Elijah » Antitype of john the baptist
He will go before him with the spirit and the power of Elijah, to reconcile fathers to their children, and to bring the disobedient back to the wisdom of upright men, to make a people perfectly ready for the Lord."
and, if you are ready to accept the idea, he is himself Elijah who was to come.
They said, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
The disciples asked him, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?" He answered, "Elijah does come and is to reform everything, but I tell you, Elijah has come already, and they would not recognize him, but treated him just as they pleased. It is in just that way that the Son of Man is going to be treated by them!"
He said to them, "Elijah does come first, and reforms everything, and does not the Scripture say of the Son of Man that he will suffer much and be refused? Why, I tell you, not only has Elijah come, but people have treated him just as they pleased, as the Scripture says about him."
