Free Key: DUAL APPLICATION

09/12 DAILY (Heb.3:13;10:25;Matt.6:11;Luke 11:3) Exhortation…

On this 9/12, here is a 9:12 in which to muse and peruse…

Mark 9:12 (KJB)  And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

This one will get a tad deep, so buckle your Bible/scripture seat belt a little tighter. 

I STAND AMAZED AT THE ALMIGHTY DAILY. Before writing this post, That AM, in my stirring thoughts on the word in the morning, I thought of Matthew 17:11 and it was like utterance on my lips. Here is the context…

Matthew 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

Then, later, just a few minutes later, as I was looking for 9:12 verses for this 9/12, LO AND BEHOLD, THE PARALLEL PASSAGE of our focus passage is before me!!!! I was literally thinking of God’s tokens/signs of “verified word” (1 Kings 8 etc.) just seconds before seeing it (GLORY TO GOD!!!). I LOVE THIS *JESUS WALK.*

Jesus prophesied that Elijah would come one day and restore all things. This makes John the Baptist be a partial mystery fulfillment of that, BUT THAT IT WILL LITERALLY COME. 

You see, during the tribulation period of Daniel’s 70th week (7 year period), the two witnesses of Revelation 11 will be Moses and Elijah. 

Malachi 4: 4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

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.

Horeb means “GLOWING/HEAT.” When Jesus comes back in the Second Advent, He will literally melt Mount Sinai (Horeb):  

Judges 5:5 The mountains melted from before the Lord, even that Sinai from before the Lord God of Israel.

Deuteronomy 33:2 And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.

Elijah will restore the hearts of the “fathers” (think Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) to the children (think the children of Israel) and vice versa and like Jesus said, he will RESTORE ALL THINGS. Malachi 4 ends with a mountain (Horeb which is Sinai), and 3 people: Moses, Elijah, and the LORD. Sound familiar? This is the same scenario as the MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION which was on Mount Horeb (GLOWING/HEAT) sure as you live and breathe. 

2 Chronicles 20:20 “Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper…” 

While I personally don’t believe in the OFFICE of a prophet for this dispensation, the two witnesses are two prophets. When Israel believes them, they will prosper. And when one believes the prophets (what is written), they will prosper (spiritually speaking). 

What God did in Mark 9:12 is give you an example of the law of DOUBLE/DUAL APPLICATION. When folks miss God’s DOUBLE APPLICATIONS, they train-wreck and truth-wrest the rest of scripture. God is infinitely bigger than our little one-track minds. John the Baptist “mystery fulfilled” Elijah “if” (conditional) the Jews would have received it. They did not. They rejected Stephen’s message (Acts 7). Jesus sat back down, and now ELIJAH WILL TRULY COME.

 

My exhortation for you is to encourage/exhort you to LOVE GOD’S METICULOUS LAID OUT PLAN and get yourself positioned (not breaking rank) humbly waiting for the KINGDOM OF GOD/HEAVEN and believing ALL THAT GOD SAYS in His prophets/prophecies.
