Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Malachi 4:4-6FOURTH DIVISION (Malachi 4:4-6) This part is a grand conclusion in which the great day of the Lord is once more referred to, and Elijah the prophet named as His forerunner.

There are those who believe that he and Moses are the two witnesses in Revelation 11 that shall do wonders in Jerusalem during the reign of the Antichrist. QUESTIONS 1.
