马太福音-Matthew 11章13~15节
| 11:13 | 因为众申言者和律法申言，到约翰为止； |
| For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John; | |
| 11:14 | 你们若肯接受，他就是那要来的以利亚。 |
| And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, who is to come. | |
| 11:15 | 有耳可听的，就应当听。 |
| He who has ears to hear, let him hear. |
Enlightenment:
Malachi 4:5 prophesied that Elijah would come. When John the Baptist was conceived, it was said that he would go before the Lord in the spirit and power of Elijah (Luke 1:17). Hence, in a sense, John may be considered Elijah who was about to come (Matt. 17:10-13). However, the prophecy of Malachi 4:5 will actually be fully fulfilled in the great tribulation, when the real Elijah, one of the two witnesses, will come to strengthen God’s people (Rev. 11:3-12).
亮光
玛拉基四章五节豫言，以利亚要来。当施浸者约翰成孕时，就有话说，他必凭以利亚的灵和能力，行在主的面前。（路一17。）因此，约翰多少可以视为“那要来的以利亚。”（太十七10～13。）然而，玛拉基四章五节的豫言，实际上要到大灾难时才得应验。那时，那实际的以利亚，就是两个见证人之一，要来坚固神的子民。（启十一3～12。）
