RETURN OF ELIJAH

Elijah returned to the Earth during the transfiguration of Jesus. Why Elijah (Greek, Elias)? That’s a good question! Scripture provides the clues: 

“Behold, I (God) will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me: and the Lord, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come,” saith the Lord of hosts. (Mal 3:1)… Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. (Mal 4:5-6)

 Elijah never died. God would have much use for him to assist in the “dreadful day of the Lord.” Just when is that ‘day’? That is also found in scripture: 

The Sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. (Joel 2:31-32)

 For English literalists, the word of the Lord is ‘day,’ and it must be one day! Translations are most often not exact, but in America many say, “the other day,” or “in that day,” referring to a different time period. However, even the English ‘day’ does not have to be a twenty-four-hour period.

‘Day’ in that passage is ‘yom’ in the Hebrew, or a time of great hotness (Strong 2006).

God revealed that terrible age. The Sun will possibly erupt. Not having enough mass to ever become a supernova, our Sun exists as a ‘generator’ fueled by hydrogen. When the hydrogen is depleted, the hydrogen fusion will stop, the Sun will contract, and eventually our bright Sun will become a dull red giant as it perishes. The theory has it that the dying Sun will engulf the entire world as it burns out.

Joel described the end of time very accurately, but of course this will not happen in one day, necessarily, but in one age.

Another prophecy of Joel is that “Whosoever shall call on the Name of the Lord shall be delivered.” In other words, the Earth — our world — shall be saved. We live on God’s ‘Ark’ and according to scripture, the world will sail safely away from the cosmic sea of red from within the Red Giant by then encompassing much of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Relax… although scientists project all this to occur over a period of a billion years with the process itself taking eons of more time, remember that we are dealing with Jesus who created the cosmos and who has overcome the world and physics.

Like it or not, Joel was revealing the science, but the ‘Root Cause’ is not evolution but the Word of God.

Just as Enoch was shown the generation of the cosmos by Adoil (Light) and Arkhas (the Power that made matter), Joel saw Arkhas come undone as Enoch wrote about (Secrets of Enoch 20). [1]

The Sun will turn dark, not in twenty-four hours but some age. Like all time, God does not want anyone to know the exact time but does mention the age as that age.

Joel saw that process in his mind’s eye. It is very accurate as well. Joel relates that the moon will be turned to blood. Science says that indeed it will, but not only the moon, but adjacent planets will be absorbed by the expansion of the Red Giant formation from our Sun.

Isaiah saw the same age, “Behold, I (God) create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind” (Isa 65:17). Then another prophet saw the same process in the Revelation of John, “I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea” (Rev 21:1).

That ‘day’ is “the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord” that Malachi saw. Malachi revealed two who would come: (1) Elijah and (2) “the messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in: behold, he shall come.” The first is Elias and the second person is Moses in whom the Jews delighted in as the messenger of the Abrahamic Covenant.

Those two people — Elias and Moses — have already come and indeed that occurred at the transfiguration long before the “great and terrible day of the Lord” — that dreadful age.

Even some scientists believe that a Divine Spark ignited the process of Creation. Given that, by natural means, the Sun would burn out in billions of years, but we are not dealing with evolution and thermodynamic entropy but miracles — the things beyond the science.

It is possible that this is that age. It may have already begun!

 Perhaps, the introduction of the ‘Age of Aquarius’ began with Solar Cycle 25. (US Dept. of Commerce 2023). Note that many astronomers have written that the Age of Pisces (Age of Christ) ended in December of 2019 with the dawning of the Age of Aquarius (the Age of Lucifer). Note that Solar Cycle 25 coincides with the dawning of the Age of Lucifer — “The Bringer of Light.” Are the prophet’s sightings now in the beginning stages, or are all those convergences just coincidental? How you perceive the stars may be the last harbingers that will save you.

John saw a new heaven and a new Earth. Noah saw the same thing. It was not that the Earth was destroyed by water but was washed clean of sin. Never again will the world be cleansed by water, but by fire; and Solar Cycle 25 may very well be the beginning of that dreadful and terrible age.

Elias (Elijah) was to come back before that day, and he did at the transfiguration. The question remains: Was John the coming of Elijah?

Malachai wrote about that the Lord the Jews seek will come unto His Temple. Jesus spoke of that.

Jesus spoke of the end of days — that dreadful and terrible day: 

When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people. And they will fall by the edge of the sword and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Mark 21:20-24)

 That happened when The Temple of Herod was destroyed and the people fled. The new Temple is Jesus Himself. He is the “Temple” that would be rebuilt in three days.

Malachai saw Jesus come to His Temple; Himself becoming the ‘Temple’ that would never be destroyed!

No wonder Peter, at the transfiguration, wanted to build tabernacles for Elias, Moses, and Jesus. Tabernacles were at one time the Temples. As Jews, to fulfill Malachai’s prophecy, they thought that they must rebuild all the temples, but God, at the transfiguration was anointing Jesus as the ‘Tabernacle,’ or Temple of God before it would be rebuilt in three days on Mount Zion (Jerusalem).

 Elijah himself had been transfigured. With Elijah gone, Elisha took up his mantle and asked that he receive the double Spirit of Elijah after Elijah was taken up in a chariot of fire as if by a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:10). Then the sons of the prophets said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” (2 Kings 2:15).

Elijah had been transported from the world to the heavenly realm. He had been glorified just like those at the rapture will be someday. Elijah had been transfigured himself as he crossed over the great divide that separates the heaven and the earth in the same manner as he had crossed over the Jordan (2 Kings 2:8).

Just as the spirit of Elijah rested on Elisha, so it did with John the Baptist.

Now for my thoughts on that matter.

Just as Jesus received the Spirit of God at His own Baptism, John got his spirit in the womb of his mother who was barren. The angel of the Lord revealed to Elizabeth, “He (John) will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children’” (Luke 1:17). John did what Elijah did. He was there to help Jews cross over the Jordan! His purpose was in the same spirit as Elijah’s. He was not Elijah, but he would prepare the Way of the Lord for Him to cross over from Earth to Heaven.

Why was Elijah at the transfiguration? To be there before Jesus crossed over from Mt. Zion to Paradise.

John had assisted in that task. He baptized Jesus who received the Holy Ghost and it remained on Him. That was the first step in the process of transfiguration wherein Jesus was glorified (John 7:39). His baptism with water was the prelude to crossing over the great divide which Jesus would do right after the crucifixion… in Spirit, as He gave up the Holy Ghost.

Of course, anyone can hypothesize, but Elias was there for a reason, and Moses and it was to fulfill scripture. More than that, though; it was making it happen in preparation for that great and terrible day of the Lord that I believe has converged on us in December of 2019.

 Yes, Herod Antipas had killed Elijah whose spirit was in John the Baptist. But Elijah was with Jesus at the transfiguration. John had been the first saint ever to be resurrected. Jesus verified that to the apostles with the following words:

But I say unto you, that Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise, shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that He spoke unto them of John the Baptist. (Mat 17:12-13).

The Spirit of Elias was there (in a "vision;" not in bodily form. John had been glorified and as he was Jesus would be.
