Thematic Bible: Called the "forerunner" of Christ


Thematic Bible



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

“See, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. Then the Lord you seek will suddenly come to His temple, the Messenger of the covenant you desire—see, He is coming,” says the Lord of Hosts.

This is the one it is written about:

Look, I am sending My messenger ahead of You;
he will prepare Your way before You.

And child, you will be called
a prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord
to prepare His ways,
