After reading another book proclaiming the so-called “Truth” of the Elijah Revolution that is “going” to happen before the second coming of Jesus I figured I should share my 2 cents about why I think this is ridiculous.
1. Jesus said that the least in the Kingdom is greater than all the Old Testament prophets.
All the prophets includes Elijah!
The 5 year old who just gave her life to Jesus is greater than any of the Old Testament prophets because she didn’t receive a miniature Holy Spirit. She got the real deal and because she got the real deal she can make a huge difference!
To say we need an Elijah Revolution is a step backwards, not forward.
What we need to truly finish the Great Commission is a “Kingdom Revolution” that forcefully advances God’s purpose on the planet.
2. They always use the verse that says “Elijah must come first”
And they quote the Old Testament as proof that this is true.
Don’t you remember they asked Jesus when this would happen and he says “it did happen. It was John the Baptist.”
So…why in the world does this need to be fulfilled again?
I get really bothered when I hear people using an Old Obsolete Covenant that Jesus very plainly says has been fulfilled
as proof for their weird End Times Theology.
Now…
I do believe that believers can operate in the same power that Elijah moved in and I do believe that the hearts of the Fathers are being turned to the sons and the sons to the Fathers.
It’s happening!
Really, this is a matter of semantics and doesn’t really make a difference.
Elijah or Kingdom Revolution?
But…
We advance the Kingdom, not Elijah or whatever.
Just sayin….
