Malachi

I Send Elijah

Malachi promised in chapter 4, verse 5, the the Lord will send the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord.  The Elijah spirit is much admired by God, to the point that He uses this spirit five times - Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist, the Elijah of Malachi 4, and the Elijah in Revelation 11.

The Elijah spirit has easily enumerated attributes: Love of the wilderness, oddball, loner, hater of immoral women, no desire for fame or fortune, and an unbending fealty to the Word of God.  In these last days, an Elijah is promised.  Has he arrived and we missed him?
