We need to try see some things as the people saw them during their lifetimes, in order that we can carry out God's purpose's. When Jesus said that Elia's had already come He was speaking about John the Baptist. We have to be able to realize that that same Spirit was in them now resides in us, So we have that same ability to do the work of evangelist , as little lights to prepare the way for Our God. We are to be speaking the Gospel which is comforting good news for God's people.
