Malachi 4:5
_ _ I send you Elijah — as a means towards your “remembering the law” (Malachi 4:4).
_ _ the prophet — emphatical; not “the Tishbite”; for it is in his official, not his personal capacity, that his coming is here predicted. In this sense, John the Baptist was an Elijah in spirit (Luke 1:16, Luke 1:17), but not the literal Elijah; whence when asked, “Art thou Elias?” (John 1:21), He answered, “I am not.” “Art thou that prophet?” “No.” This implies that John, though knowing from the angel’s announcement to his father that he was referred to by Malachi 4:5 (Luke 1:17), whence he wore the costume of Elijah, yet knew by inspiration that he did not exhaustively fulfil all that is included in this prophecy: that there is a further fulfillment (compare Note, see on Malachi 3:1). As Moses in Malachi 4:4 represents the law, so Elijah represents the prophets. The Jews always understood it of the literal Elijah. Their saying is, “Messiah must be anointed by Elijah.” As there is another consummating advent of Messiah Himself, so also of His forerunner Elijah; perhaps in person, as at the transfiguration (Matthew 17:3; compare Matthew 17:11). He in his appearance at the transfiguration in that body on which death had never passed is the forerunner of the saints who shall be found alive at the Lord’s second coming. Revelation 11:3 may refer to the same witnesses as at the transfiguration, Moses and Elijah; Revelation 11:6 identifies the latter (compare 1 Kings 17:1; James 5:17). Even after the transfiguration Jesus (Matthew 17:11) speaks of Elijah’s coming “to restore all things” as still future, though He adds that Elijah (in the person of John the Baptist) is come already in a sense (compare Acts 3:21). However, the future forerunner of Messiah at His second coming may be a prophet or number of prophets clothed with Elijah’s power, who, with zealous upholders of “the law” clothed in the spirit of “Moses,” may be the forerunning witnesses alluded to here and in Revelation 11:2-12. The words “before the ... dreadful day of the Lord,” show that John cannot be exclusively meant; for he came before the day of Christ’s coming in grace, not before His coming in terror, of which last the destruction of Jerusalem was the earnest (Malachi 4:1; Joel 2:31). |
Malachi 4:5
Behold I will send — Though the spirit of prophecy cease for four hundred years, yet at the expiring of those years, you shall have one sent, as great as Elijah. Elijah — Namely John the Baptist, who came in the spirit and power of Elijah, Luke 1:17, and therefore bears his name. Before — That is, immediately before; so he was born six months before Christ, and began his preaching a few years before Christ began to exercise his publick office. The great and dreadful day of the Lord — This literally refers to the times of vengeance upon the Jews, from the death of Christ to the final desolation of the city and temple, and by accommodation, to the end of the world. |
Malachi 4:5
Behold, I will send you (e) Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and (f) dreadful day of the LORD:
(e) This Christ interprets of John the Baptist, who both for his zeal, and restoring or religion, is aptly compared to Elijah; (Matthew 11:13-14).
(f) Which as it is true for the wicked, so does it waken the godly, and call them to repentance. |
