Mal 4:5-6 ESV
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”
Mar 9:11-13
And they asked him, “Why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” And he said to them, “Elijah does come first to restore all things. And how is it written of the Son of Man that he should suffer many things and be treated with contempt? But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they pleased, as it is written of him.”
Elijah is said to come before the great and awesome day of The Lord. Jesus says the day has already come. John came first to prepare the way of the Lord. Jesus came to fulfill the day of The Lord and to set the captives free.
The star over Bethlehem pierced the darkness of the night and its light continues to grow in the children of God, the body of Christ. That light shines into the ends of the earth.
