Bible Question: Was Elijah John the Baptist in the new testiment |
Bible Answer: Greetings! Consider the following scripture (Jesus testimony concerning the identity of John the Baptist): Matt 11:2 Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples Matt 11:3 and said to Him, "Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?" Matt 11:4 Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see: Matt 11:5 the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM. Matt 11:6 "And blessed is he who does not take offense at Me." Matt 11:7 As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? Matt 11:8 "But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who wear soft clothing are in kings' palaces! Matt 11:9 "But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet. Matt 11:10 "This is the one about whom it is written, 'BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.' Matt 11:11 "Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matt 11:12 "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force. Matt 11:13 "For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John. Matt 11:14 "And if you are willing to accept it, John himself is Elijah who was to come. Matt 11:15 "He who has ears to hear, let him hear. Blessings! prazn |
