Luke 1:76
+ 1:76 (76-79) MP: A messenger will prepare the way for the Messiah. (Mal 3:1) Note: In Malachi, the word “suddenly” refers to the imminent coming of the Messiah once this messenger appears. From the writings of Josephus, we know John the Baptist and Yeshua were contemporaries of one another. And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Elyon [Most High], 2 for you will go before the face of Yahweh to prepare his ways, + 1:76. Quoted from Is 40:3; Mal 3:1 2
