Bro. Branham taught that Malachi 4:5–6 prophesies an Elijah messenger coming before the great and dreadful day of the Lord, when the proud and wicked will burn as stubble, leaving ashes under the feet of the righteous in the Millennium, while the Sun of Righteousness rises with healing. Evidence: [A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED — 61-1112: ¶241–¶245]; [WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION ON THE MOUNTAIN? — 65-0725E: ¶101–¶104]
He distinguished this from John the Baptist (Malachi 3), explaining John's ministry turned fathers' hearts to the children (new faith in Christ), while Malachi 4's Elijah turns children's hearts back to the Pentecostal fathers' original faith before judgment. Evidence: [A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED — 61-1112: ¶243–¶245]; [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 64-0830E: ¶157–¶160]; [WHAT IS THE ATTRACTION ON THE MOUNTAIN? — 65-0725E: ¶105–¶108]
This Elijah's sign is restoring hearts to apostolic truth, standing boldly against denominations with "THUS SAITH THE LORD," vindicated by Word-revealing signs and wonders, signaling the end for Gentiles as Messiah follows his ministry. Evidence: [A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED — 61-1112: ¶179–¶187]
In these cited passages, Bro. Branham presents himself as the Elijah prophet for the Laodicean Age, describing his own vindicated ministry matching the prophecy (e.g., signs proving the messenger, calling prayer for his appearing, linking to Revelation 10's seventh angel messenger), though he does not use verbatim phrasing like "I am Elijah." Evidence: [A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED — 61-1112: ¶179–¶187]; [THE MESSIAH — 61-0117: ¶131–¶138]; [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 64-0830E: ¶152–¶154]
He’s prophesied to come again, just before the great and the second Coming of the Lord. In Mal-…In Malachi the 4th chapter, in Revelation also, the 3rd chapter, tells us that he will be here in the last days. That same one, that’ll stand in the breach for the people, with a little flock that God will give him, he’ll come in the last days. [A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED — 61-1112: ¶180]
“He’ll be turning the hearts of the children back to the original pentecostal Message at the beginning.” Oh, my! A sign that’s overlooked, the real sign, and they miss it. [A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED — 61-1112: ¶185]
Then when he comes the second time, “And the hearts of the children back to the pentecostal fathers, the original Message.” [A TRUE SIGN THAT’S OVERLOOKED — 61-1112: ¶244]
Yes, it’s the same person. Revelation 10 is the seventh angel’s Message, which…seventh angel messenger of the Seventh Church Age, which is Malachi 4. [QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS — 64-0830E: ¶154]
