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

Look back to the “Cloud on the Mountain” in Moses’ day, you chose a speaking man instead of God, you received laws and governments.

John 1:1-5
¹In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²The same was in the beginning with God. ³All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. ⁴In him was life; and the life was the light of men. ⁵And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The Word was Life and the Word was with God and was God.

You chose a speaking man the last time that God came to man, so God must enter the thing you chose (a speaking man) and offer Himself to man again. The Word is God and becomes a speaking man.

God is prophesying, “Look back, you asked for a speaking man, so I will become a speaking man and give you what you asked for, we will see if you will choose me if I become what you asked for.

Jesus will be called, both, Son of man and Son of God. He had to be both or He wasn’t God returning to man. God had to return in the thing you asked for at the last choosing time.

John 1:10-11 ¹⁰He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. ¹¹He came unto his own, and his own received him not.	Jesus came to his people but they rejected Him.	It was a dreadful day when the Lord returned as a man speaking man just like the people chose the last time. The Lord was rejected and killed.

John 1:12-13 ¹²But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: ¹³Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.	Sons of God born by the will of God.	God the Father offers His beloved Son to man, but their hearts are not turned to Father God. God will need to reverse this for it to be fixed.

Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. ²²Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself? ²³He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. ²⁴And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. ²⁵And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? ^26aJohn answered them, saying, I baptize with water:	John the Baptizer bears witness of Jesus, the Law came by Moses, grace and truth by Jesus Christ.

Jesus stands among you and you don’t even know it. John makes a reference back to Moses, taking shoes off.	The Lord returns in Jesus just like Malachi said and it is dreadful because they don’t even know it.

John 1:29-39 ²⁹The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. ³⁰This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. ³¹And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. ³²And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. ³³And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. ³⁴And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. ³⁵Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; ³⁶And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! ³⁷And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. ³⁸Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou? ³⁹He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.	John calls Jesus the Son of God, and Jesus takes two disciples to his “father’s house.”	The reverse happens this time (compared to story #01d), man does follow Jesus in this story. The wrong is fixed.
