Message 64:9
Let the faithful rejoice for I come at the Lord’s command for the Lord has heard their prayers and will bless.
The messenger comes because God sends him. He will come again until the work is finished. We should be thankful for the messages that we have to help guild us in our walk with Christ and be praying for the ones yet to come. God listens to his people. He will send his messenger back when he is ready. All we have to do is prepare ourselves to do his will.

Malachi 4:5-6:
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 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.”
God promises in again that he is going to send his messenger. You will notice that he said that the messenger will come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord. This day is the judgment day. This day did not occur when Christ came the first time, so it must refer to the second coming of Christ.

Malachi 3: 1-4
“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. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.”
God told us that he was going to send a messenger to prepare the way for Christ’s second coming. Notice he said the messenger was going to cleanse the Son’s of Levi, and that Christ will suddenly appear. This did not happen the first time, so it must happen the second.

Message 73:1-4
“Write the message I will give you. Take heed the words I speak, for I speak the Lord’s words and will. The Lord your God has sent me in the past and I will yet come in the future. I come now with a message. I am the Messenger of the Lord, the forerunner of the Christ that will come for his own. All those that love his appearing shall find rest and peace with him. I am John the Baptist, the Elias, which was for to come. I come at the Lord’s appointing. I am the Branch; he that shall prune, refine and purify all that may dwell in the presence of the Lord and King of kings. I bring peace like a river and the flowing stream of joy and life to all that heed and obey. I come that the plan might be fulfilled and great peace established.
Here the messenger does a great job of telling us what his mission is and where he comes from. John is here to tell us the words of God. These are words of encouragement and instruction. They tell us what we need to do and give us the assurance to do it. Let us follow these instructions and apply them to our daily lives.

Malachi 3:1-5
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. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
God said that he was going to send his messenger before the second coming of Christ. Wither you believe it or listen to it or not is up to you, but the idea is not debatable. God promised he would do it, and he will do it. The Church of Christ with the Elijah Message is the group of people who believe that the messenger is coming to earth as promised from God, and are following his commandments. Do you believe that has kept his promise?

Message 64:2-3
Will the people heed the warning and obey the instructions I bring from the Lord, your God, that there may be a bride prepared and the way of deliverance established, that mankind may learn of the way of the Lord, his words, in these last days. The Lord has sent me with a message when the hearts of his people were bleeding. I have come to minister that comfort may come to all who will walk righteously in this way. All that I have brought and will bring comes from the Lord, your God.
God promised us that he would send a messenger to prepare the way before Christ’s second coming. Most people do not know where to look for such a messenger, if they even understand the coming of him. It is our responsibility to share the message to the world so that people can read it and be prepared. Will you follow the instructions from God?

Message 75:2-3
Lo, you have prayed for my coming and the Lord has heard and sent me. Satan has hindered many times in the past—of my coming. The Lord’s work has suffered much. Satan has shown his iron hand and in vain has sought to have his way—but has caused unrest and no peace, deceiving, deceiving and planting evil seeds. In false prophecy has man been deceived and sin has wrought a work. Let it not be found among you. As I speak to you, I speak to the brethren and the Church. Speak the words I bring, let them be heard. Destroy not the plan of God.
Even though the messenger has not come in the last few years, that does not mean he will not come back. Satan is a powerful adversary. He is fighting harder now than ever because he knows his time is short. John will come back because he said that he would. God is not going to let his church end. Let us look at ourselves and try to see if we are doing anything that might delay his coming.

Luke 2:8-21
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Just as the shepherds did when Christ was born, we need to do today. We need to worship our God when we find out about him. Just as angels came and told the shepherds about Jesus, we have an angle coming today to instruct us for Christ’s second coming. Will you be like the shepherds follow the instructions?

Matthew 17:10-13
And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 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. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Once again we Jesus talks about how John is the Messenger that is promised to come. He also says that he will restore all things. At this time, there was nothing to restore since Jesus was establishing his church. That means John must come at a latter date to restore things to the truth. That day is today.

Matthew 11:7-15
And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses. But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
We learned last week that God promised to send his messenger before the second coming of Christ. Today we learn who that messenger is. It is John the Baptist. Christ him self told us that he would prepare the way. People might say that John did this 2000 years ago, but John did not do the things that God talked about in Malachi. This means that when John did not fulfill this role of messenger at that time. We know that John is doing that role today.

Malachi 4:5-6
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 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.
The Lord promises us that he will send us Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, also known as judgement day. This is the same messenger that is talked about in Chapter 3 of Malachi. As we will see next week, John the Baptist is filling this role.

Malachi 3:1-3
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. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Before the second coming of Christ, God promises us that he will send a messenger to prepare the way before him. We know this is before the second coming because it says that the Lord will come to his temple. When Christ came the first time he did not suddenly at his temple. It also states that the messenger will purify the house of Levi, the ministry. Since Christ started the ministry, there was nothing to purify back then. This means that this must happen before the second coming of Christ. This messenger is coming now to prepare the way. His name is the John the Baptist and he is fulfilling this prophesy.
