If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
His disciples asked him: Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? In answer he said: Elijah truly has to come and put all things right. I tell you that Elijah has come. They did not know him and treated him badly as they pleased. They will do the same with the Son of man.
He said: Elijah does come first and restores all things. It is written that the Son of man should suffer and be treated with contempt? But I say to you that Elijah has come. They have done to him what ever they wished just as it is written about him.
They asked him: Are you Elijah? He said: I am not. Are you the prophet? He answered: No. They said to him: Who are you? We need to know so we can tell the ones who sent us. He said: I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness. Isaiah the prophet said: 'Make straight the way of Jehovah (YHWH).' (Isaiah 40:3) read more.

Peter told Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them. A voice came out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him. When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces. They were very afraid. Jesus touched them and told them to get up and not be afraid. They saw only Jesus when they opened their eyes. When they came down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone what they saw, until the Son of man has risen from the dead. His disciples asked him: Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? In answer he said: Elijah truly has to come and put all things right. I tell you that Elijah has come. They did not know him and treated him badly as they pleased. They will do the same with the Son of man. Then the disciples saw that he was telling them about John the Baptist.

We could make one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah. He did not know what he was saying. While he said these things a cloud enveloped them and they were filled with fear.
