In this in-depth Bible explanation, Pastor Mike walks through Mark 9:12, Malachi 4, Matthew 11, and Luke 1 to answer a fascinating end-times question: Does Elijah still need to come, and could he be one of the two witnesses in Revelation? Pastor Mike explains how John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah, how Israel’s rejection of the kingdom affects this prophecy, and why Scripture points to a future Elijah-like ministry before the great and terrible Day of the Lord. This teaching connects the first and second comings of Christ and helps clarify how prophecy unfolds in stages according to God’s redemptive plan.
