Why Internet Elias?

 

ELIAS WAS TAKEN TO GOD IN A CHARIOT OF FIRE DRAWN BY HORSES OF FIRE…BY WAY OF A WHIRLWIND.

 My site name… Internet Elias is a little unusual (internetelias. wordpress.com).   But you will soon see the PASSION within me for the man, his office, his high calling, and …his reverence  for the Savior.  Elias (also called Elijah in the KJV)  is seen first in the Old Testament as the faithful and empowered prophet of God. At the end of his initial time on earth,  he was taken up to God in a chariot of fire with horses of fire…by way of a whirlwind.   After his fiery ascension, he is next seen with Jesus and Moses at the Mount of Transfiguration.  He then returns to earth embodied as John the Baptist, completed his forerunner mission of making ready a people prepared for the Lord, and was beheaded…as purposed by God.    At the Second Coming, Elias will precede Christ  as  one of the two witnesses (indicated in scripture as both Elias and Moses) who will preach the Gospel of the Kingdom for the last three and a half years of the Age of Grace to the covenant peoples of Israel.   (Revelations 11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, ..)

Luke 1:17And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.    (this verse speaks to Elias’s office both as John the Baptist and as the Witness in Revelations 11th chapter)

Matt 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.  (also referring to John the Baptist)

Matthew 11:3 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.    (referring to John the Baptist who prepared the way preaching in the wilderness then baptizing unto repentance…at the First Coming).

Matt 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

Matt 17 :11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things      (referring to Elias’s coming as one of the two witness who’s empowered prophesying will restore the remnant of the ’spiritually blind and deaf’ of Israel back to their God immediately before the Second Coming of Christ for the Church.  (Rev 11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, an part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.)  *See Romans scriptures .. ’The Blinding of the Nation of Israel’(scroll to end of post).

12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

13Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

As forerunner of the incarnate Christ,  he was under divine protection by God. He lived apart from society, wore animal skins, ate berries..and continuously ANNOUNCED the soon coming King. “Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’  He was saying, “Royalty is approaching!!!  He is worthy of your honor!!!  HE IS YOUR KING!!!!  Lay palm leaves for His path.     Elias did his perfect work as John the Baptist.  He was behead.  Not to worry.  In the Kingdom of God, a LARGE beheading is a SMALL thing.    As John (Elias) was decreasing, the ministry of Jesus was increasing…….all according to the perfect plan of the Father.                          

There are many scriptural indications that this current generation may be the generation who will experience the awesome, rugged, faithful and empowered perfect Elias.   He will again return to earth as the forerunner of the Return of Christ and, along with Moses, will be the instruments of restoration between God and His covenant people.   

Thus my passion for Elias!!!  Christ said of him, “Only the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.’

The Blinding of the Nation of Israel

*Romans 11:7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

8(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.      (ONLY GOD KNOWS THE DAY AND THE HOUR WHEN THE FINAL GENTILE HEART REPENTS)

26And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
