THIS was John the Baptist "Yliyah". Mal 3:1  Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and Yahweh, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith Yahweh of hosts.  Mal 3:2  But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:  Mal 3:3  And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto Yahweh an offering in righteousness.  Mal 3:4  Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Yahweh, as in the days of old, and as in former years.  Mal 3:5  And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith Yahweh of hosts. THAT is a PAST event, hence the focus upon JUDAH and JERUSALEM ... it was the END OF THE 70 WEEKS PROPHECY. BUT THE SPIRIT OF YLIYAH "GOES BEFORE" the coming of Yahweh near the SECOND COMING as well ... THIS IS A DIFFERENT MANIFESTATION OF "YLIYAH" Mal 4:5  Behold, I will send you Yliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yahweh:  Mal 4:6  And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. THAT is when TRUE ISRAYL Wakes up to WHO THEY ARE! Dan 2:44  And in the days of these kings shall Yahweh of heaven  ffa   set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.  Dan 2:45  Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great Yahweh hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure. WE ARE SEEING THE 5TH KINGDOM COME TO FULL GLORY ... THE STONE KINGDOM. https://artisanpublishers.com/stone-kingdomamerica-captthe-final-greatest-kingdoms-kindle-available-p-25617.html
