Lets clear some things up.
Yes I agree 100% about what Jesus said no arguements. But before Jesus comes again a prophet with an Elijah type of ministry will come and prepare a people or as Jesus says restores all things.
Read what is recorded in the book of Kings about the time Elijah lived.
Ahab was the 8th King of Israel who was married to Jeezabel.
This is a prophetic picture of a time in the future.
Rev 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou wonder? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.
The beast is the 8th King (Ahab) Jeezabel is the Harlot.
God through Elijah confronts this system of worship and brings it to it's knees and the people turn back to God.
Know did John the Baptist confront the 8th King. No. Only the 6th King was present at that time.
Rev 17:10 and they are seven kings; the five are fallen, the one is, the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a little while.
Five had fallen and the one who is at the time of John was the 6th King.
So I say Elijah does come to restore all things at the time of the 8th King. But that takes nothing away from what Jesus stated about John.
Lets bring in the other point here.
Jesus is certainly the head. The head denotes authority. It's not saying that Jesus is an actual head sitting on shoulders.
I am not bringing that point out. I know that that and have known it along time. This is my point.
Rick Joyner Prophecy 1.Messianic people are, "THE HEAD," meaning, of the Body of Christ and the First Fruits Wrong Jesus is the head
Look again he says the messianic people are THE HEAD. Read it again till you get it messianic people are THE HEAD. Then he says and the first fruits. THE HEAD and the first fruits
He says the Messianic people are the head.
This wrong very very wrong but some believe it are being taken along with all the false teaching. Which in turn leads many astray.
The deception that is going on in the Church right know is preparing the way for the anti christ so that many many christians are misled and follow after him.
I went along to confernece in Sweden in July I saw and heard things that I did not believe could or would happen. But I thank God I saw it.
What did I hear and see this Messianic Jews promoting unity between Gnostic's, Cathoilc's and Charasmatic's. There was seven thousand people there. Pastors of churchs that have over of 25,000 people where there.
What I want to bring to peoples attention that the teaching of Rick Joyner his idea's his ministry is all geared to preparing the way for the antichrist.
But there are many many others going along to the same drum beat.
My dear friend we do need God to send Elijah to restore the altar again just like he did in Kings.
He took the 12 stones and rebuilt the altar the fire fell. God the Father turned again to the sons. The people of God or his sons turned to God.
There will be a peolpe who will come off victorious.
In revelation you see the people that.
Rev 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire; and them that come off victorious from the beast, and from his image, and from the number of his name, standing by the sea of glass, having harps of God
Lets make sure we are of these that have come off victorious :-)
