do the Scriptures say that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be treated with utter contempt?But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they chose to abuse him, just as the Scriptures predicted.”

For before John came, all the prophets and the law of Moses looked forward to this present time.And if you are willing to accept what I say, he is Elijah, the one the prophets said would come.

For the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to survive?”

The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and terrible day of the Lord arrives.

Listen! It’s the voice of someone shouting,“ Clear the way through the wilderness for the Lord! Make a straight highway through the wasteland for our God!

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says,“ The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. On that day the arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw. They will be consumed— roots, branches, and all.

Were you looking for a prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet.John is the man to whom the Scriptures refer when they say,‘ Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!”

“ Well then, who are you?” they asked.“ Are you Elijah?”“ No,” he replied.“ Are you the Prophet we are expecting?”“ No.”

Suddenly, two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared and began talking with Jesus.

And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below— blood and fire and clouds of smoke.The sun will become dark, and the moon will turn blood red before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.

asked him,“ If you aren’t the Messiah or Elijah or the Prophet, what right do you have to baptize?”

Some of the bystanders misunderstood and thought he was calling for the prophet Elijah.One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, holding it up to him on a reed stick so he could drink.But the rest said,“ Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah comes to save him.”
