God's Promise to Send Elijah before the Second Coming

[_gdemetz]

This is something that apostate Christendom, among many other things, seemed to forget all about. It's the last verses in the Old Testament where God promises to send Elijah back to the earth prior to that "great and dreadful day of the Lord," or the second coming of Christ. It is recorded in the 110th section of the D&C where Elijah fulfills that promise by his appearing in the Kirtland temple on April 3, 1836. I have just been wondering what apostate Christendom thinks of that, or even if they do think of that. Maybe they are still waiting for him to come to them. Anyhow, I hope that they are not holding their breath.

For behold, yea, in the previous verse Elias appeared, even one of the great and glorious translation errors of King James Version!

If only Brother Joseph had known that Elias and Elijah were the same person.

You need to read "Mormon Doctrine" and look up Elias and Elijah! The Old Testament correctly states "Elijah," which is what I referred to! D&C also mentions "Elijah's return in fulfillment of that prophecy! Elias was a prophet in a earlier dispensation of which we know little about, however, the term "Elias" is also used to denote someone who is a messenger or a forerunner. You should look this term up!

Please don't use the personal pronoun "we" here. Use the singular.

As GBH did it:

I don’t know that we teach it. I don’t know that we emphasize it. I haven’t heard it discussed for a long time in public discourse. I don’t know. I don’t know all the circumstances under which that statement was made. I understand the philosophical background behind it. But I don’t know a lot about it and I don’t know that others know a lot about it.

by the way

We're not allowed to use 'Mormon Doctrine' because it's not Mormon Doctrine.
