Preparing The Way Of The Lord

Days of Elijah
Words and Music by Robin Mark Click here to play

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord

And these are the days of your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored

And though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword

Still we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord!

Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!

And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh

And these are the days of your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise

And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in the world

And we are the labourers in your vineyard
Declaring the word of the Lord!

Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!

There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!

There's no God like Jehovah!
(Repeat 3 times)

Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!

Behold He comes! Riding on the clouds!
Shining like the sun! At the trumpet call
Lift your voice! It's the year of Jubilee!
And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!

And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!

And out of Zion's hill salvation comes!





___________________________________________________________________ Prepare The Way Of The Lord: 11Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.[Ezek.46:1-3].

The Bottom Line: The gateway shall be shut to serve it's purpose of it giving special meaning and distinction to the Sabbath and the New Moon, when it's open and in use. Isreal largely failed and was judged in ancient times in regard to those days ( Jer. 17:22-27); cf, 2Chr.36:2). The Sabbath will be reinstated for a restored and regenerated Isreal. Note: Here that modern day sabbatrains fail to realize that the sabbath consisted of far more than just rest from labor, but included specific sacrifices. It consisted of to take one part of the sabbath observance and discard the others. As we go from here to (Ezek.44:3) we will note this : The designation "prince" is used at least 14 times in chaps [44-47]. He is Not the Lord Jesus Christ, but someone distinct from him (cf."eat bread before the Lord"); he has sins for which he offers sacrifice (45:22), and fathers sons(46:16-18). He Cannot enter by the E-gate which the Lord used, but he is allowed to come in by the vestibule, and eat bread by the gateway. He Cannot perform preistly duties (45:19) as the Messiah will (cf,Ps.110:4;Zech.6:12,13), and he Must worship the Lord (46:2). Most likely "the prince" Is one who is neither priest or king, but rather one who administrates the kingdom, representing the King ( of the Lord Jesus Christ) on one hand, and also princes (14:8,9) who individually lead the 12 tribes. Possibly, he will be the desendant of David.

__________________________________________________________________ The Coming Day Of Judgement: 1Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

2But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

3And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

[Mal.3:1-3].

The first words of this chapter seem an answer to the scoffers of those days. Here is a prophecy of the appearing of John the Baptist. He is Christ's harbinger. He shall prepare the way before him, by calling men to repentance. The Messiah had been long called, to �He that should come, to � and now shortly he will come. He is the Messenger of the covenant. Those who seek Jesus, shall find pleasure in him, often when not looked for. The Lord Jesus, prepares the sinner's heart to be his

temple, by the ministry of his word and the convictions of his Spirit, and he enters it as the Messenger of peace and consolation. No hypocrite or formalist can endure his doctrine, or stand before his tribunal. Christ came to distinguish men, to separate between the precious and the vile. He shall sit as a Refiner. Christ, by his gospel, shall purify and reform his church, and by his Spirit working with it, shall regenerate and cleanse souls. He will take away the dross found in them. He will

separate their corruptions, which render their faculties worthless and useless. The believer needs not fear the fiery trial of afflictions and temptations, by which the Saviour refines his gold. He will take care it is not more intense or longer than is needful for his good; and this trial will end far otherwise than that of the wicked. Christ will, by interceding for them, make them accepted. Where no fear of God is, no good is to be expected. Evil pursues sinners. God is unchangeable. And

though the sentence against evil works be not executed speedily, yet it will be executed; the Lord is as much an enemy to sin as ever. We may all apply this to ourselves. Because we have to do with a God that changes not, therefore it is that we are not consumed; because his compassions fail not. (Mal 3:7-12)
