Elijah was expected as the predecessor to the coming of the Messiah. It seems that John the Baptist suffices for such a role. Whether he does or does not should not be our focus but whether or not we are following God’s plan for our lives. Only when we are obedient to God’s will are we able to rest secure in the belief that we are doing the best we can for His Kingdom.
Matthew 17:9a, 10-13
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, 10 The disciples asked Jesus, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11 He said in reply, “Elijah will indeed come and restore all things; 12 but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him but did to him whatever they pleased. So also will the Son of Man suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist.
