Question

My dear brother, will the Malachi 4:5 Elijah go to the wilderness, as First Kings 17 tells us the other Elijah did?

Answer

Well, I wouldn’t exactly say that he would, that he would go to the wilderness. But he’ll be this, you see, he was…Elisha and Elijah, did you notice? Most men like that are men who are away; they, they keep away from the people. They’re very odd. They don’t associate too much with people.

You notice how Elisha was, and Elijah, and John the Baptist, and that nature of that spirit, you see. And they don’t…He—he, I believe the man will be a lover of the wilderness, and maybe stay in the wilderness. But, now, just to say he is going to be a hermit and live in the wilderness, I don’t know about that. Sometimes they did. Elisha didn’t, but Elijah did. And then, John, he—he lived in the wilderness.

And, hard tell, these other prophets, when they come out of Judaea there, I don’t know where they’ll stay. They may camp out on the hill somewhere. Or—or, what they’ll do in the days of their prophecy, I—I don’t know what they will do. But you…What I’m trying to say is this. “They, will they, will they be a—a—a…?” They’re trying to ask, “Will they just be wilderness dwellers?”

Well, they’d have to go to northern British Columbia to get enough wilderness to dwell in now, somewhere, you see. So it’ll be someone…The wilderness is all cut down. See? There is not much wilderness left. See? So, the only thing, they—they might be a lover of the wilderness, see, and stay maybe a lot in the wilderness, and they’ll be…You can notice the nature of them, is that uncompromising, see, and you’ll—you’ll know it when it comes. See? You’ll see it; you’re—you’re wide awake.

Now, here is one, I don’t know how to touch it. And I got another one just before this, and then I’m going to ask them to snap the tape just a minute.
