Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

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.

For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

But I say unto you, That Elias 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.

Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.

The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.

And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?

But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, 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.

And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.

And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

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.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
