Behold, I send forth My messenger, and he shall survey the way before Me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come into His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom you take pleasure in: behold, He is coming, says the Lord Almighty.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight the paths of our God.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, the [one] who is about to come.

And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they desired. Thus also the Son of Man is about to suffer by them."

Some of those standing [by], when they heard this, said, "This [Man] is calling Elijah!"

But the rest said, "Leave [Him] alone; let us see if Elijah is coming to save Him."

And they asked Him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

But I say to you that indeed Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written concerning him."

And he himself will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."

But what have you gone out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and much more than a prophet.

"For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater [than] he."

And behold, two men were talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,

And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" He said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."

And they asked him, saying, "Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

For behold, a day comes burning as an oven, and it shall consume them; and all the aliens, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that is coming shall set them on fire, says the Lord Almighty, and there shall not be left of them root or branch.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.

And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

The sun shall be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome Day of the Lord.

For the great day of His wrath has come, and who shall be able to stand?"
