MIRACLES, CHRISTIANITY AND PEACE

Michael R. Kestner

Description

Jesus saw, Elijah in Malachi 4:5-6, not as a name but as a description . A prophet of Elijah Jehovah, Matthew 11:7-15 and Mark 9:1-13
With Israel being in the news regularly now, the book examines the following very important question about Elijah the Tishbite. The Apostles asked Jesus why the teachers of the law said the Elijah the Tishbite had to return from heaven before the Messiah appeared in the Promised Land. It seems the teachers of the law believed Elijah the Tishbite would introduce the people to the Messiah. Jesus did not agree with them. Please see Matthew 11:7-15 and Mark 9:1-13.

Genesis 1:1-3,
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

At this point, I would also like to thank the chosen people for their many centuries of hard work in improving the spiritual growth of humanity all over the world. This calling has cost them dearly though at times over the course of history. However, they did not lose sight of their vision or their faith in God. This has helped keep their Bible looking like the reliable fountain of truth it is to so many people today. Thank you for staying with your calling, the calling of Abraham, Isaac and Israel and not giving up. God bless you. Also I am very proud of the prophets Elijah and Elisha for conquering Baalism, and eliminating the religion of Baalism out of the land of Israel, the land of Mount Zion. If that contemptible nationwide pseudo religion would have continued to spread all over the Middle East and then outwards to become a world religion, life would have become a nightmare. However, instead with the calling of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and the creation of a promised land a temple and a Bible, the Bible was placed there by the chosen people and it has spread goodness and wisdom and love to all humanity. This was an honorable calling. The Kingdom of God is continuing to be established all over the world. This all began with the calling of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God bless the chosen people and their Promised Land, Israel. I am very proud of my Jewish heritage small as it is. From Zion and Jerusalem the Word of the Lord will go out from the Promised Land into the entire world, for as long as the Word of God, Jesus Christ, is to sustain its existence as suites Gods plans and design. God bless the chosen people and their promised land. God bless Jerusalem.
This text holds anti-Semitism to be a totally contemptable belief and practice as Nazism was. It is simply unbelievable that this is coming back in parts of America and the world. The chosen people are being condemned and attacked in their own promised land which God granted them through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, about 400 years before Moses. He would lead them out of Egypt in to their promised land, Canaan. About 400 years later David would become their King. He would continue the line of the anointed King; and high priest, of Israel and the world to Jesus Christ. He was put to the test by God and passed. He was therefore placed in charge of the kingdom of God in both heaven and earth; and granted the power to forgive sin and raise the dead. I hope you find this book educational and enjoyable.
The Mission: Jesus apparently saw the word Elijah, at the end of Malachi, as a description, not as a name. He did not see it as Elijah the Tishbite, of flying chariot fame. He saw it as, Elohim (God)-i-Jehovah (God’s Biblical Name), a prophet of Elohim Jehovah. The prophet to be sent to the chosen people just before the appearance of the Messiah was to be a prophet of their own, an Elijah. He was to be a prophet of Elohim Jehovah. That prophet turned out to be John the Baptist, who introduced Jesus to the chosen people while baptizing them in the Jordan River. John the Baptist is the Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6; and Malachi 3:1-5; and prophet in Isaiah 40:3-5. When John and Jesus were unrecognized and executed, the nation was destroyed as prophesied in Malachi would happen.
Jesus declaring he is God (I am),
John 8:58.
Psalm 110:4, of David. A psalm.
4 The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”
Preface
Once again, Jesus appears to have viewed the word Elijah, El-i-Jah found at the end of the prophet Malachi as a description, not as a name, such as Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead. Jesus appears to have viewed the word Elijah, as a prophet of Elohim Jehovah –a prophet Elijah. With this in mind, Matthew 11:7-15; and Mark 9:1-13; suddenly make perfect sense. However, the Jewish leaders were looking for Elijah the Tishbite of Tishbe in Gilead. Jesus taught that John the Baptist was what he, John, said he was: the prophet to come before the Messiah. Jesus also taught that John the Baptist was the prophet Elijah in Malachi, not Elijah the Tishbite of Tishbe in Gilead, who would prepare the way for him-Jesus. Jesus Christ most clearly saw the word, Elijah, at the end of Malachi 4:5-6, as a description of a prophet who’s Elohim (God) is Jehovah Elijah, but not further clarified as Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe in Gilead (1 Kings 17.) as has been assumed. Jesus saw John the Baptist actually working and teaching as the Elijah who was fulfilling his role in prophesies of Isaiah 40:3-5; and Malachi 3:1-2; and Malachi 4:5-6 according to Jesus. John is seen in the teachings of Matthew 11:7-15; and also Mark 9:1-13. In agreement with those scriptures, this book teaches that Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, is not expected to return from heaven to introduce a new Messiah. Many Christians believe what John and Jesus taught, but are still so badly confused by it, I see them as easy targets for false prophets and false messiahs to steer them off course. Some people think Jesus was suggesting that John the Baptist was a reincarnation of Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe in Gilead. My mission is therefore to explain what Jesus and John the Baptist said about Isaiah and Malachi. The mission of Elijah the Tishbite was fulfilled when the Lord would not send him back to earth to save the temple. Taking more time with the chosen people on important matters seen in Malachi was not going to change things. Judgment fell against the Jews when they continued to refrain from abandoning the sins the Lord was accusing them of. Jesus fought with them in person tearing down cages of sacrificial birds at the temple and all he got was cursed and crucified. It seems things went out of control. Remember the prophet Malachi said God was furious with them over the people bringing in lame and diseased animals to be sin offerings to God. God asked the people what they thought would happen to them if they offered such things to their administrators and governors. They were not paying their tithes or showing mercy to the poor. The nation was in serious trouble with God.
Introduction
This book is my retirement work 69. It leaves me feeling like the Apostle who after much studying a lot of adventure came to find could do all things who Christ who strengthened him. I can feel that too having reached personal enlightenment. What they call in the eastern religions satori or nirvana. I call it the peace that only Jesus can give: supernatural-living
It is an anthology of my own favorite personable Bible studies over the decades. I was born in the southern suburbs of Chicago, in 1954. I was one of those kids who actually enjoyed going to church and studying the Bible. At 16 years old I bought my own Bible. The journey for truth then began. I even visited various churches and temples in the course of all my studies. I got to see religions in their everyday settings.
Also, I would like to say that even though I have a German name, I am multicultural and am visibly Jewish. Many Jewish people have said I am Jewish and asked if I married a Jewish woman. These were people with Jewish famili
