Most Christians realize it is of utmost necessity for Jesus Christ to return, but why would Elijah need to come first? John the Baptist foreran the first coming of Jesus. If it were necessary for Elijah to come to prepare the hearts of the people to receive the Messiah when He came 2,000 years ago, would it be necessary for Elijah to come again before Jesus returns the second time? If so, what is the “spirit of Elijah” and how many times will God use this specific anointing? This topic is of vital importance because if there is an Elijah promised, then his ministry and Message must be recognized and embraced. This question was asked of Jesus by His disciples. MATTHEW 17:10-13, “And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. 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. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.” Why was it necessary for someone with the Elijah anointing to forerun the coming of the Messiah? If more than a casual glance is taken of the first and original Elijah, we can learn much about God’s unchangeable way of preparing His people for His coming.

"The purpose of these posts is to acquaint you with the scriptures that provide undeniable proof of the continuation of Christ’s ministry in our day"
As we look upon the events that unfold in the world each day, we see more and more proof of the reality of Christ and the need to know Him in a personal way. Pastor Kenneth Luvai will be adding more articles to this page to help answer questions and bring clarity to Biblical truths that we hold dear to our hearts. We trust that these articles will spiritually bless you and fortify you with knowledge directly from God’s unfailing Word.

We’re going to have to give an account of what we have done with Jesus Christ. Is that right? And Who is Jesus Christ? The Word. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
