Elijah and the Messiah. Sirach 48:1-11
In the days of Elijah the prophet
All of Israel had turned away from the Lord.
He was the last prophet standing.
But through him,
The Faith was restored on Mount Carmel.
And then He was taken up into Heaven in a Fiery chariot.
Ever since then,
It has been believed that Elijah would return one day,
And bring the people back to the Lord
And prepare them for the Messiah.
Jesus tried to tell the scribes that Elijah had indeed returned in John the Baptist,
But they refused to believe.
Only those who heed the words of John the Baptist
And repent and prepare,
Will be ready to see the Lord when He comes.
