Matthew 17:11
The restoration here spoken of is the type for any later revival. The difference in a revival now is that the Holy Spirit’s ministry is in full force. Other than that, John’s restoration was a revival in every sense of the word. Any true revival will involve the reform of the people of God, and thus the changing of sinful ways.
The purpose of the restoration was to prepare the people for Jesus. Malachi 4:6 explains that this was done so that Jesus would have some kind of positive response from the people. Otherwise, he might judge the world right then.
