Which rendition of Malachi do you believe
“For behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly shall burn as stubble; for they that come shall burn them, saith the Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
“And again, he quoted the fifth verse thus: Behold, I will reveal unto you the Priesthood, by the hand of Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
“He also quoted the next verse differently: And he shall plant in the hearts of the children the promises made to the fathers, and the hearts of the children shall turn to their fathers. If it were not so, the whole earth would be utterly wasted at his coming.”
History of the Church verse 38, Pearl of Great Price
Funny how lies haught Mormonism since Joseoh Smith came up with same verse in his JST and Book of Mormon disagreeing with Pearl Of Great Price rendition which agrees with the Bible not mentioning Priesthood
Malachi
CHAPTER 4
Judgment on the wicked -- Blessing on the good -- The study of the law -- Elijah's coming.
1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord;
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Joseph Smith Translation
3 Nephi 25:
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord;
11 And they
asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
12 Then He
answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all
things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer
many things and be treated with contempt? 13But I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did
to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”
Luke 1:
17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and
power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared
for the Lord.”
Jesus said John the Baptist was Elijah:
Matthew 11:
11 “Assuredly, I say
to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the
Baptist; but he who 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 suffers
violence, and the violent take it by force. 13For all the prophets and the law
prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah
who is to come. 15He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Matthew 17:10 Then his disciples asked him, “Why do the
teachers of religious law insist that Elijah must return before the Messiah
comes?”
11 Jesus replied, “Elijah is indeed coming first to get
everything ready for the Messiah. 12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come,
but he wasn’t recognized, and they chose to abuse him. And in the same way they
will also make the Son of Man suffer.” 13 Then the disciples realized he was
talking about John the Baptist.
17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
