<TITLE>11. Par 77-89</TITLE>L-77 Now, watch the next verse:
And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,... (Now, watch.)... and the hearts of the children to the fathers,... (See?)
Now, when John came as Elijah, he turned the hearts of the Israelites, the hearts of the children that was then accepting his message, the hearts of the fathers to the children. But when he comes this time, he's going to turn the hearts of the church back to the Pentecostal fathers. See, it's a vice versa there. You get it? Now, read it.
Now, listen close now:
And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,...

L-80 The old orthodox priest; he's going to tell them that... Oh, it... "Why, God's able of these stones here to raise children unto Abraham. Don't you think that you can..." See? Now, he's going to take the hearts of the old calloused orthodox priests and turn their hearts to the faith that the children had here. See, Now, all these that's been baptized and are waiting for the coming Messiah, "Who's warned you, you generation of vipers, to flee from the wrath to come?" Oh, my. Now, see, he was turning the hearts of the fathers to the children.
"And the hearts of the children to the fathers..." Now, when this great Elijah comes in the end of this age, he'll be taking the message of Pentecost to turn the children to the faith of the fathers, because he'll be rebuking them because that they didn't keep this same faith that was back there at the beginning. Amen. Now, I believe we pretty well realize it's going to be Elijah. Don't we? Now, we know it.

L-82 It didn't happen now (See?), the dreadful day of the Lord ain't come. I often wondered, "Would this man just be a preacher, then?" Elijah done all miracles, no preaching. But when his Spirit was upon John, It done all preaching and no miracles. Why? Jesus was going to follow him; He'd do the miracles, "For the Sun of righteousness shall rise," he said, "with healing in His wing." So John had no need of doing miracles; he just announced the coming of the Christ. And they...
Now, remember, and this John--or this Elijah that will come, will be misunderstood; he'll be such a great powerful man before the Lord until people will think he's actually the Messiah.
Because his very best friends said to him, "You're the Messiah."
He said, "I'm not worthy to loose His shoes, but He's coming after me."
Because they were under expectation then to see a Messiah. They thought the Messiah was coming. When they seen this great phenomenon rise up among them, they said, "He is the Messiah."
John said, "I'm not Him. But He's coming after me."
Oh, my. You get it? So his close friends will think he is the Messiah.

L-89 Now, notice another thing will take place in the nature of this; he'll come just before the Lord's day. Now, the earth never burnt in the days of John, so it is in the future. When he comes the first time, he only preached; the second time, he--he will both do preaching and signs promised by Jesus Christ. All right, now, let us look at the nature, what it will be, the nature of this prophet that's coming.
Now, we're satisfied that the angel of this last church age, predicted from the Old Testament down; now, the rest of them wasn't. Paul, Irenaeus, they wasn't predicted. But this last age, at the end of the consummation, the end of the world, it'll be such a tremendous time that we got just ahead of us, till this angel of this age was predicted all the way back in the Scripture, the Old crip--Scripture, the ending up of this age. It's Elijah, a great anointed one.
