Prepare's vision comes from the last passage of the Old Testament. "Look, I am sending you the prophet Elijah before the great and dreadful day of the Lord arrives ..." Jesus said of John the Baptist in Matthew 11:14, "he is Elijah ... the one the prophet said would come." In the same way John prepared the way for Jesus' first coming, God is raising up a generation of young believers in the spirit and power of Elijah to prepare for His return. They will have a bold but humble call to holy living, an uncompromising stand for truth and a passionate devotion to Jesus Christ as the coming Bridegroom. Isaac is a great Old Testament example of Jesus. His bride came to him riding on a camel. Jesus is waiting for his bride not riding on a camel but on a generation typified by John the Baptist who wore a camel hair coat. "Behold, the camels are coming!" Genesis 24:63
