Bible Question: Old testment references relating to questions John 19-21,having a hard time understanding and finding out the Old Testment relating to?????Thanks |
Bible Answer: sweet, The questions to John the Baptist were related to a Jewish tradition that Elijah (Malachi 3:23 or 4:5 depending on your version)would return at the time of the Messiah. There was also the concept of a prophet like Moses coming (Duet 18:15). To this day when Jews celebrate Passover they leave a cup of wine on the table for Elijah and the door open in case he returns.
