if you’re willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who is to come.

Look, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome Day of the Lord comes.

Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him.

When some of those standing there heard this, they said, “He’s calling for Elijah!”

“I am not,” he said.

“Are you the Prophet?”

“No,” he answered.

So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”
