• If Israel, when our Lord first came, had received the Baptist, he would have been Elijah for them, and as it was his mission was in the spirit and the power of Elijah. But John was beheaded, and the Christ, of whom he was the forerunner, was crucified; and God, who is as immutable in His holiness as in His grace, will as surely perform His truth unto Abraham, as execute his judgments upon the wicked. In the day of judgment, however, He remembers mercy, and therefore, before the advent of the great and dreadful day of the Lord, He will send Elijah to test the hearts of His people, and to recall them to His unchanging faithfulness and grace. (“Malachi 4” by E. Dennett)
• The mission of Elijah, historically, was at a time of general apostasy, when Jehovah had been publicly disowned, and Baal had been chosen in His place. And we gather from many scriptures that apostasy will characterize Israel as a whole in the last days. (“Malachi 4” by E. Dennett)
