Matthew 17:10-13
10 The disciples asked him,
“Why then do the teachers of the law say
that Elijah
must come first?”
11 Jesus replied,
“To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things.
12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come,
and they did not recognize him,
but have done to him everything they wished.
In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”
13 Then the disciples understood
that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
SO JTB has already been killed.
"Elijah has already come"
and
“To be sure,
Elijah comes
and will restore all things."
Is JTB 2.0
in todays vernacular
Why must Elijah return before the end times (Malachi 4:5-6)
(got questions.org)
"On a related eschatological note, Malachi 4:5–6 could (better "is") also be pointing forward to the tribulation of the end times.
5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you
before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes.
The two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11 who preach and perform miraculous signs are unnamed, but it’s possible that one of them could be Elijah.
(In the spirit of, just like JTB 1.0 was.)
If so, then Malachi’s prophecy has two fulfillments: one spiritual fulfillment in John the Baptist and one literal fulfillment in the end-times witness."
It's really not all that difficult.
Its just really not.
(From BibleHub.com Commentary
"Spiritual Fulfillment
Jesus clarifies that John the Baptist fulfilled the role of Elijah in a spiritual sense. This teaches us that God's fulfillment of prophecy may not always align with human expectations."
(I got a huge problem with people thinking
that "God's fulfillment of prophecy" has to
"align with THEIR particular version
of human expectations."
AND?
I dont care who they are.
Nobody gets to tell God:
"This is how to do it"
which is exactly
what was just written above is.
HUGE PROBLEM WITH IT.
IT JUST DOESNT MATCH
WITH WHAT WE HAVE SEEN.
HE WILL MAKE IT WORK
BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE
HOW YOU THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE
or
HOW YOU WERE TAUGHT
IT WILL BE.)
"Expectations vs. Reality
The disciples' question highlights the tension between traditional expectations and the reality of Jesus' mission. Believers are encouraged to remain open to God's ways, which may differ from human assumptions.
(God just does not
have to do it how
you always thought he would
or how you have been taught
that he would.
He is God, he will does it his way.)
"The phrase hints at timing questions common in prophetic interpretation—God’s promises stand, but His sequence can surprise us (2 Peter 3:8-9)."
(Not just the sequence but also the people used,
and the locations and the manner it was achieved etc.
"Two layers emerge:
(Because its two separate instances)
– A literal forerunner (John) who prepared hearts through repentance (Matthew 3:1-3).
– A future, end-times fulfillment still to come before Christ’s second advent, hinted at in Revelation 11:3-6 where one of the two witnesses ministers “in the spirit and power” reminiscent of Elijah.
(They are a team, it might as well be one mouth
and they have an anointing like Elijah or Moses.
The text of Revelation 11:3-6 in no manner implies
they are literally Moses and Elijah
come back for the end times.
(From above
"The two witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11 who preach and perform miraculous signs are unnamed,...")
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
They are "given power to"
like Moses and Elijah
it never says exactly what they did
=
Similar anointing)
• The disciples’ question opens the door
for Jesus to affirm both
the reliability of prophecy
and its multi-stage fulfillment pattern
a vital key
for understanding eschatology
(Acts 3:18-21)."
Thank goodness
somebody else had said it!
"...prophecy
and its multi-stage
fulfillment pattern..."
This is something
a lot of people,
preachers and ecclesiastics
included
just do not get.
"Well that has already been fulfilled
back in/when...
blah blah blah...
etc. etc. etc"
Really?
Awesome.
So God cant do it again a second time?
A different way than he did it the first?

BIBLICAL DEMONOLOGY AND ESCHATOLOGY
THE DEMONOLOGY OF THE LAST DAYS
"Our neighbors bible:
Matthew 24:15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
VER. 15. The abomination of desolation. Cf. Dan. 9:27: 11:31; 12:11. In 1 Mach. 1:57 an application of the prophecy is found in the setting up by Antiochus Epiphanes of a statue of Jupiter Olympius in the temple of Jerusalem. The prophecy will be fulfilled a second time for Jerusalem but not necessarily in the same way. St. Luke sees "the abomination of desolation" in the army which surrounded and destroyed Jerusalem.
SO I WOULDNT BE PUTTING
HUMAN CONSTRAINTS
ON GOD.
The God I worship is all powerful
and can do what he pleases.
The earth is his footstool.
And all of this nonsense about:
"It's already all been done."
or
"Well this
(fill in your own blank)
just has to be blah blah blah
because that is we have all thought
because that is what we have been taught
for a couple hundred years now"
without any historical evidence
watsoever to back it up with
is gonna leave you 100% Spiritually Unprepared
for what is about to come on this earth.
(7000 US sailors, 2000 marines
and a third Aircraft Carrier
and an amphibious asult group
are currently headed to the middle east
and should be there by the end of the month.
And AI etc., but I digress...)
There is a reason
the 10 virgins parable
comes right after Matthew 24.
All 10 of them believed
but only half of them came
100% spiritually prepared
FOR THE DURATION.
The others he addressed
and said:
"I know you not."
Nahum 1:7
The Lord is good,
a strong hold in the day of trouble;
and he knoweth them
that trust in him.
It's not enough to "believe" in him.
It's not enough to know "of him"
YOU HAVE GOT TO TRUST HIM 100%
with everything.
He created everything
so its all his anyway
"This reference underscores that
tradition and Scripture can align or conflict;
Jesus repeatedly corrected the scribes
when tradition overshadowed truth
(Mark 7:8-13).

"Just because an interpretation
becomes prominent and
has been around a long time?
Doesn't mean it is correct."
(Speaking of Genesis 6
and the "Sethian view."
which at one point in time
was just somebody's opinion
that took hold
and nothing more.
It is not a scriptural truth
(Obviously)
and the reason I hammer on it so much
is because
the angel view of Genesis 6
explains the increase
in the evil confusion
we are seeing in our world today.)
• Yet here the scribes are at least pointing to the right text—Malachi 4:5: “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD”.
That?
is obviously not
JTB.
Which brings me to my point.
Finally lol.
So who is your end times prophet
who comes in the spirit of Elijah?
And what does he restore?
"...Elijah comes
and will restore all things..."
Cause I know who mine is
and I know a good chunk at least
of what he restores:

Sons of God (Genesis 6:1-4) Part 3 of 3
"First, it should be established that the first solution was held UNANIMOUSLY until the second century A.D. Every Jewish text, from the apocryphal Book of Enoch to the writings of Josephus, including most of the rabbinical writers and all of the intertestamental Jewish literature, held that the account of Genesis 6 referred to fallen angels. So did the oldest church fathers—Justin, Tertullian, Cyprian, Ambrose, and Lactantius.
"However, in the second and third centuries, both Jewish interpreters and Christian interpreters began to understand “sons of God” as not necessarily referring to angels.
(Just everywhere else
that word is used in the Old Testament
but just not in Genesis 6?
And century's after the fact?
So I got issues before
you even get started with
any of that nonsense.)
"Jewish commentators began identifying “the sons of God” as rulers, while Christians such as Julius Africanus and Augustine suggested that they were men from the line of Seth while “the daughters of men” were women from the line of Cain. After Augustine promoted this belief in his famous City of God,
it became the prominent Christian interpretation of Genesis 6 through the Reformation and into the nineteenth century."
Just because an interpretation
becomes prominent and
has been around a long time?
Doesn't mean it is correct.
And what we are currently seeing
proves which interpretation
of Genesis 6 is correct.
Genesis 6 Prophetic Implications
“Another reason that an understanding of Genesis 6 is so essential is that it also is a prerequisite to understanding (and anticipating) Satan's devices and, in particular, the specific delusions to come upon the whole earth as a major feature of end-time prophecy.”

"SO
watering down scripture
started in 200 or so AD."
"WHY?
Tuesday, August 26, 2025
(It's more personal than you might think)
"Revelation 12:4
"...and the dragon stood
before the woman
(Wisdom)
which was ready to be delivered,
for to devour
her child
as soon as it was born."
(Both the first and the last church
that wisdom does bring forth.
Witness:
A roman military dictator
dictates policy via a church council
(Constantine, Council of Nicaea)
Theodosius I declares Christianity
the state religion of Rome.
(Just join the social club.
No work of regeneration
needed by the spirit etc.
Sound familiar?
It should.)
And the sethian view of Genesis 6
replaces the angel view
all before 400 AD.
So this verse refers to both churches
of the same,
the first and the last
as they were
and are and will be
under attack by Satan.)
Bringing ancient back...sweet..."

church.
"and will restore all things."
Make a lil more sense now?
So who is your:
"Elijah"
"before that great and dreadful day
of the Lord comes"
Malachi 4:5
And what is he restoring?
And how long
has he been advocating for it?
I mean there are just so many prophecy experts out there on Social Media and with their podcast and followers and all...
.jpg)
This is a part of end time prophecy
JTB 2.0 makes the paths straight again
and I just do not hear
one single person
saying anything about it.
And remember:
"This teaches us that God's fulfillment of prophecy
may not always align with human expectations."
"Believers are encouraged
to remain open to God's ways,
which may differ from human assumptions."
