I Send MY Messenger To Prepare The Way

Hello! and happy TGIF to all of us, GUYS.  Our "daily bread' this Friday:

THE GOOD NEWS (23 December 2016)
"Now I AM sending MY messenger ahead of ME to clear the way; then suddenly the LORD for whom you long will enter the sanctuary.  The envoy of the covenant which you so greatly desire already comes, says YAHWEH of hosts.  Who can bear the day of HIS coming and remain standing when HE appears?  For HE will be like fire in the foundry and like the lye used for bleaching.
Remember the law of MY servant Moses, the laws and ordinances I gave him at Mount Horeb for the whole of Israel.  I AM going to send you the prophet Elijah before the day of YAHWEH comes, for it will be a great and terrible day.  He will reconcile parents with their children, and the children with their parents, so that I may not have to curse this land when I come." - Malachi 3:1-2, 4:22-24 
John The Baptist Is Elijah The Prophet
(To those complaining that GOD does not reveal HIS justice nor reward sufficiently those who serve HIM, Malachi responds by declaring that the LORD will come soon.  He announces the coming of a messenger of GOD who will be responsible for preparing the way for HIM, and that will be the sign of HIS coming soon.

Paragraphs 3:1-2 and 4:22-24 complement each other, and point to John the Baptist.)
