Jesus said, "But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him." (Mark 9:13)

i hope this is not a stupid question, but has anyone ever figured out when Elijah came and who he was? John the Baptist? :oops:

Elijah was a prophet in a non-profit world in the Old Testament.
"My actions prove that God takes care of idiots."

He occasionally stumbled over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had happened.

An atheist can't find God for the same reason a criminal can't find a police officer.

That is not reincarnation. When I say spirit, I meant fire. The same calling. The same passion. Elijah and John are 2 different people.
