Fiveamprayer we have to understand the dangers of being out of position of His purpose and plan! We find upon closer review and Hebraic lens of scripture that the man commonly known as John the Baptist was in competition with Yeshua. Yes they are cousins, for Mary did visit Elizabeth, John's mother while she was pregnant that we have from scripture. The turning point many have over looked is that when the men came to John where he was immersing people in water and telling them to repent--he denied that he was the Messiah, Elijah or the prophet. This seems that he is staying humble and not trying to draw attention to himself. That is how it would appear without the proper context and setting of the time and culture. The spirit of Elijah comes to prepare the way before the Messiah's coming. As you continue to read scripture you will find that John has disciples and Yeshua has disciples which is later compared since they do not both do the same things. Mark 2:18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? The signs and scripture that Yeshua gives to identify who He is, was to be under scored by John walking in the spirit of Elijah. All Scripture is to be fulfilled as it was written. We see this clearly when John tells Yeshua that He should be immersing him in water and not the other way around. Matthew 3:14-15 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15 But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted Him.
Those who are positioned to walk in the spirit of Elijah are seen as troublemakers for speaking the truth and not budging from His instructions. They have a heart to please Yahweh alone, and are not enticed to curry favor with man. Much like soldiers who are seeking to please the one who enlisted them to service--they upset he status-quo with things like the truth and the ceasing of lies and shadows. This appears to the religious leaders as disobedience and disrespect, yet in all actuality it is honor and diligence to Yahweh's instructions. Since many of the religious leaders then as now have found there own brand of order and process, usually devoid of the wholesome, uncorrupted path that was from the beginning! The time is now to return to the beginning, the truth, that which is without alteration by the whims of mere man and the grandiose ideals of finite brilliance of man's brain!
