The Return of Eliyah the Prophet

In the Jewish tradition of old, the Messiah was believed to be preceded by Eliyah the prophet. That is one of the reason the Jews did not believed Messiah Yahshuo has being the Messiah, they did not see Eliyah. But Yahushuo our Lord is clear, Eliyah must return and must put everything back in order. Our Lord also says that Eliyah has already return in the power of the Ruah holy manifested through the last prophet before the Messiah, in John the Baptist, for it is written:

10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Eliyah must come first?”
11 Yahushuo answered and said to them, “Truly, Eliyah is coming first and will restore all things. 12 But I say to you that Eliyah has come already, and they did not acknowledge him but did to him whatever they wished. In the same manner, the son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist. (Matthew 17)


Here Yahshuo answers twofold. 


First he says: “Indeed, Eliyah is coming first and will restore all things.


Second he says: But I say to you that Eliyah has come already, and they did not acknowledge him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.”


The first answer pertains to Eliyah coming before Yahushuo the Messiah return in glory.
The second answer pertains to Eliyah having come in the time of grace, where Yahshuo the Messiah suffered his passion to save us and give us his grace.

Pertaining to John the Baptist being a type of Eliyah, it is confirmed also in the gospel of Luke:

He shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord God Himself. 17 He shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Eliyah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” (Luke 1)

Pertaining now to the Eliyah to come before the return of the Messiah Yahushuo, holy scriptures announce his coming in the Revelation of John, chapter 11:

3 And I will give to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy days a thousand two hundred and sixty, having all around thrown sacks. 4 These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands those in the presence of the Lord of the land having stood. 5 Also if anyone wants to do wrong to them, fire comes forth out of their mouth and devours their enemies; then anyone would want them hurt, thus it is necessary for him to be killed. 6 These have authority to shut the heaven, so that no rain may fall the days of their prophecy, and authority they have over waters to turn them into blood so to strike the land within every wound, as often as they may desire. (Revelation, ch. 11)

The figure of Eliyah the prophet will be determinant in the great battle between the forces of the anti-messiah and the forces of Light. The battle is the world and the living souls that will choose either side. For the men and women in the middle will have to take action between life eternal or a glimpse of a demonic dominion that will give ground for the emergence of the kingdom of Israel. 

This blog will be dedicated to the teaching and proclamation of the great mystery of the coming kingdom to Israel and the triumph of Yerushala'im.
