JESUS DOESN'T NEED ANY PROOF. JESUS IS THE LORD, THE LIFE AND THE RESURRECTION.

AND HE IS THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS.

In summary: JESUS IS THE PROOF.

Of course he needs to explain how John could be the long awaited Elijah since the name God's word told the Jews is "Elijah" not John {Malachi 4:5} and as for Jesus himself he needs to prove that he is the real Christ since the scriptures never said the Christ will be called "Jesus" rather the scriptures said the Christ will be called "Emmanuel" not "Jesus" Isaiah 7:14

So if Jesus (whose followers need to proof to the Jews that he is the real Christ) claimed John the baptist is Elijah to come what evidence does he have? smiley

Can you explain what is happening @ Psalms 110:1?
Who is the LORD that's ordering another Lord?

@ Matthew 11:11-14 we read:

Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has not been raised up anyone greater than John the Baptist, but a lesser person in the Kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the Kingdom of the heavens is the goal toward which men press, and those pressing forward are seizing it. For all, the Prophets and the Law, prophesied until John; and if you are willing to accept it, he (John the baptist) is ‘E·liʹjah who is to come.

And @ Matthew 17:10-13 we read:

However, the disciples put the question to him: “Why, then, do the scribes say that E·liʹjah must come first?” In reply he said: “E·liʹjah is indeed coming and will restore all things. However, I say to you that E·liʹjah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did whatever they wanted with him. In this way also, the Son of man is going to suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples perceived that he spoke to them about John the Baptist

From the two highlighted scriptures we found out that Jesus is implying that John the baptist is the long awaited Elijah. Malachi 4:5

First of all the Jews knew very well that Elijah was not a Jew rather he was a Samaritan and secondly he was taken up to heaven by chariots of fire. So if Elijah should return he could have either been born in Samaria or descended from heaven just as he was taken but instead he was born among the Jews.

So if we want to explain using the scriptures to help a modern day Judaist what evidence does Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples have in the Old Testament to ascertain that John the baptist was truly Elijah?

This is a powerful question that touches on the mysteries of prophecy and divine revelation. Let us approach it with an open heart and mind, seeking understanding together.

The connection between John the Baptist and Elijah is a beautiful example of how God's plan unfolds in ways we may not always expect. While it's true that the details don't align perfectly with human expectations, we must that spiritual truths often transcend literal interpretations.

In John the Baptist, we see the spirit and power of Elijah manifested anew. This fulfillment of prophecy speaks to the continuity of God's message across generations, even as it takes new forms. It invites us to look beyond surface-level appearances and seek the deeper spiritual significance.

For our brothers and sisters who may struggle with this concept, I would encourage a dialogue that explores the nature of prophetic fulfillment. Perhaps we can reflect together on how God's ways often surprise us, challenging our preconceptions and inviting us into a more powerful understanding of His work in the world.

In the end, what matters most is not the precise details of how prophecy is fulfilled, but our openness to recognizing God's presence and message in unexpected places and people. Let us approach these questions with humility, love, and a willingness to see with the eyes of faith.

I know you and I don't agree on the same christain doctrine but I grab point in some of your preaching

MaxInDHouse:


NO!
Disappointments and deception led many into questioning their religions but most does with the wrong motive!

Take for instance someone whose pastor used what Jesus said @ Matthew 7:7-8 to extort money from him:

“Keep on ASKING, and it will be given you; keep on SEEKING, and you will find; keep on KNOCKING, and it will be opened to you; for everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking, it will be opened.

Billions have been misled thinking Jesus was talking about material possessions here so the pastors will quote this place then ask them to drop whatever is in their pockets for him to spend but they should continue asking God for their own needs.

✝ Malachi 4:5

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: "

KJV Bible

Do you now see that Jesus Christ is the Lord in this scripture. He sent Elijah aka John the Baptist before His coming. Malachi 4:5 said that Yahweh will send Elijah.

Do you understand the meaning of that word?

Please explain to me why John the Baptist is Elijah..
How do you people even do this ?

Let me give you a hint!
The dreadful day has not come...

✝ Malachi 4:5

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the [/color][/b]great and dreadful[b][color=#000000] day of the LORD: "

You saw great and dreadful. What is the meaning of and? The first coming of Jesus Christ was great. He came as a suffering servant. A Lamb fattened for slaughter, for sins of the world. But His second coming will be dreadful. He will be coming as a Lion to devour those who are unrighteous and at the same time refused the garment of righteousness God provided for them in Christ Jesus to cover them up.

✝ Matthew 3:11

"I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: "

This is John the Baptist speaking... Jesus Christ has two baptism to perform upon all flesh.
The first Baptism is baptism of the Holy Spirit for those who accept Him as their over Lamb.
The second baptism is baptism of fire for those who reject His gift of righteousness and trust in their own righteousness which is like a filthy rag. Hope you understand now.

You can't twist this one my guy because Peter one of the closest confidants of Jesus and a born again Christian filled with the spirit of God said:

For David did not ascend to the heavens, but he himself says, ‘Jehovah said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet.”’ Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for a certainty that God made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you executed on a stake.” Act 2:34-36

According to APOSTLE Peter Jehovah and Jesus are two separate entities and it's Jehovah who raised Jesus from the dead in fact Paul said Jehovah granted Jesus' supplications because Jesus was full of godly fear! Hebrews 5:7

If you're looking for people to dribble with vain words that won't work with witnesses of Jehovah!
