1] Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,[
16] And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.[

What
Yehsua said about John The Baptist:Matt
. 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet?yea
, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.[
10] For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. (Mal. 3:1 and 4:5)[
11] Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. [12] And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. [13] For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.[
14] And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. (Mal. 3:1 and 4:5)[
15] He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matt
.17[10] And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?[
11] And Yeshua answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.[
12] But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.[
13] Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.------------
Mark

[13] But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.Elias
is indeed comeShalom
