In this lesson we consider Elijah, the great prophet to Israel, whose work was to turn the hearts of the people back to Jehovah the true God.

1. Turning Hearts to God
Malachi 4.5-6

2. “Jehovah”

3. Baal

4. God
wants
all
of
me!

5. “As Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, before
whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor
rain these years, except by my word.”
(1 Kings 17:1)

6. “How long will you go
limping between two
different opinions? If
Jehovah is God, follow him;
but if Baal, then follow him.”
(1 Kings 18:21)

7. “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
before the great and awesome day of Jehovah
comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to
their children and the hearts of children to
their fathers, lest I come and strike the land
with a decree of utter destruction.”
(Malachi 4:5-6)

8. And he will turn many of
the children of Israel to the
Lord their God, and he will
go before him in the spirit
and power of Elijah, to turn
the hearts of the fathers to
the children, and the
disobedient to the wisdom
of the just, to make ready
for the Lord a people
prepared.”
(Luke 1:16-17)

9. “Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.”
(Matthew 3:2)

10. The next day he saw
Jesus coming toward
him, and said, “Behold,
the Lamb of God, who
takes away the sin of
the world!
(John 1:29)

12. “Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand.”
(Matthew 3:2)

14. Will today be the day
you decide
to go to
heaven?
