4. Prophecy Fulfilled Mar 1:2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, Mar 1:3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,'" People were expecting the return of Elijah to come to prepare the way of the Messiah. In John’s Gospel, they even ask John if he is Elijah and he says no. Jesus later says that Elijah had come in the person of John the Baptist. Luke’s gospel says that John came in the spirit and power of Elijah. The prophecy is fulfilled in John the Baptist. This was hidden to the Jews. John prepared the way for Jesus, how do you prepare the way for Jesus?
