Behold, I send My messenger, and He will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the Covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He comes, says Jehovah of Hosts.

The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is 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 know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer under them.

Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, This Man calls for Elijah.

The rest said, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.

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

But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.

He will also 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 just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

But what did you go 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 Immerser. But he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

And behold, two men talked 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 immerse if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?

For, behold, the day is coming, burning like a fire pot; and all the proud and everyone that does wickedness shall be chaff. And the coming day will set them ablaze, says Jehovah of Hosts, which will not leave to them root or branch.

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

I will present wonders in the heavens above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

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

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