Jesus said Elijah will come and restore all things. Matthew 17:11. What was the spirit and power of Elijah . Luke 1:17. John the Baptist and Elijah the Tishbite had no power of their own just like Jesus the power and Spirit was God Almighty. Johns mission was to prepare a people for the first advent of Christ but the second Elijah was to “restore all things” and prepare a people for the second advent of Jesus Christ . Also the second Elijah was to turn the hearts of men back to God and Gods heart to men. Malachi 4:5-6. This Elijah is believed by many to be a man . This Elijah is in fact the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God. When you study the message Jesus gave about the Holy Spirit . John 16:8-15. John 14:16-20. This Holy Spirit is what makes us “one” with God and Jesus, turns our hearts to God and His heart to us, restores the truth that has been lost and obscured by all the false ministers of Satan in this world. The Holy Spirit is the power in the lives of all the saints, the Spirit of the Father, who teaches us about His love and how we can become the same love as He is. Jesus was like his God in this way, perfect love, the same as his God. Righteousness is Godly love working in and through us and outward to both God and neighbor. The turning of hearts to love. This is a process that begins at conversion and continues until death. If we endure to the end then we receive salvation. “Let us make man after our image and according to our likeness “, Jesus was the first to achieve this and we through him may achieve the same. Jesus was created in the image of his God and we are created in the image of Jesus.
