When will Elijah (Eliyahu) come? Malachi 4

15Jul/0855

When will Elijah (Eliyahu) come? Malachi 4

Malachi 4:1-6:
1 "For look, the day shall come, burning like a furnace, and all the proud, and every wrongdoer shall be stubble. And the day that shall come shall burn them up," said יהוה of hosts, "which leaves to them neither root nor branch.
2 "But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall.
3 "And you shall trample the wrongdoers, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this," said יהוה of hosts.
4 "Remember the Torah of Mosheh, My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Yisrael – laws and right-rulings.
5 "See, I am sending you Eliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה
6 "And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction."

Many believe, and rightly believe, that Eliyahu (Elijah) already came in the form of John the Immerser (the Baptist). But just as Yehoshua (Jesus) is coming a second time, so Eliyahu is coming yet a second time as a preceding witness in order to prepare the way for Him (Yehoshua). Eliyahu has not yet "restored all matters" as the Prophet Malachi (Chapters 3-4) indicates he would (just as Yehoshua confirms below). Read the following passage, but be careful not to gloss over verse 11.

Matthew 17:10-13:
10 And His taught ones asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Eliyahu has to come first?”
11 And Yehoshua answering, said to them, “Eliyahu is indeed coming first, and shall restore all matters.
12 “But I say to you that Eliyahu has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they wished. In this way the Son of Adam is also about to suffer by them.”
13 Then the taught ones understood that He had spoken to them about Yohanan the Immerser.

Yehoshua did not deny the future event, but indicated Eliyahu was already in their midst and prepared the way for His coming. Also note with the following passage that the Disciples of Yehoshua believed Eliyahu of Malachi 4:5 had yet come to "restore all matters". It was yet a future event, which is quite apparent even now (that is: it is still a future event).

Acts 3:19-23:
19 "Repent therefore and turn back, for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master,
20 and that He sends Yehoshua Messiah, pre-appointed for you,
21 whom heaven needs to receive until the times of restoration of all matters, of which Elohim spoke through the mouth of all His set-apart prophets since of old.
22 “For Mosheh truly said to the fathers, יהוה your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear according to all matters, whatever He says to you.
23 'And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.' [ref. Deut. 18:18-20]

History and prophecy are frequently repeated or reoccur in dual events. In fact, sometimes History is Prophecy (for example: the First Exodus is a historical event that prophesied the Greater Exodus of Jeremiah 16 and 23).

The Great and Terrible Day

Now we just need to figure out when the Great and Terrible Day of יהוה is (otherwise known as the Great Tribulation). There are many things that point to its arrival in the middle of Daniel's 70th week, a 7 year Shmittah cycle, and lasting for 3 1/2 years or 42 months (Daniel 7:25,12:1; Matthew 24:21; Revelation 11:2-3,12:14,13:5). Malachi does not specify exactly how long "before" the Terrible Day of יהוה that Eliyahu will come. We simply know it is any time between "now" and the start of the Great Tribulation. There is good reason to believe he will be one of the Two Witnesses of Revelation who gather the First Fruits (the 144,000) to Jerusalem to be sealed, those representing a remnant from Judah and 10-Israel, just before the Terrible Day. Unless the regathering of the 144,000 (Rev 7) and "the woman" (Rev 12) is supernatural, it will take some amount of time to raise a sign in Tzion for them to see and be drawn to. Even so, Eliyahu will certainly be communicating urgency if the timing of the Day of Wrath is known and coming quickly.

There is an intriguing parallel between the 3 1/2 years that Eliyahu stopped the rain during King Ahab's reign (I Kings 17:1) and the future 3 1/2 years of Great Tribulation. Yet again, it is uncertain how soon Eliyahu will come before the beginning of the 42 months, but we should find comfort in knowing that a great prophet will be warning the sheep before the Terrible Day. Just make sure your ears are open and willing to hear his message (much of the Christian, Jewish, and Secular world will oppose him). His message will not contradict the Prophets of the Tanakh. It will resemble Malachi 3-4 especially. And just like those righteous prophets of old, the people will want to kill Eliyahu too.

What have you heard recently about the reported sightings and interactons with a man calling himself “Eliyahu”? he supposedly was dressed in sackcloth, and all the expected garb. I can’t find anythin on the web, thought maybe you had heard something.

Thanks,

Well, I’ve known several people by the name Eliyahu or Elijah (as you probably have), but I haven’t heard of this particular individual you allude to. There are many reports of people who claim to be “the” Eliyahu in Israel, but none have “restored all things” yet. If this guy is he, we (around the world) should be hearing alot more about him soon.

If you come upon more clear details, would love to hear about them.

Shalom Aleichem!

Dear Readers of this post and comments.

A prophet will come but he won’t be named Elijah.

Look at what John’s name meant. The Lord is Gracious.

http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/John

Johns coming ushered in the age of grace.

This prophets coming will declare to us that there is a new period in God’s timing coming.

You will find that this is common thing in Gods men in the bible. The meaning of the mans name is what God is going to do through that man.

Abraham The father of many nations
Israel God perseveres(New time a Nation is Born)
Moses Out of the Water (New time The Law)
Peter The Rock (New time The church)
Paul Means small Paul said I am the least or smallest of the Apostles because I persucuted the church. (New Time the Gentiles)

So what does God want to do through this prophet do we know apart from a new timing? Is there any clues in the bible.

Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire; and them that come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by the sea of glass, having harps of God.

So we see here a people that are victorious over the beast, his image and his number.

This is what this prophet that God sends calling will be. This is what God will do through him. His mission will be to prepare a people to be victorious over the beast his image and his number.

This prophets name will mean what God is going to through his life.

His name will mean “A Victoriuos People”.

Have you heard of William Branham? is he the prophet of Malachi 4:5?
Hanok
September 30th, 2008 - 08:24

After 40 years of ministry, has Branham “restored all things”? Or has he turned the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers?

Those are the questions I will pose for anyone claiming to be Eliyahu. Most of those coming under what is called “Jeruslam Syndrome“, claiming to be Elijah or one of the Two Witnesses of Revelation, generally don’t even know what “is to be” restored. I simply believe there will be more than simple “claims” that will confirm the identity of Eliyahu for us all.

cloathed in sackcloth, the sun is too sackcloth, it means darkened, 2 witnesses can be one that is dark, meaning will look to people like the false prophet. its possible the 2 horns of the second beast which is the first one can be something like 2 witnesses that deceive.

there you go.

Elijah the prophet is Brazilian; he lives in Rio de Janeiro city.
He was born in 1975, aproximately.
I am serious, OK?
Research about this fact…
He is already among us, on “planet Earth”, and he is Brazilian.
He is 33 or 34 years old.

I agree that Eliyahu is ‘among us’. How else can anyone explain the education that is taking place by word of mouth via e-mail and website, pulpit and living room, et.al? The Holy Spirit moves among us to stir our souls and the communication process to renew our minds. Also, let us not forget that on Nov22,2008 the House of Israel has come out of exile. This is a mathematical ‘thing’ but in secular history the king was captured on that day in 722bce. It is interesting to note that that day, Nov 22, 2008, correlates to cheshvan 24 of the Hebrew calendar. I don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder here but this particular website is the most suited of all I have seen to expound upon this fact and to develope an opinion as to what it means. The unrighteous jews are not the ‘owners’ of truth. Yahushua has said that He did not come for the righteous but for the lost sheep of the House of Israel. The righteous of His day then is found in Luke 1:6. Unrighteous jews are people who mix Torah with other sayings (mostly their own). Foolish virgins are ‘christians’ who mix truth with error. The devil would have you in error and like Balaam will teach you syncretistic views to get you out of the good ‘grace’ of Yahweh. I say it is time for the wise to own up to their understanding and tell the foolish to go to the marketplace and buy their ‘oil’.

What is it to restore all things?
To overcome as Christ overcame will inherit all
things and G-d will become his father and he will become his son and when someone does this he will have fulfilled and restored all things.

What is the great mystery of the marriage of the lamb?
To become one with Father G-d by overcoming as Christ overcame, so when someone does that the Bride will be ready and Water will be turning to wine.

What was discontinued?

There was adultery. There was a divorce. There was a people removed from the house. There was a house destroyed. There was a language lost… an identity lost. A people became not a people. The Temple destroyed. The presence and manifest presence of Yah removed.

I can only assume “all” means “all”. A-L-L will be restored. And most importantly, Yah will be in our midst. That is what most excites me.
Hanok
January 19th, 2010 - 21:56

Mike, you asked How? If that was known or fully understood, I’m sure it would be done by now. Most of what we’ve seen so far is the-adversary attempting to counterfeit and confuse Yah’s purpose and design.

For example: the modern secular democratic state of Israel does alot of good things, but ask yourself: when has Yah ever advocated secularism or democracy? Eliyahu nor the spirit of Eliyahu is at work in the current state… or at least not in the current power-structure that controls the current state.
Matthew

Hello…., It is said that it is appointed that every man to die once right? Eliyahu is indeed with us as I type because we are in the End Times! He will come to restore Israel back to the times of David, Solomon, Hezekiah etc…. A main part will be the Temple being build or assembled on the Temple Mount! I believe it will be after the Psalm 83 war when Israel is victorious over her enemies! Elijah will be mainly responsible for this as He will unify Gods chosen ppl and MB will be destroyed making way for the AC and the FP shortly thereafter!!!!!

Very good post. I too believe this coming Elijah will be as the ancient prophets in terms of possessing great power over the elements as well as great power of speech. It was said of Enoch that he possessed great powers over the elements through the Words he spoke.

In other words…Words of God that come to pass as are spoken. It would require power of this magnitude to accomplish the “Restoration of All Things”.

His character & power & Authority from God is likely to manifest itself in the form of a Composite of many Types from the past. Afterall, next to the Mission of the Saviour Himself, this one appears to be a close second in Magnitude.

I’m sure he will appear a little more convincing than some guy we just “Hear” about on the internet who is just going around making self proclaimed statements.

The statements made by the real deal should be in the form of Great Actions enconsed by the Real Power of God and not just some guy dressed in animal skin and calling himself Elijah.

I’m amused at how many people fall for such petty imitations. The Real Elijah like Prophet won’t leave room for speculation. God will SPEAK through him and he will be accepted by a few and rejected by many. But there will be NO MISTAKEN who is SPEAKING through this man of Miracles and Great Power of God’s Speech.
Rob
September 11th, 2010 - 09:34

And as far as this guy wearing animal skins go…give me a break. That was appropriate for the time of Elijah & John the Baptist. That would appear as something out of place for today.

The animal skin was to express the the difference of character between the city slickers of their time and a humble man of little earthly means or desire.

The new Elijah will shop at Wal Mart as opposed to a Fifth Ave Boutique and wearing a three piece suite and sporting a Rolex watch.

Just an average guy who finds himself in Super Natural Favor with God who makes the meek very powerful to confound the wise and sophisticated of the world.

He will not likely appear on Oprah or seek ANY of the Public offerings that represent the wrongs of this world we live in.

Eliyahu will have a 40 year ministry in Mystery Babylon, because this where the remnant of Zion dwells. (Zech 2:7)The 40 year ministry is confirmed in Micah 7:15. The appointed “shepherd of babylon” of Yirmeyahu 50:44 is none other than Eliyahu Ha Navi. He is the teacher of righteousness written in code in the Damascus Document. See also Zech 9:1 From the time the teacher enters into the community until the end of all the men of war (Belial) shall be 40 years. Eliyahu will indeed warn, prepare, and fill his bow with Ephraim because he is the antitypical watchman of Ezekiel. Memar Marqah rightly prophesied that the “coming prophet” will bear the name of God, which in his name is associated with Eliyahu. Keep your eyes open for the “tender branch” because he is soon to be revealed. The shadow of degrees will soon move backwards.

What does it mean when the Lord said he will send Eliyahu…. “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction.”?

Once you realize what it is that Eliyahu is sent to do, then you can answer whether or not he has come. Just what does it mean to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers???

As John was sent as a forerunner for Christ and his mission in Jerusalem.. Eliyahu was sent also a forerunner for Christ before his second coming.

I will let you know that the prophecy of Malachi as already happened… Eliyahu has come.. and he has indeed turned the hearts of the children to the fathers.

Prior to the coming of Eliyahu.. another messenger from God has appeared.. and quoted Malachi a bit differently. He said:

And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.

The fulfillment of Malachi’s prophecy as been recorded. Here is the recording of that event:

After this vision had closed,
another great and glorious vision burst upon us;
for Elijah the prophet,
who was taken to heaven without tasting death,
stood before us, and said:

Behold, the time has fully come,
which was spoken of by the mouth of Malachi
—testifying that he [Elijah] should be sent,
before the great and dreadful day of the Lord come—

To turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the children to the fathers,
lest the whole earth be smitten with a curse—

Therefore, the keys of this dispensation
are committed into your hands;
and by this ye may know
that the great and dreadful day of the Lord is near,
even at the doors.

@ Hanok

No.. why would you think I am kidding you? Still.. the question I asked is very viable. If you don’t find that explanation suiting to your purpose.. then what?

Here.. let me ask the question again and have you.. or someone answer it.

What does it mean when the Lord said he will send Eliyahu…. “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction.”??

What is Eliyahu doing that causes that? I mean.. what power will he display that will actually cause the hearts of the children to turn to their fathers?? And why is it necessary for the hearts of the children to be turned to their fathers?? And why if Eliyahu did not come.. why would then the Lord smite the earth with utter destruction?

MrNirom, while I too am LDS, what happened in the Kirtland Temple that day was just a foreshadow of things to come. Elijah at that time, restored the Sealing Powers to Joseph Smith, who did NOT restore all things, neither did Elijah at that time.

If you believe that to be a complete fulfillment of that prophecy, then why are “All Things” not yet restored BEFORE the Lord returms ?…Vs. the Kingdom of God, as opposed to Joseph Smith having only laid it’s foundation through the restored Church, which is a PRECURSER to the Lord’s Kingdom to be built upon that foundation.

You are not familar enough with Joseph Smith’s own prophecies to know that the Lord intends to send “One Mighty & Strong” as per sec 85 of the D&C and the “Man like unto Moses” as per sec 103. And the one refered to in sec 65. As well as numerous references to this same “Elijah Like” prophet mentioned in Isaiah and other books of the Bible and Dead Sea Scrolls.

We are still looking for this man to arrive.

The point being…Learn the TRUTH….All of it and not just parts of it that foreshadow ALL of it.
Zack
June 11th, 2011 - 13:36

MrNirom, Do you honestly believe that the church in it’s current sate is prepared to meet God without going though some SERIOUS changes ? And who would enact those changes ?….The current leadership, or someone of a different ILK ? Like an “Elijah” coming from WITHOUT the confines of the established way, which has been DISTORTED to the point of God inspiring Joseph Smith and many other prophets of old, with the need to send someone from the PRESENCE of God, as per sec 85 ?

We as a people, have spiritually gone to sleep and have been absorbed into Babylon and need to be reawakned by a REAL PROPHET and not the current set of Businessmen responsible for PERPETUATING the Babylonian desire for wealth, worshiped as a religion.

WAKE UP Brother. There is a REASON Joseph recieved those revelations from God, that conform to the prophecies of Isaiah for our day and serve as a WARNING to us.

The “Wolves” are among the “Sheep” and wear three piece suites and are the LEADERS of the Lord’s Church, who lull the sheep into a sense of “All is well”, when things such as NOW, are NOT well.

Read the instructions more THOROUGHLY & CAREFULLY.
Zack
June 11th, 2011 - 13:54

As a person who has followed these things very closely…Plan to see this “Elijah” come forth next year, probably in the late spring, during May. The signs of his obsured arrival on a certain day have been given to us to watch for and are SCREAMING at us right now.

When righteous people as a whole, begin to pray in concert for DELIVERANCE, as did the children of Israel who found themselves under the oppressive hand of Pharo, THEN look for God to SEND this “Man Like Unto Moses & Elijah”.

Right now, people are just discussing his ROLE and have not yet been BOWED LOW by Pharo’s oppression. But be assured that Pharo is now working VERY HARD at making that happen.

By next year, we will have taken all we can bear and ASK God to send this man, as the the children of Israel of Moses’s day and Moses became that man.

please hanok,

visit the website I gave,www.repentandpreparetheway.org,there all your questions will be answered.for a short history,he did not identify himself as elijah but we were able to notice that by the help of the Holy Spirit(ruach hakodesh).He used to be a university Professor in Israel(Ben Gurion) teaching molecular biology with a bias for oncology.But when the LORD called him,strange things began to happen in his life,the visions and dreams you name it. but all his prophecies have come to pass,and he has therefore passed the true bencmark of a prohet that the LORD gave us in deutronomy 18. by the way his prophecies are never declared when there are tell-tale signs,but when people dont expect many months beforjust to name a few you know of the asian tsunami,hurricane katrina,chilean earthquake,haitian earthquake(yet to date science cannot accurately predict when one wil occur),the iranian earhquake,japanese tsunami,the recent terrorist attack in norway,the kenyan post election violence in 2007,the korean peninsula war,the economic crash in america 2009,the australian floods the list goes on and on.the LORD has shown him the rapture of the church as potrayed in Daniel 12:2 and 1st Thess 4:16 and what takes place in heaven in Rev 19:7-8.He never went to a any theological college but the holy spirit has deeply taught him scripture(remember Colosians 2:8?).here in our country just as it was during the time of Jesus,so is it now,there are endless arguments amongst church leaders whether he is sent form GOD.why? they know where he comes from and there’s no way he can be a prophet.they insist Eliyahu must come from Israel and from heaven,where did they get this?theology of course!!!we have even been accused of worshipping him!!!If Christ who was God Himself had to be born of a woman,who is elijah His servant to just fall from Heaven? anyway visit the website for more info

These are the days of the restoration of all things, the days of the latter rain, the refreshing which comes from the presence of the Lord. These are the days in which the Lord Yeshua is about to confront His people through His prophet Eliyahu. The restoration of all things is the full restoration of the bride of Christ world wide. The restoration of the foundation of the church that the apostles and prophets laid 2000 years ago. It is the restoration of true worship and of the full function of every spiritual gift given to every believer. It is the restoration of true order in the house of God and of the true Word of God being preached from the pulpits. It is the day of the confrontation of every false teacher and prophet twisting the Word of God for their own gain. These are the days of the fullness of the gentiles so to provoke the natural branches to jealousy and so all of Israel shall be saves as it is written. These are the days of the full manifestation of the sons and daughters of God and all of creations shall witness the whole house of Israel no longer a valley of dry bones but rather the holy army shall be like God in these last days! The house of Israel which is the church, both Jew and Gentile, shall no longer be a valley of dry bones, but shall become of one body, one faith, and one God and Father! One accord! The one new man! The new wine skin prepared to receive the new wine! The refreshing latter rain which comes from the presence of the Lord! I have been praying fervently that Yeshua might pour out His Spirit upon His church one last time and behold! I hear the sound of an abundance of rain coming! An outpouring so great that it will make the day of Pentecost look like a mere drizzle! God is about to water your dry bones oh house of Israel and out of your mouth shall flow rivers of living waters, but first you must become the one new man, the fullness of Christ! All things must be restored! The whole world shall believe in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, through you oh bride of the Most God! The devil shall make war with you like never before because of your witness in these last days oh natural and wild olive trees standing before the God of the earth, but you shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the words of your testimony in Yeshua! Behold, Eliyahu is here!

Elijah the prophet is Brazilian. He was born in 1976.
Pray, just pray, you will know the truth.

The plumbline is in the hand of Zerubbabel; the shepherd stone of Israel. He (the prophet) will be from a very fruitful place, which is the fulfillment of Ephraim’s name. Ephraim is to be found in the West. Enough of the foolish assertions that this prophet is from Brazil, Kenya, Israel, or wherever. Whoever has “eyes to see” and ears to hear” will be able to discern where “the offspring of Babylon” lives, works, and dwells.

27 And it came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened.” 28 So they cried with a loud voice and cut themselves according to their custom with swords and lances until the blood gushed out on them. 29 And it came about when midday was past, that they raved until the time of the offering of THE EVENING SACRIFICE; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.

Let us prepare our hearts at sundown in two weeks (Oct.8) so that we will be partakers of the latter rain (moreh ha zedek), when he comes.

What happen to the Blog Hanok, that was a blessing to me, plus I am sure there is plenty of material out there. So is it true that you felt God called you to create this website, make sure your faithful and I agree. If you cannot maintain website w/ update can you recomend a blog/site that is keeping up with the times?

Also, I am planting a church, was praying about it and the Lord revealed John 1:23, and I named it Bethany. Just created website for it and am praying for where He wants me to plant, I currently live in Chicago, IL. So keep it in Prayer.

Cant wait to see when this Elijah reveals himself, but then again I can for the count down begins.

Maybe God gave the Myans a heads up, because 2012 is looking to be an intresting year.

Also that Pharoh comment was nicely said, the people are begging to cry. Occupy Movement?

Keeping my eyes wide open.

thanks SS for your comments,they are truly uplifting.everything you say is just what the servant of the LORD has been teaching us,the latter rain and time for the evening sacrifice!! This remark he made during a recent meeting of the LORD in a small town in kenya known as kisii…infact on that day he commanded heaven to open for the latter rain(both physical and spiritual) mark you he had prophesied it days before. Elijah was to come and restore the altar of the LORD broken by prophets of baal and restored the true worship of Jehovah. Right now the servant of the LORD has restored true worship in Kenya and other parts of the world keeping of the sewage water of baal worship that we drunk from tbn and other apostate christian media.please i appeal to you to visit the repentandpreparetheway.org and all you queries will be answered.shalom

Check Dr. Awuor of Kenya. The message is unique but exemplary and same like John the Baptist. He is also global.

Victor, the messenger is hidden and he will remain so until the appointed time. Please sir, heed my words, the prophet is not from Kenya. He will not lift his voice in the streets, but his initial work will be accomplished through a small group and he will be largely anonymous in the first 10-15 years of his ministry. Any man claiming to be the prophet, as so many are doing at this present time, disqualifies him from being Elohim’s chosen messenger. His work will be the evidence of his identity, because he is Elohim’s signet ring.

“His work will be the evidence of his identity” …THAT is what I’m talking about. Nicely said, S.S.

Thank you, Hanok. There are four things that will identify the coming messenger in the years ahead. However, the biggest problem that most so called prophecy scholars have is that they consistently equate the fig tree of Mattityahu 24 with political Zionism. This is a grievous mistake because of who controls Zionism (Ezekiel 35:10), and because these people are the Jewish people: the house of Judah.

However, the fig tree represents the House of Israel: the fullness of the gentiles. This is seen in the Apocalypse of Kefa (Peter). The early Messianic movement understood the mystery of gentile redemption through the law of the goel. The goel could only redeem a fellow Israelite by blood or marriage. This is why Yeshua is our KINSMAN redeemer. He came to buy back that which was already lost ( the lost tribes).

Therefore, the tender branch of this fig tree is the prophet (Ezekiel 17). This is a tender twig planted in a great land of commerce. This is why he (the prophet) is not Jewish, but a small one from the fullness of the gentiles. This is why he is called Shiloh, because this is an ancient Ephraimite territory. It was also at Shiloh where a man of Elohim prophesied of the coming eschatological priest who will build a house for Yahweh Elohim and walk before the Jewish mashiyach forever. (1 Samuel 2:35) If anybody is interested in the characteristics of the prophet, let me know. They are all in the word. On last admonition: relax, Babylon must go through a economic and culural renaissance.
Hanok
November 24th, 2011 - 09:42

That last statement got my attention… especially. On what basis do you think such a renaissance is coming, or suppose to come at this stage? I can kinda see how one would come if Ron Pauls were elected all over the country, at every level, but I have serious doubts such is coming.
S.S.
November 24th, 2011 - 22:24

Hanok, thanks again for responding. The election of Ron Paul would definitely be a positive impetus for the perpetuation of the American messianic community, as well as a negative one for the Idumeans who are now in control of the U.S. government and Israeli intelligence.(Ezekiel 35:10) Do not put it past Elohim to allow such a man as Ron Paul and many like him to gain political power which would in turn accommodate the coming 40 year restoration of all things.

However, such an event of this magnitude HAS TO HAPPEN in order to fulfill biblical prophecy, and I will precisely show you how. Since our great Elohim is sovereign and in control of the NWO itself (Rev. 17:17), be not doubtful that he will allow such things to transpire in order to seal the first fruits of his election. Amos 5:13-15 speaks of this time. Elohim will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph by DEFERRING his anger (Yesha’Yahu 48:9) on the whole house of Jacob. These are those who are said to come forth out of the waters of Judah (48:1) These are baptized apostate Christians (mikveh) who do not follow Elohim in true doctrine or obedience to his law.

Since the descendants of Joseph would inherit the land now known as Babylon (Gen.49: 22-26), this is the place where El’s mercy will be manifest by the deferring of his anger. How will this happen? The North American Illuminati will receive a wound to its head through a democratic revolution (Rev.3:3). Babylon is a land of DOUBLE REBELLION according to the prophet Yirmeyahu. This will set the synagogue of Satan and their plans back by several decades so that the coming prophet’s work can and will be accomplished. Remember, the CFR steers the United Nations. During this time of rebuilding that will ultimately culminate in a 3rd world war and the healing of world government, Europe must become federalized and under Islamic control. Then Gog (the Assyrian dictator) will come and destroy Babylon.

There are many, many scriptures to confirm this, but space and time does not permit me to do so. However, I sense a anxiety in you Hanok, and your father in heaven does not want you to feel this. Do not worry about escaping Babylon at this time, for the season is no where near. Remember, the days of the coming of the Messiah are reminiscent of the days of Noah. Babylon will recover and flourish temporarily, and the prophet will appear when biblical literacy hits an all time low causing many to reject his teaching. However, Elohim reveals him only to the elect. Many at that time WILL NOT even be expecting judgment due to the prosperity of Babylon. Keep up the wonderful work, for you are going to have a very high ranking position in the world to come. Remember the days of Noah, and keep your eyes open for the “offspring of Babylon”. Ron Paul may or may not become president, but something monumental is going to happen.

Well Said S.S.

And I would like to know the characteristics of this prophet to come, not just biblically but how that translates practically and physically in the here and now, Staff or no staff, mantel or no mantel, reebok or nikes, middle class or poor?

Obviously I am being a little sarcastic, but still throw some real stuff at me that will distinguish him for the rest, this group he has around him sounds cult like. Will he be found on a church or at the local construction site framing his neighbors house.

One last thing, what do you mean by offspring of Babylon?

Good call on Hanok, Dont trip Hanok everything is going to be alright, the Lord will take care of you here on Earth also, the father is very pleased and proud to call you His son.
S.S.
November 28th, 2011 - 12:54

Isaac, “the offspring of Babylon” is the Hebraic meaning of the name Zerubbabel. The coming prophet is the antitypical Zerubbabel. He is spoken of by the prophets Hagai and Z’kharyah. Elohim has a way of conveying prophetic truths through historic personages. He is the messenger that Elohim sends to a polluted, apostate, ecumenical Christianity that is represented by “Yeshua the high priest clothed in a filthy (unrighteous) garment.” Z’kharyah Chapter 3. From this toxic institution he is called to seal a remnant with the pure essence of Elohim’s law and the true meaning of prophecy which is called “the testimony”. This is the brand pucked from the fires of tribulation. Yesha’Yahu 8:16, Revelation 19:10

If you are able to discern which nation is the eschatological Babylon, then you will know where he comes from. He is the shemesh of righteousness rising with restoration in his wings. At Ras Shamrah, shemesh was identified as a high ranking deity in the Canaanite pantheon, next only to El. Shemesh inhabited the unknown desolate heritages far from the known Mesopotamian civilization.

In Revelation 10, the mighty messenger’s right foot is in the sea (yam=west, Brit Chadasha, and his left foot his planted on the land. This is Palestine. The dominant portion of his ministry will be to the Western Christian nations which is Ephraim, and the lesser part will be to Jewish Israel which is Judah. He will reveal the messianic scriptures in the Tanach to Judah revealing Yeshua as messiah, and reveal the law and Ephraim’s identity,which they are unaware of, to them. However, he shows both houses their sins. Yesha,yahu 58

Now, the characteristics.

1.) He will be of the dominant racial and ethnic strain of Babylon. Song of Solomon 5:10-16. There is a reason why this particular megillot is read at Passover.

2.) His ministry will be particularly centered around the law and prophets. Moshe & Eliyahu was seen with Yeshua on the Mount of Transfiguration. This is Mt Hermon, where Ephraim and Judah dwell together in unity, and where the blessing is commanded. He will rebuke and pronounce judgment against political, religious, and business leaders.

3.) What’s in a name? God’s name is in him, (Sh’mot 23) and the meaning of his surname reflects God’s mission to the latter day remnant. Yesha’yahu 45. Yeshua said to Yerushalayim, “Baruch habah Hashem Adonai” = Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. In other words, the House of Judah will see and acknowledge Yeshua as messiah only when they accept the testimony of the prophet and bless him. His name is not Elijah, but carries an Elijianic meaning.

4.) He will be wealthy, due to his knowledge, understanding, and practice of the Avrahamic covenant. However, no one will ever be able to tell, because he does not exhibit it in clothing, housing, or vehicles. He gives extensively to the underprivileged as commanded by his God, and spends multiple thousands of dollars on the restoration ministry. He will never ask a red penny from anybody, including his followers, for it is written ” He shall make his way prosperous”.

Last, but definitely not least, due to the corruption at Yavneh he will restore scriptures long ignored by the counterfeit church and Judaism. Thus, he will be preaching from “non-canonical” scriptures.

Shalom, S.S.

Mmmmm… your 4th point would certainly disqualify a fair number of impostors… if it is indeed a credible point. I’m not entirely sure he won’t ask for financial help. I would like to think he wouldn’t need to, but I would “like” alot of things that will likely never manifest. Ha… so… SS, are you referring to Isaiah 48:15 in that point? =)

December 2nd, 2011 - 00:33

You lost me in much of that, I am not Jewish at least I do not think so and I am mexican so Judaism is not very familiar. I am a fourth generation American so I know no spanish, all I am saying is that when you start speaking in the gramatically correct (prohetic/biblical) language you start to lose me, but thats not your fault. So lets pretend that I lack discernment, and we cut to the chase.

God obviously revealed something to me or my eyes would be darkened as well, regardless if I was a Jew or not, you would not find me here.

So since God decided to keep me in the loop, maybe you would not mind trying to help a fellow brother out, lets pretend there is a reason he gave me the heads up.

Where is he coming from in your opinion? yes, a country suggested would be appreciated, perhaps a state or continent?

I read the SofS you suggested, maybe you can simplify this for me, I would say a Hulk Hogan but the Black Locks gave it up.

I am not being sarcastic because I do not take this stuff seriusly, I do this to show you where I am comign from in terms of culture and being really simplistic.

Call me a simpleton if you want, but lets continue.

I hear everything your saying, and I will look into this more and do a little research, and I know you dont really know all the details, but just a simple classification would be much appreciated.

i.e. Elijah will come from South America, he is alive but is waiting for orders, or perhaps his ministry has begin but its not in the spotlight, give it a few years and you will start to see and hear from him from the media and other venues

He has no cain outside of Jesus, and his mantle is equivalent to a target hoodie he got on sale, he will be very discrete but will reveal himself from time to time, do somethign awesome and cause a paradigm shift and go back to hiding, not intentionally just a safeguard by the father ind of like Jesus until the appointed time.

He will bring father back to sons by bisversa by being an example, also will travel North America and prepare the way for their the Jews return, he will have the proper connects to make this happen by that time.

Obviously I am just making this stuff up and running with it, but if you could break it down for me like this, it would bring some clarity, I for one am not about to follow some self proclaimed prophet, for many more are to come.

So thanks for the time, and your findings and one last thing.

When will enter the scene, his coming out party?

Adios,

that mexican

Hanok, yes, I am speaking of the scripture that you are referring to. This indicates that the prophet was not wealthy initially, but quite the opposite. In fact, he has had a very difficult life. Other scriptures reveal of his disillusionment with Christianity, of which he used to be a part of until Elohim called him out. At one time he even abandoned his relationship with God, showing his human weaknesses. This is why it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to remember not to idolize him when you finally get to meet him, and you will, I assure you. You are a relatively young man, probably being in your mid to late 30′s, so your natural life will not expire before he is revealed. Just continue to do what you are doing. You are profoundly gifted.

Isaac, I apologize if this is difficult for you, but I am unable to speak in a way that is conducive to your present understanding. The Josephite psalmist declares, “I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old. The word is chiylah, and it describes words, statements, and phraseologies that are enigmatic.

The clues that you are looking for are given to those who have “eyes to see” and “ears to hear”. I am not trying to be difficult or sarcastic, but I simply am not able to break it down in this way, or I would be just like everybody else that comes on here and spouts off their useless nonsense about the identity and location of the prophet. However, I assure you that I am not everybody else.

Here is what I will do for you. Search this incredible website, and whatever nation that Hanok reveals is Babylon, that is where the prophet is from. He is from the birthright nation gone wicked. Next, read Isaiah 41:2 and do a etymological study of the word “east”. You will notice that this east does NOT DESCRIBE a geographical location on a global level.

One last thing: everybody that is claiming that they are the coming Eliyahu at this present time are all liars and impostors that will have their part in the lake of fire. That it why people must be very careful to pray and search the scriptures so that they will not be deceived. Anybody that is perpetuating these venomous lies on this beloved website or anywhere else in their names as well, will also have their part in the lake of fire too.

Rudulfo, the only reliable information is the word of Elohim. Everything else is rubbish and carnal speculation. He is not from Brazil, because the scripture teaches that the eben-( rebuilder, restorer of the family name) is from a fruitful land given to the descendants of Joseph through Ephraim. Please pray and search your word!

Here is How Eliyah will restore all things (Matth 17:11), Before the coming of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus-Christ) (Mal 4:5-6; Act 3:19-21) !

(NB: All in this document is translated from French, so excuse for the approximate English)

“Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good” (1Thes 5:21)

God says in the Bible: “Do not keep the prophetic words of this book (the Bible) a secret, because the time is near.” (Rev 22:10).

With the help of the Holy Spirit (Jn 14:26; 16:13-14), God shows us today, the work Elijah has to do, just before the coming of the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord!

(A) What are the Things to be restored, according to the Bible?

1) The Kingdom of God on the earth

Since the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, God’s Kingdom governs no more the mankind.

*Gen 3: 22-23: “Then the Lord God said,’ now the man has become like one of us and has knowledge of what is good and what is bad. He must not be allowed to take fruit from the tree that gives life, eat it, and live for ever. So the lord God sent him out of the garden and made him cultivate the soil from which he had been formed.”

NB: So, God’s Kingdom has been removed from the earth after the sin of Adam; but very soon, God will restore it through His Nation which will be born in a day, like a mustard seed, after the coming of the son of man who is Elijah (Ez 2:3-5; Luke 17:22; Mal 4:5).

*Matth 13 :31,38 : « The Kingdom of the heaven is like a mustard seed that a man takes and sows in his field…The field is the world; the good seed is the people who belong to the kingdom.”,

*Isa 66:8: “Has anyone ever seen or heard of such a thing? Has a Nation ever been born in a day? Zion will not have to suffer long, before the Nation is born.”

*Dan 2:44: “At the time of those rulers the God of heaven will establish a kingdom that will never end.”

*Luke 12:32: “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom.”

*Matth 10:7,23: “Go and preach, ‘The Kingdom of heaven is near…you will not finish your work in all the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.”

NB: It’s clear here that, the Kingdom of God will come, when the Son of man, who is Elijah, will come!

The coming of God’s Kingdom is closely linked at the coming of Elijah, who must restore all things Before the day of the Lord.

2) One Language

*Gen 11:1: “At first, the people of the whole world had only one language and used the same words.”, but God mixed up their language at the Tower of Babel , so that they couldn’t understand one another (V7).

Since there, the whole world has many and many languages; but as it occurred the day of Pentecost, at the foundation of the Church of God (Act 2:1, 4), a miracle of language will happen the day the Nation of God will be born: All those of the little flock who will belong to the Nation of God, will talk only one language, the language of Millennium!:

*1 Pet 2:9-10: “But you are the chosen race, the King’s priest, the Holy Nation, God’s own people…at one time you were not God’s people, but now you are his people.”

*Hos 2 17: “I will remove from her mouth the names of Baal.”

*Zep 3:9: “Then I will give to the people – it will be a change – a pure language, so that they all pray to me, and serve me by mutual consent.” (N.W.T.)

: “On that day I will purify the lips of all the people, so ,that everyone will be able to worship the Lord together.” (N.L.T).

3) Israel ’s kingdom or the House of David

After the death of Solomon, son of David, Israel’s kingdom fell into two kingdoms, as God announced to the prophet Ahijah (1 Kings 11:29_36 ;12:12-19).

However God has promised David that, at the end of the times, one of his sons (descendants) will restore his kingdom like it was long ago:

*2 Sam 7:12-13: “When you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will make one of your sons king and will keep his kingdom strong. He will be the one to build a temple for me, and I will strengthen the throne of his kingdom for ever.”

*2 Sam 7:18-19, 25: “Then the king David went into… Lord’s presence…and prayed: ‘…yet now you are doing even more, Sovereign Lord: you have made” promises about my descendants in the years to come…And now, Lord god, fulfil for all time the promise you made about me and my descendants, and do what you said you would.”

*Am 9:11: “The Lord says: ‘A day is coming when I will restorer the kingdom of David , which is like a home fallen into ruins…? I will rebuild it and make it as it was long ago.”

*Ps 89:33-35: “I will not stop loving David or fail to keep my promise to him. I will not break my covenant with him or take back even one promise I made him. Once and for all I have promised by my, holy name: I will never lie to David.”

NB: So, the descendant of David, who will restore his kingdom at the end of the times, would only be Elijah, the son of man who will restore the kingdom of God ; because, in fact, God’s Kingdom is and will be always in the hands of David’s descendants:

*2 Chr 13:8: “Do you really think you can stand against the Lord’s kingdom that is given to David’s descendants?”

*1 Kings 28:5: “…He (the Lord) chose Solomon to rule over Israel , the Lord’s kingdom.”

So, the coming of God’s kingdom is the restoring of Israel ’s kingdom, which will be ruled, for a short time by Elijah, the son of the man, a descendant of David, until the coming of Christ.

*Zec 6:12-13: “Tell him that the Lord Almighty says, ‘Here is the man (son of man) called the Branch. He will branch out where he is and build the Temple of Lord . He will build the Lord’s Temple and receive royal honour, and will rule as a king from his throne. He will also serve as a priest from his throne, and there will be perfect harmony between the two.”

NB: Elijah, the son of man, the descendant of David, will be both king and priest; he will hold two offices that must not get interruption:

*Jer 33:17-18: “I, the Lord, promise that there will always be a descendant of David to be a king of Israel and that there will always be priests from the tribe of Levi to serve me…?”

NB: The throne of David is at the present time occupied by Queen Elisabeth II of England (Ephraim), and the Stone of crowning is in Scotland .

The Bible predicts a fourth and last reversal of this throne at the end of the times:

*Isa 28:1-3: “Ephraim (the kingdom of Israel ) is doomed! Its glory is fading like the crowns of flowers on the heads of its drunken leaders…The Lord has someone strong and powerful…who will come like a hailstorm… The pride of those drunken leaders (of Ephraim) will be trampled underfoot.”

*Jer 13:18: “Say to the king and his mother, ‘Come down from your thrones and sit in the dust, for your crowns will soon be snatched from your heads.”

*Ez 21:26-27: “I, the Sovereign Lord, have spoken. Take off your crown and your turban. Nothing will be the same again. Raise the poor to power! Bring down those who are ruling! Ruin, ruin! But this will not happen until the one whom I have chosen…Then I will giver it to him.”.

NB: So, the throne of England (Ephraim), which is David’s throne, will be given for a moment to a man, Elijah (Zec 6:12-13) before Christ comes and takes it definitively (Luke 1:32-33).

This throne of David will be snatched from England , and given to the descendant of David, Elijah, who will sit on it at the Safety Place , in the upper mountains of Galilea, especially in Mount Hermon :

*Ez 34:11-14: “I, the Sovereign Lord, tell you that I myself will look for my sheep and take ca re of them…I will bring them back from all the places where they were scattered… I will…gather them together… I will let them graze in safety in the mountains…and in all the green pastures of the land of Israel .”

*Ex 15:13-17: “Faithful to your promise, you led the people you had rescued…you bring them in and plant them on your mountain, the place that you, Lord, have chosen for your home…”

*Joel 2:31-32: “…Before the great and terrible day of the Lord arrives…there will be people on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem who escape.”

*Isa 4:5-6: “Then over Mount Zion and over all who are gathered there, the Lord will send a cloud in the daytime and smoke and bright flame at night…covering the glorious land…It will be a shelter from daytime heat and a place of safety from storms and rain.”

*Ps 133: “How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God’s people to live together in harmony! It is like the dew on Mount Hermon, falling on the hills of Zion . That where the Lord has promised his blessing – life that never ends.”

*Isa 65:9: “I will arise from Jacob descendants and from Judah an heir of my mountains; and my chosen people will possess my land of mountains.”

NB: The Bible is very clear today! God’s Nation which will be born in a day will go to the Safety Place on Mount Hermon in Galilea, before the Great Tribulation, and will be led and ruled by Elijah, a physical descendant of David, until Jesus comes and establishes the millennium Reign on earth!

Salvation (God’s Kingdom) will be on Mount Zion , that is Mount Hermon (De 4:48), because God’s Nation will stay there; and in Jerusalem , because the Two Witnesses (Representatives of God’s Nation) will be there, during the Great Tribulation (Rev 11:3-8).

4) The Temple of God or Church of God

The introduction in the Church of God of pagan doctrines, especially the Trinity by false ministers, has been the main cause of dispersal in the Church of God , after the death of M. Armstrong, the messenger of Philadelphia Era (Rev 3:7).

The Good News about the coming of God’s Kingdom on earth, has been preached by him – as testimony- (Matth 24:14).

After his death, here is what was to happen shortly afterwards, before the coming of God’s Kingdom:

*Matth 24:15: “You will see the abomination of desolation…standing in the Holy Place – reader, understand what this means.”

*Ez 34:5-6: “Because the sheep had no shepherd (M. Armstrong), they were scattered…They were scattered over the face of the earth.”

*1 Tim 4:1: “The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons.”

*2 Tim 4:3-4: “The time will come when people will not listen the sound doctrine, but will follow their own desires and will collect for themselves more and more teachers (ministers) who will tell them what they are itching to hear. They will turn away from listening to the truth and give their attention to legends (pagan myths).”

*2 Pet 2:1-2: “False prophets appeared in the past among the people (physical Israel ), and in the same way false teachers (ministers) will appear among you ( Church of God ). They will bring in destructive, untrue doctrines…Many will follow their immoral ways; and because of what they do, others will speak evil of the way of truth.”

*2 Thes 2:2-3: “Not to be easily confused in your thinking or upset by the claim that the day of the Lord has come…for the day will not come until the apostasy takes place.”

NB: The rejection of what one has first believed (apostasy), was to happen in the Church of God after the death of M. Armstrong, and before the day of the Lord (2 Thes 2:2-3).

Meanwhile, God says in the Bible that, He will sent Elijah to restore all things before the day of the Lord (Mal 4:5; Matth 17:11.

All this shows clearly that the Temple of God (the Church), which is today lying in ruins, abandoned, after the death of M. Armstrong (Hag 1:4,9; 2:3 ;Matth 23:38-39 ;Luke 13:35), will be restored on its foundation (2 Tim 2:19 ;Hag 2:23), by Elijah, who is the son of man and the descendant of David (Zec 6:12-13 ;2 Sam 7:12-13).

It is in that spiritual Temple rebuilt by Elijah (Luke 1:16-17), that Christ will enter in his coming and our meeting with him (Mal 3:1; 2 Thes 2:1)

Christ cannot come today in an abandoned Temple , whose members are scattered (Hag 1:4, 9; Ez 34:5). He must remain in heaven until Elijah comes and prepares a people very ready to him (Mal 4:6; Luke 1:16-17; Act 3:20-21), that is to say, a glory church – pure and faultiness, without a spot or wrinkle or any other imperfection (Eph 5:27).

5) Revelation of All that is hidden in the Bible

*Rev 22:10: “Do not keep the prophetic words of this book (Bible) a secret, because the time is near.”

*Luke 8:17: “For whatever is hidden away will be brought out into the open and whatever is covered up will be found and brought to light.”

NB: So, everything that is sealed or secret in the Word of God must be brought to light for the last time, before the day of the Lord.

*Isa 44:28: “When I say of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd! He will certainly do what I say. He will command that Jerusalem be rebuilt and that the Temple (the Church) be restored.”

*Isa 45:1-3, 6: “That is what the Lord says to Cyrus, his anointed one, whose right hand he will empower…I will smash down gates…And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness – secret riches…so all the world from east to west will know there is no other God. I am the Lord, and there’s no other.”

NB: Cyrus means = The Last time, or the Last time of God, or the Latest of God.

So, Cyrus, who is an anointed of God, and sent in the end of the times to rebuild and restore the Temple of God (the Church), is no one else than Elijah who must come to restore all things before the day of the Lord; and so, all that is hidden or secret in the Bible will be brought to light by Elijah, who is the spiritual Cyrus, because God will open all the doors to him, and they will never be shut again (Isa 45:2 ;Rev 3:7).

God’s secrets which are hidden in the prophetic Scriptures, will be totally revealed as God has commanded (Rev 22:10), and will be brought to all nations by Elijah, before the day of the Lord (Joel 2:1 ;Rom 16:25-26 ;Mal 4:5-6).

(B) The Prophetic Figures (Roles) of Elijah

The Bible says that God will send a man in this end of the times to restore all things, and fulfil all his Will (Isa 44:28); that man is Elijah, the prophet, who will hold several prophetic positions to accomplish his mission. God always works through (a mouth of) a man or son of man (Act 15:7 ;2 Sam 23:2 ;Isa 50:10 ;Mal 2:7 ;2 Pet 1:21):

1) The Son of man (Luke 17:22)

*Ez 7:2-3, 6-7: “Son of man, this is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel : The end is here! Wherever you look – east, west, north, or south – your land is finished…I will unleash my anger against you…The end has come…The time has come, the day of trouble is near…”

*Ez 2:3, 5: “Son of man he said, ‘I am sending you to the nation of Israel …And whether they listen or not…at least they will know they have had a prophet among them.”

*Mal 4:5: “Look, I am sending you (people of Israel ) the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord.” (See Mal 1:1).

NB: The son of the man, a prophet who is sent by God to the spiritual Israelites at the endtime, before the day of the Lord, and Elijah, the prophet who is also sent by God to those Israelites, are the only and the same person.

It is why Jesus said that, Elijah who will come to restore all things, should first suffer much as the son of man, and be rejected, and die in this generation of the end (Mark 9:12; Luke 17:25; Job 14:13); then, God will raise him from the dead to the physical life, to fulfil his mission (Ps 30:2-3; 40:1-3; Matth 24:27):

*Luke 17:24: “For when the Son of man returns (in physical life), you will know it beyond all doubt. It will be as evident as the lightning that flashes across the sky.”

2) Cyrus (Isa 44:28)

Cyrus, as it has been said, means the Latest of God or the Last time of God. Because, for the last time, God will restore all things and warn the whole world before his terrible day comes.

We have seen that all things in the Bible will be brought to light by Cyrus (Isa 45:1, 3), who will also rebuilt God’s Temple (Isa 44:28). So, Cyrus is no one else than Elijah who will rebuild the spiritual Temple , in which Christ will enter at his coming –Mal 3:1; 4:5; Luke 1:17).

3) Joshuah (Zec 3)

*Zec 3:8: “Listen to me, O Josuah the high priest…Soon I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.”

*Zec 6:12: “…Here is a man (son of man) called the Branch. He will branch out where he is and build the temple of the Lord.”

NB: God will rise up and bring in the forefront, a man or son of man who will be a high priest, and will build God’s Temple . That son of man is called Josuah!

So, the son of man, Elijah will hold the position of spiritual Josuah, the high priest who will build God’s Temple; and, as his physical namesake, who led the physical Israel across the Jordan River into Canaan (the land of promised), the spiritual Josuah who is Elijah will lead the spiritual people of God into the Safety Place in Galilea!

4) The Descendant of David (2 Sam 7:12-13)

We have proved above that the descendant of David, who will rebuild his kingdom (Am 9:11), is Elijah, the son of man who will restore all things and bring the kingdom of God (Matth 17:11; 10:7, 23).

Since the kingdom of God is led by the sons of David (1 Chr 28:5 ;2 Chr 13:8), the descendant of David who will restore his kingdom, and Elijah the son of man ,who will bring the Kingdom of God, are the same and only one person!

5) The second Blacksmith and the second Angel or Messenger (Zec 1:20-21; Rev 14:8; 18:1-2)

The Bible clearly speaks of four (4) Blacksmiths or God’s servants, who will come at the end of the times, in order to throw down Babylon (Zec 1:20-21):

– The First Blacksmith: is the first Angel or messenger of Revelation 14:6-7; his work corresponds to what Christ foretold to his disciples: “This Good News about the Kingdom will be preached through all the world for a witness to all mankind; and then the end will come.” (Matth 24:14).

This first messenger of God at this endtime was M. Armstrong, the spiritual Moses (Mal 4:4), and the spiritual Zerubbabel (Zec 4:9-10), who has preached at the Philadelphia Era, as testimony, the Good News of the coming of God’s Kingdom on earth. The mission God gave him came to its end on 16th January 1986, the day he died (Rev 3:7; Isa 48:3, 6-7).

– The Second Blacksmith: is the second Angel or Messenger of Revelation 14:8; 18:1-2).

Since the end was to come after the mission of testimony of the first messenger, M. Armstrong (Matth 24:14), it means that the next verse (Matth 24:15), marks the beginning of that end:

*Matth 24:15: “The time will come when you will see…the sacrilegious object that causes desecration standing in the Holy Place –reader understand what this means.”

NB: So, after the Good News of the coming of God’s Kingdom had been preached all over the world, as testimony by M.Armstrong, pagan doctrines, whose main is the Trinity, were introduced by M. Tkach in the Church of God, which is the Holy Place (Eph 5:27); this situation caused the apostasy and the desolation which scattered God’s people (2 Thes 2:3; Ez 34:5-6).

Before the fall of Babylon and the day of the Lord, God will send his second messenger or servant to prepare to the Lord, a people ready for him, gathered and not scattered:

*Rev 14:8: “Then a second angel followed the first one, saying: “She has fallen! Great Babylon has fallen!” (See also Rev 18:1-2).

*Mal 4:5: “Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the lord arrives…”

*Luke 1:16-17: “And he will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God…he will turn disobedient people back to the way of thinking of the righteous; he will get the Lord’s people ready for him.”

NB: So, the second Angel or messenger of Revelation 14:8 and 18:1-2, is no one else than Elijah, the son of man, who will warn people of the fall of Babylon , and ask God’s people to come out from her (Ez 7:2; Joel 2:1; Rev 18:2, 4).

– The Third and Fourth Blacksmiths: are the Third Angel of Revelation 14:9-10. We only see one angel instead of two, because one of them (Rev 11:3-12), will be the Spokesman of the Duo, as Aaron and Moses (Ex 4:14-16; 7:1-2; Am 3:3; Ecc 4:9-12), as Theos (the Father) and Logos (Christ) – John 1:1-3. They will be the Representatives of God’s Nation during the Great Tribulation.

In conclusion, the second Blacksmith of Zechariah 1:20-21, the second Angel of Rev.14:8 and 18:1-2, are no one else than Elijah, who will come before the Great Tribulation and the Fall of Babylon to warn the whole world and bring God’s Kingdom!

(C) The Mission of Elijah has Two Stages

Taking about the descendant of David who will restore his Kingdom, God has said:

*2 Sam 7:12-15, 19: “I will raise up one of your descendants…He is the one who will build a house (a Temple) for my name…If he sins, I will punish him as a father punishes his son…But my unfailing love will not be taken from him…Sovereign Lord; you have made promises about my descendants in the years to come.”

*Isa 57:17-18: “I was angry with them (him) because of their (his) sin and greed, and so I punished them (him) and abandoned them (him)…I have seen how they (he) acted, but I will heal them (him). I will lead them (him) and help them (him)…” – In the Bible in French, it’s a person (in the singular), and not several persons (in the plural)!

*Ps 118:17-18: “I will not die, but I will live to tell what the Lord has done. The Lord has punished me severely, but he has not handed me over the death.”

NB: According to the prophecy about the house of David at the end of the times, and according to the typology (foreshadowing of events to come) which is frequently woven through the Psalms of David (2 Sam 23:2,5), we are here in the face of a descendant of David that God will punish by a disease (2 Sam 7:14 ;Isa57:17), but God will heal him (Jer 33:6 ;Isa 57:18), because God supports him (2 Sam 7:15).

But how God will heal him?

*Job 14:13: “I wish you would hide me in the world of the dead; let me hidden until your anger is over, and then set a time to remember me.”

*Ps 30:2-3: “I cried to you for help, O Lord my God, and you healed me; you brought me up from the grave, O Lord. I was on my way to the world of the dead, but you restored my life.”

*Ps 40:1-3: “I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He pulled me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground (rock) and steadied me as I walked along…Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the Lord.”

NB: So, God will heal the descendant of David that he has punished, by a resurrection to the physical life; this means clearly that he was died before, owing to the disease God inflicted on him!

Job’s prayer (cry) foreshadowed the physical suffering that the descendant of David had to endure before his dead, and his return in physical life. The prayer of Job was a prophecy for the time of the end, for today!

It’s clear that all those verses above concerning the descendant of David cannot be applied to Job, or to David himself, and nor to Jesus, another descendant of David; that is why:

– Job healed from his disease, without passing through the death (Job 42:10)

– David didn’t die from disease (1 Kings 2:10; 1 Chr 29:28)

– Jesus was never sick, and didn’t die from sickness (Jn 19:17-18.)

To sum up, the descendant of David who will restore his kingdom at the end of the times, had to suffer much like Job and die; but he will return soon in the physical life, to fulfil the second part of his mission, at the time set by God!

The Bible shows clearly the two stages of the mission of Elijah at the end of the times, throughout the prophetic persons he will represent:

– Primo = First stage – First appearance – First fulfilment

– Pause = Absence in the scene

– Segundo = Second stage – Second appearance – Last fulfilment

1) As the Son of man

NB: Jesus is not yet the Son of man since his resurrection from the death (Rom 1:3-4; 2 Cor 5:16; Jn 3:6; 1 Cor 15:50).

a) – Primo: He must first suffer must, be rejected and his message scorned (Mark 9:12; Luke 17:25)

– Pause: He must disappear for a moment (2 Thes 2:7)

b) – Segundo: He will rise from his hiding-place (Job 14:13; Ps 30:2-3). He will be revealed (Luke 17:30), and his day (Luke 17:24) will be the starting point of a worldwide upheaval, as it was in the times of Noah and Lot (Luke 17:26-29)

c) – Primo:

*Undermined by the sickness, he won’t be able to warn the spiritual Israelites, but whenever God gives him a message, he loosens his tongue and lets him speak (Ez 3:26-27)

*Because of his sickness, he must be retained in the house, so he cannot go out among the people of God (Ez 3:24-25)

– Pause

d) – Segundo:

*At a day set by God, he will get back the power of speech which he had lost, and he will talk again. He wile be a sign to the people (Ez 24:26-27)

*In this day, he will not be tied again, he will stand up, and God will send him this time, to the spiritual Israelites, and they will know that a prophet is among them (Ez 2:1-5 ;Ps 40:3 ;Isa 29:23-24).

2) As the Spiritual Josuah

– Primo: He is a high priest, but he wears filthy clothes of the laodicean ‘own-way’ (Zec 3:3 ;Rev 3:17); he must be striped of this condition by a physical (severe) punishment, inflicted by God (Zec 3:4 ;Isa 57:17 ;Rev 3:18 ;Ez 3:24-27), and then, he must wear new clothes of God’s understanding and Justice (Zec 3:5)

– Pause

– Segundo: At a day set by God, he will germinate (appear, rise from dead) with great authority to rebuild God’s Temple (Zec 6:10-13).

3) As the Second Angel (Blacksmith-Messenger)

– Primo: He says (preaches): “She has fallen! Great Babylon has fallen”, in an undertone, like a murmur (Rev 14:8), in contrary to the first and third angels who say (preache) their messages in a loud voice (Rev 14:7, 9)

– Pause

– Segundo: In Revelation 18:1-2, the angel who comes down from heaven with great authority, preaches in a loud voice, the same message that the angel of Revelation 14:8 has preached in undertone: “She has fallen! Great Babylon has fallen!”

To sum up, we see clearly that the angel of Revelation 14, and the one of Revelation 18, are the same messenger, because they have the same message, but which is only proclaimed in two different lapses of time, and with a different density or tone: firstly in an undertone – secondly in a loud voice.

This shows clearly that the angel of Rev 14 has disappeared at a certain moment, before coming back in the forefront with great authority (Rev 18:1-2).

4) As the Descendant of David

– Primo: He is a shepherd, but he is punished by God (2 Sam 7:14; Isa 57:17; Ps 118:18; Jer 17:16), and rejected by people (Ps 118:22)

– Pause: He is hidden by God in the grave (Job 14:13; Isa 49:1-3)

– Segundo: He is saved and healed by God (Ps ,118:14-17 ;Isa 57:18 ;Jer 33:6), who bring him back to the physical life, at a day set by him (Ps 30:2-3 ;40:1-2 ;118:23-24), so that he restores the kingdom of David (2 Sam 7:12-13 ;Am 9:11).

5) As Cyrus (the last time)

– Primo: He is sent by God to announce the birth of God’s Nation (Isa 44:26; 66:7-8). God gives him new revelations which are treasures hidden in the darkness (Isa 45:3; Matth 13:44; Isa 48:6-7). He passes it on the Laodiceans who are in captivity in Babylon today (Ez 11:24-25) – They reject the message and the messenger!

– Pause

– Segundo: The earth will open wide, so he returns in physical life; it will be like childbirth (Isa 45:8; 66:7), so that the entire world, from east to west will know there is no other God (Isa 45:6). He will rise from the dead to rebuild Jerusalem and restore the Temple ( Church of God ) – (Isa 44:28; 45:13).

(D) From what we know now, Can we Identify Elijah today?

1) M. Armstrong was not Elijah to come

M. Armstrong, the first messenger or servant of God at this end of the times could not be Elijah, because:

– He came before Laodicea Era which has brought Apostasy in the Church of God (Rev 3:10 ;2 Thes 2:3 ;1 Tim 4:1 ;2 Tim 4:3-4 ;Mathh 24:15), and caused the dispersal of God’s people, after his dead (Ez 34:5-6 ;2 Pet 2:1-2 ;Act 20:29-30).

– He didn’t prepare to God a people ready to him, not scattered, as Elijah to come will do it (Luke 1:16-17)

– He has revived the Church of God in Babylon (Rev 3:1-2, 7-8), but he didn’t bring it out of Babylon , as Elijah to come will do it, before the day of the Lord (Joel 2:1; Rev 18:1-4; Luke 1:16-17)

– He didn’t restore the kingdom of David , as Elijah to come, a descendant of David will do it (2 Sam 7:12-13; Am 9:11).

In short, M. Armstrong was not Elijah to come; on the contrary, he was the spiritual Moses who has restored the Law in the Church (Mal 4:4), the spiritual Zerubbabel who has built the spiritual Temple of God (the Church) in this end of the times (Zec 4:9-10), and the Angel or Messenger who has preached, as testimony, the Good News of the establishment of God’s Kingdom on the earth (Matth 24:14 ;Rev 14:6-7), by Elijah (Matth 17:11 ;Act 3:20-21).

NB: Even in the Jewish Canon, Moses represents the Law, and Elijah the Prophecy. The salvation comes from the Jews (Jn 4:22).

Moses cannot be Elijah and vice-versa; so, the endtime Moses (Mal 4:4) cannot be at the same time the endtime Elijah (Mal 4:5-6)!

Moreover, a space of time separates their arrivals on the scene:

- The first has come before Laodicean Era (Rev 3:7) to build the endtime Church of God (Zec 4:9-10), and to restore the law in the Church (Mal 4:4),

- The second will come soon in this laodicean era, before the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord (Mal 4:5-6; Matth 17:11), to get the Lord’s people ready for him (Luke 1:16-17), because God’s people were scattered after the death of the spiritual Moses (HWA) –Ez 34:5.

2) Who is Elijah today?

Taking about Cyrus, another representation of Elijah, here what God says:

*Isa 45:3: “…I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness – secret riches. I will do this so you may know I am the lord…who calls you by name.”

*Isa 49:1: “…The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name.”

NB: If God calls Cyrus (Elijah) by name, that name must be mentioned in the Bible!

Taking about the Prince of Tyre, a representation of the Man of sin, who will also come before the day of the Lord (2 Thes2:2-4), God says:

*Ez 28:1-3: “…Son of man (Elijah), give the Prince of Tyre this message from the Sovereign Lord: In your great pride you claim: ‘I am God! I sit on a divine throne…you boast that you are like a god. You think you are wiser than Daniel, that no secret can be kept from you!”

NB: A dead cannot talk to a living (Ecc 9:5,10); so, the son of man who will talk to the man of sin or Price of Tyre, and to the spiritual Israelites (Ez 2:3-5), will be a living, after his return in physical life (Ps 30:2-3 ;40:1-2 ;Luke 17:30).His name in the Bible is Daniel (Ez 28:3).

The prince of tyre, the man of sin, will regard himself wiser and representative than Daniel, the son of man that God will send (Ez 2:3-5; 28:2).

So, two forces or supermen will be in the forefront before the day of the Lord: the son of man, Elijah the prophet (Ez 2:3-5; Mal 4:5), and the man of sin, prince of Tyre the false prophet (2 Thes 2:3-4):

- The Man of the sin, the False prophet: will represent Satan, the devil (2 Thes 2:8-11 ;Rev 13:11-17)

- The Son of man, Elijah the prophet: will represent God (Ez 2:3-5; Mal 4:5; Matth 17:11).

Daniel, the son of man named by God, who will talk to the man of sin at this endtime, cannot be Daniel the prophet of the Old Testament, who died long time ago, and is still waiting in the grave, the resurrection of the saints (Dan 12:9,13 ;Heb 11:39-40).

Daniel, the son of man who is Elijah, is also the descendant or son of David; his name, then, is literally: “Daniel-Son of David” or “Daniel Dawson”, as God has called him before his birth (Isa 49:1; 45:3-4).

Jesus, another descendant of David, was also called: Jesus-Son of David ( Dawson ) – (Matth 15:22; 20:30-31; Mark 10:47-48; Luke 1:32; 18:38-39).

So, the name of Elijah to come is DANIEL DAWSON (Judge of God-Son of David)!

CONCLUSION

Some people (the Jews), in the first century didn’t accept a truth that Hebrew Scriptures revealed clearly: the Identity of the Messiah. Jesus of Nazareth had complied with all criterions, fulfilled all the prophecies on him.

However, a thickstring of lies and preconceived ideas stopped many of his compatriots understanding the Word of God (Rom 10:2-3; Eph 4:18).

It’s the same thing today (1 Cor 10:11).The spiritual Jews of the end of the times, refuse to admit that, after the dead of M. Armstrong, Elijah who is the son of man, will come before the day of the Lord, and before the advent of Christ, to restore all things (Mal 4:5 ;Matth 17:11 ;Act 3:20-21).

It is important to read the Bible without preconceived ideas, because as a veil, they darken the understanding and the intelligence of biblical truths (2 Cor 4:3-4)

We must take example of the people of Berea, who listened to the message with great eagerness, and searched the scriptures day after day to see if what Paul preached was really true (Act 17:11 ;Jn 17:17 ;1 Thes 5:21).

The Bible declares clearly that the son of man, Elijah and descendant of David who will come at the end of the times, before the day of the Lord:

- Had to suffer much physically and be rejected (Ps 118:18, 22 ;Luke 17:25)

- Had to die, after suffering much (Job 14:13 ;2 Thes 2:7)

- Will return in physical life by resurrection Ps 30:2-3; 40:1-2; 118:23-24; Isa 45:6, 8; 52:10; Zec 6:12).

But Jesus himself has predicted that, some people will remain hermetic to God’s Truths and Revelations “Even if someone were to rise from death” (Ez 2:5; Luke 16:30-31). So, when the son of man will rise from death, other people will say that he is a devil embodied (Hos 9:7; Matth 10:25).

On the other hand, many of God’s people will wake up; when they see this miracle occurred, because they have taken seriously this warning and testimony:

*Ps 40:3: “…Many who see this will take warning and will put their trust in the Lord.”

*Isa 29:23-24: “When his (Jacob) sons see among them the work of my hands, they will recognize the Holiness of the Holy one of Israel . They will stand in awe of the Lord of Israel . Those in error will then believe truth, and those who constantly complain will accept instruction.” – “They will know that a prophet has been among them.” (Ez 2:5)

So, it is urgent that we come out from our Laodicean attitude, and anoint our eyes, in order to recognize God throughout his Work (Rev 3:18).

God doesn’t look at the flesh, he uses His Spirit to do His Work with the man that he wants and chooses (Rom 1:14; 1 Cor 12:13; Gal 3:27-29), as he has predicted before the creation of the world:

*Isa 37:26: “Have you never heard that I planned all this long ago? And now I have carried it out…”

*Heb 12:25: “Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. Those who refused to hear the one who gave the divine message on earth did not escape.”
