Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
The Bible is clear (Mal 4:5, 6):
(a) “Says the LORD of hosts,.... I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD....” That means now.
(b) His main agenda: not beheading modern “prophets of Baal,” but “turning” hearts in a grand, cosmic ministry of heart-reconciliation.
(c) “He will turn the hearts of the fathers,.... and the hearts of the children....”
(d) The greatest “heart” that needs “turning”: the heart of “the Lamb’s wife”-to-be, His church (Rev. 19:7, 8).
(e) The “Lamb” (which means the crucified Christ) loves her and wants to marry her, but she has delayed “the marriage of the Lamb” by remaining un-ready as a Bride, alienated in that deeper conjugal maturity. Egocentric concern has been her primary motivation.
(f) That means that “she” is holding back from the total surrender of heart appropriate for any bride to give to her husband-to-be.
(g) In other words, the “Lamb’s” wooing has thus far been unsuccessful.
(h) The greatest “prophecy” of the end times declares that she (His church) will repent as a Bride, give her heart to Him in a corporate, nuptial love. This surrender of heart worldwide will release the pent-up Hallelujah Choruses of all eternity when she “makes herself ready” for the “marriage” (cf. Rev. 19:1-7).
(i) This being un-ready has involved the Bride-to-be in shameful, painful rejection of the Bridegroom, which has naturally humiliated Him. She, not He, has created a cosmic lovers’ split.
(j) Thanks to “Elijah’s” ministry, a healing of her heart must and will come. It will be the “repentance of the ages.”
(k) Those who would be loyal to the Bridegroom-to-be will also in deep contrition remain in the loyal fellowship of the bride-to-be. They will fulfill Hosea’s appeal to “plead,.... plead” with her (cf. 2:2, 13-15, 17-20).
