Malachi Prophecy

¹ For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
² But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness [Jesus!] arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth [continue on], and grow up as calves of the stall [protected].
³ And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
⁴ Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
⁵ Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
⁶ And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

¹⁶ And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
¹⁷ And he shall go before Him [Jesus] in the spirit and power of Elias [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.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return to God who gave it.

¹⁰ For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
¹⁴ And if ye will receive it, this is Elias [Elijah], which was for to come.

¹⁹ And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
²⁰ And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
²¹ And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias [Elijah]? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
²² Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
²³ He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
¹⁰ And His disciples asked Him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
¹¹ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias [Elijah] truly shall first come, and restore all things.
¹² But I say unto you, That Elias [Elijah] is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
¹³ Then the disciples understood that He spake unto them of John the Baptist.

⁹ And as they came down from the mountain, He charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
¹⁰ And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
¹¹ And they asked Him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
¹² And He answered and told them, Elias [Elijah] verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
¹³ But I say unto you, That Elias [Elijah] is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
