Very True. yet, perhaps the young'in was wanting this verse explained for 'End Time Prophecy'?
Mal.4
[1] For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

[2] But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

[3] And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

[4] Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.

[5] Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

[6] And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

And was John really Elijah, or did he possess the same Holy Spirits Message as did Elijah? :wave

I believe a thorough reading of the first half of Luke's gospel has the answer, in particular, Luke 1:17. :yes

Seems at least partically fullfiled, unless one belives that the 'Holy Spirits' message was fully FINISHED when John was beheaded. (with NO Eccl. 1:9-10 + Eccl. 3:15 intent! :wave )
[17] And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; [to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.]

Yet, we see that it is a free choice to receive this 'Messenger', huh? Matt. 11:13-14 'If ye will receive it', Christ states.

--Elijah
