The fulfillment of prophecy before our very eyes.
The story of Elijah in the Bible is a brief but memorable one. Elijah was the only prophet to call down Fire from heaven (I Kings 18, II Kings 1:1-17) and is probably best known for being taken up by a whirlwind into heaven inside a “Chariot of Fire” (II Kings 2:11), which provides us with an all important clue as to Whom the Spirit-Being inside of Elijah really is (see John 3:13).
Perhaps slightly less well-known is that Elijah had an apprentice named Elisha, and before Elijah was taken up to heaven aboard the Chariot of Fire (spaceship?), Elijah passed his mantle (II Kings 2:13-14) to Elisha at the Jordan River, where the people of Israel had crossed over to the “promised land” roughly 600 years earlier.
II Kings 2:1-12
2:1 And it came to pass, when the "I AM" would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2:2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the "I AM" hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said [unto him, As] the "I AM" Liveth, and [as] thy soul Liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
2:3 And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the "I AM" will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
2:4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the "I AM" hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, [As] the "I AM" Liveth, and [as] thy soul Liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
2:5 And the sons of the prophets that [were] at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the "I AM" will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know [it]; hold ye your peace.
2:6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the "I AM" hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, [As] the "I AM" Liveth, and [as] thy soul Liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
2:7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
2:8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped [it] together, and smote the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
2:10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: [nevertheless], if thou see me [when I am] taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so].
2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
2:12 And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
2:13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
2:14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where [is] the "I AM" God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted here and there: and Elisha went over.
That very same mantle was then returned from the spirit-being Elisha/Elias (reincarnated in the body of John the Baptist) to the Spirit-Being Elijah/Christ (in the body of Jesus) in the same exact spot, at the Jordan River, roughly 900 years later:
Matthew 3:11-16
3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and [with] fire:
3:12 Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable Fire.
3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized by him.
3:14 But John (Elias - Elisha – 17:12-13) forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized by thee, and comest thou to me?
3:16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him (the returning of the mantle - 2 kings 2:13):
3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Further confirmation that John the Baptist was Elisha/Elias (NOT Elijah):-
Matthew 17:10-13
17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the lawyers that Elias must first come?
17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of Man suffer of them.
17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke unto them of John the Baptist (Elias - Elisha NOT Elijah).
John 1:19-23
1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
1:20 And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
1:21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am NOT. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
1:23 He said, I [am] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight The Way of the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
Therefore, by his own admission, John the Baptist was NOT Elijah, but instead was Elisha/Elias, who had asked for a double-portion of Elijah's Spirit (II Kings 2:9).
Further confirmation that the Spirit-Being Christ incarnated both the bodies of Elijah and Jesus:
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am The Way, the Truth, and the Life: NOT one man cometh unto the Father, EXCEPT by me.
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of Man which is from heaven.
II Kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
So we have the Truth, directly from Christ, that He is the ONLY Spirit-Being to EVER ascend to heaven, PROVING He visited in both the bodies of Elijah and Jesus. This should hopefully explain why God would send Elijah/Christ (the same Spirit-Being) just before Judgement Day to provide us with a FINAL warning while gathering the “Elect” (Rev. 7:4-9, Rev. 14:1-3):
There is also the simple historic FACT that John the Baptist lived 2000 years ago, during the time that Christ was here in the body of Jesus, NOT just before Judgement Day (SOON). So the reference to Elijah in Malachi 4 could not possibly be to John the Baptist, as it clearly defines it is a prophecy that is being fulfilled NOW, 2000 years later, in these end-times.
Malachi 4
4:1 For, behold, the Day cometh, that shall burn like an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts, that it shall leave of them neither root nor branch (nothing).
4:2 But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in The Day that I shall do [this], saith the "I AM" Lord of hosts.
4:4 Remember ye and return to The Law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, [with] the Statutes and Judgments.
4:5 Behold, I will send you EliJAH the Prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful Day of the "I AM" (Sura 43:61):
4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse (see verse 1 for the details of the curse).
The prefix “Eli” means “exalted”; thus Eli-JAH means exalted JAH.
Psalm 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to His name: extol Him that rideth upon the heavens by His name JAH, and rejoice before Him.
The Prophecy given by Jacob-Israel in Genesis tells us that The Shepherd will come from Joseph-Ephraim, not from Judah like the body that was used by Christ/EliJAH during the first coming.
Genesis 49:22 Joseph [is] a fruitful bough, [even] a fruitful bough by a well; [whose] branches run over the wall:
49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot [at him], and hated him:
49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty [God] of Jacob; (from THERE [is] The Shepherd, The [Corner] Stone of Israel:)(1 Cor. 10:4; Daniel 2:34-5; 45)
49:25 [Even] by the God of thy father, Who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, Who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they (the blessings) shall be on the head of Joseph, and the crown [of Israel] on the head of him that was separate from his brethren (ch. 37:7-11).
Christ confirmed the prophecy given by Jacob-Israel in Genesis 49 quoted above, and prophesied that He would be in a new body (from the tribe of Joseph-Ephraim, not the body of Jesus from the tribe of Judah) with a NEW NAME during His Second Coming, just before Judgement Day, in His Revelation to John:-
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone (a “little book” - Rev. 10:7-10), and in the stone a NEW name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it].
Revelation 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the Temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] New Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my NEW name.
19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him [was] called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a NAME written, that NO man knew, but HE himself (ch. 2:17; 3:12).
Hopefully you're not already so far into Satan's grip and blinded by his organized religions and superstitious nonsense that you cannot “see” and receive the Truth, directly from Christ, about EliJAH being here, on this planet, during the “time of Jacob's Trouble” (Dan. 10:21, Dan. 12:1-4, Rev. 5:1-5, Matt. 24:21-22).
AlleluJAH.
