CHAPTER 13: THE SPIRIT OF ELIJAH VERSESTHE SPIRIT OF JEZEBELMalachi 4:5 “5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terribleday of the Lord comes.6 And he shall turn and reconcile the hearts of the [estranged]fathers to the[ungodly] children, and the hearts of the [rebellious] children to [the pietyof]their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance of the ungodly], lest I come andsmite the land with a curse and a ban of utter destruction.”Luke 1:16 “16 And he will turn back and cause to return many of the sons of Israel tothe Lord their God, 17 And he will [himself] go before Him in the spirit and power ofElijah, to turn back the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient andincredulous and unpersuadable to the wisdom of the upright [which is the knowledgeand holy love of the will of God]—in order to make ready for the Lord a people[perfectly] prepared [in spirit, adjusted and disposed and placed in the right moralstate].”1. John the Baptist fulfilled the Word in Malachi to a certain degree.2. There is a future fulfilment of this same word when the spirit of Elijah will againrise up very powerfully against the spirit of Jezebel. It is probably not limited to anindividual – a whole generation will rise up with the full restoration of theprophetic anointing of Jesus Christ!3. They will be determined to do three things:oooTurn the hearts of the fathers to the childrenTurn the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous.Make ready a people prepared for the Lord.87
