NASB | Luke 1:17 "It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 1:17 "It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous [which is to seek and submit to the will of God]--in order to make ready a people [perfectly] prepared [spiritually and morally] for the Lord." [Is 40:3; Mal 4:5, 6] |
Bible Question: Why, in John 1:25, do they associate John's authority to Baptize with the Christ, the Prophet, or Elijah? Is there Old Testament scripture that speaks of this? Or historical information that indicates that only the Christ, Prophet, or Elijah had such authority? |
Bible Answer: John being filled with the Holy Spirit from his birth(Luke 1:15)did not attend the schools to study under the Pharisees and they wanted to know who gave him this authority...or who he was...in the Old Testament you will find these scriptures Mal.4:5,6 refering to Elijah... Deuteronomy 18:15,18 refering to Christ or the Prophet...and please look at John 4:25...John never said that he was anything but a VOICE but Jesus said in Mat.11:11-14 that John was Elijah also please look at Luke 1:17 which shows that John was in the Spirit of Elijah or Elias which is the same as Elijah... I hope this helps you some...may God Bless you MOTHERPHILO and keep studying your doing a great job |
