Bible Question:
What is this piece of scripture trying to tell us....I don't get it. Matthew 11: 14-15 14And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. 15He who has ears, let him hear. |
Bible Answer: schimc, John came "in the spirit and power of Elijah." Luke 1:17. Jesus sees this as the fullfillment of the prophecy of Malichi 3:1, 23-24. See Matt 3:3, Isaiah 40:3, Matt 17:10-12. In John 1:21, John himself says he is not Elijah, which leaves only "the spirit and power of Elijah" as the correct understanding. Emmaus |
