Elijah » Antitype of john the baptist
And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to prepare for the Lord a people well-disposed.
and, if ye are willing to receive the truth, This is that Elias who was to come.
And they answered, Some say thou art John the Baptist, others Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
And his disciples asked Him, saying, Why then do the scribes say, that Elias must first come? Jesus said unto them, Elias doth indeed come first, and shall set all things right. But I tell you that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but did what they pleased to him: and so is the Son of man to suffer by them.
And He answered and told them, Elias doth indeed come first, and settle all things: He told them likewise how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be used contemptuously. But I tell you, that Elias is come, and they have done to him whatever they would, as it is written of him.
And they asked him, What then? art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou a prophet? and he answered, No. Therefore said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us: What dost thou say of thy self? and he said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the way of the Lord," according to Esaias the prophet. read more.

who appeared in glory, and spake of his exit, which He was to make at Jerusalem. Now Peter and they that were with Him were heavy with sleep; but being awakened they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with Him. And as they were departing from Him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here, let us make three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said. And as he was saying this, there came a cloud and overshadowed them; and they were afraid, when they went up into the cloud and disappeared.
