Mark 9:11

For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:

He will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to prepare a people prepared for the Lord.”

The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions will serve and obey him.’

Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

“I watched until thrones were placed, and one who was ancient of days sat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool. His throne was fiery flames, and its wheels burning fire.

But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.’

until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him I will give authority over the nations.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed for the Word of God, and for the testimony of the Lamb which they had.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”

This is he of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

Don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

for the great day of his wrath has come; and who is able to stand?”

saying, “Don’t harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”

He causes all, the small and the great, the rich and the poor, and the free and the slave, to be given marks on their right hands, or on their foreheads;

I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

“If there is beside him an angel, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him;

Tell those who have a fearful heart, “Be strong! Don’t be afraid! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, God’s retribution. He will come and save you.

The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God.

They, whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse, for they are a rebellious house, yet they will know that there has been a prophet among them.

Yahweh said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”

“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.

“For, behold, the day comes, it burns as a furnace; and all the proud, and all who work wickedness, will be stubble; and the day that comes will burn them up,” says Yahweh of Armies, “that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

They asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” He answered, “No.”

She said to him, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God’s Son, he who comes into the world.”

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom.

He who overcomes, I will give to him to sit down with me on my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father on his throne.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.

It was given to him to give breath to it, to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause as many as wouldn’t worship the image of the beast to be killed.

Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Then Haggai, Yahweh’s messenger, spoke Yahweh’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you,” says Yahweh.

and I will shake all nations. The precious things of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies.

For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of Armies.

If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him.”

They answered, “ ‘John the Baptizer,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

Behold, two men were talking with him, who were Moses and Elijah,

that you may eat and drink at my table in my Kingdom. You will sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

They asked him, “Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?”

I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel.”

You yourselves testify that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before him.’

“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.

The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,

If we endure, we will also reign with him. If we deny him, he also will deny us.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.

Now, little children, remain in him, that when he appears, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

I John, your brother and partner with you in the oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.

His disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”

Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

For there is born to you today, in David’s city, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

Coming up at that very hour, she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of him to all those who were looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.

He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests, the scribes, and the leading men among the people sought to destroy him.

Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

“You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

For if the rejection of them is the reconciling of the world, what would their acceptance be, but life from the dead?

I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

After the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood on their feet. Great fear fell on those who saw them.

I fell down before his feet to worship him. He said to me, “Look! Don’t do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.”

I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

There will be no night, and they need no lamp light or sun light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever.
