Was John The Baptist Prophet Elijah? by nikky5(m): 11:47am On Apr 02, 2023
We read in the Book of Kings that Elijah did not die but rather was driven to heaven by chariots of fire. In the new testament many have argued that God returned Elijah to the earth in the person of John the Baptist to die so that he can enter paradise. Do you as a Christian believe this narrative? What's your take on this?

John was already dead at Matthew 14. Jesus himself said Elijah is John the Baptist. But what is not correct is the lie that Elijah came back to be put to deat so he can go to heaven. Infact OP where did you get this lie from.

According to the prophecy of Malachi, GOD said;
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:”
— Malachi 4:5 (KJV)

Jesus Christ said in:
Matthew 11 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
¹⁴ And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
¹⁵ He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

There, Jesus Christ confirmed Elijah is John the Baptist.

Now, the belief of some doctrines who claimed that Elijah was returned so that he can die before he enters paradise is false.
If that was true, then what happens to Enoch?

According to Jesus Christ, the clincher is that while Elijah was removed from his former timeline right as King Ahab and Queen Jezebel were set to take their revenge on him for killing their prophets among other things, as John, his old life caught up with him as he was executed by the King and Queen still. undecided

John the baptist is Elijah, for he came in the spirit of Elijah, the very spirit of Elijah. Is there any difference between the spirit of Peter and Peter? Spirit of Paul and Paul? Remember Elisha received double portion of Elijah's spirit, but he did not become Elijah, but Elijah came as John.

John the baptist is not Elijah , he is only figuratively called Elijah due to their mode of dressing

The real Elijah would come before the dreadful day of the Lord.

What other day can be more dreadful and the great tribulation and Christ second coming!

1. Great tribulation took place almost 2000 years ago. undecided

2. Second coming is time of resurrection of all the righteous of the Old Covenant, so why would it be considered dreadful? undecided

NO he is not Elijah!

And they asked him: “What, then? Are you E·liʹjah?” He replied: “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered: “No!” John 1:21

Jesus later said about John the baptist:

For all, the Prophets and the Law, prophesied until John; and if you are willing to accept it, he is ‘E·liʹjah who is to come.’ Let the one who has ears listen. Matthew 11:13-15

Are these two contradicting themselves?

The holy spirit will help us!
