Reincarnation Of Elijah In John The Baptist. by cleish(m): 7:13am On Mar 12, 2017
Pastors and Bible scholars in the house, pls explain this Bible verse "Mattew 17 vs 9-13"

9.And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them,“Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”
10.And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?”
11.He answered,“Elijah does come, and he will restore all things.
12.But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.”
13.Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of "John the Baptist".

my questions are
1. where was Elijah before he reincarnated in john the baptist.
2. why was it so.

Lukw 1:17 "He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord."


If he came in the spirit of Elijah then he's Elijah. and i also it happened that way to fulfilled and see the proper death of Elijah. He killed the prophets of baal .and the bible says whosoever slay with the sword shall die by it. Elijah killed them all with a sword. How did John the baptist died? Beheaded with a sword

Malachi 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 4:6 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.

Luke 1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Run a comparism in the prophecy and you would notice something similar

Matthew 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.

Elijah did not experience Death. He came back to suffer it. And This qualified him for his appearance at The Transfiguration with Christ and Moses. There Moses, an Expert in Jihadist movement received instructions to come back as Mohammed to lead Islam.

Moses and Elijah both experienced death, John the Baptist came as the Elijah to come, man is primarily a spirit, by way, Moses is no way related to mohammed

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Why talk about body when he can resurrect with the body, resurrection has to do with bodily departure

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

Sir/Madame,
Elijah has not returned to Earth. Elijah is in Heaven. There are no scriptures that support his having returned to Earth since he was taken.With all due respect you are incorrect about Moses...

Brother, I agree about Moses...but with Elijah is the following:

Re-incarnation bawo?John the baptist was never an incarnate of Elijah.What then is the meaning/interpretation of Luke 1:17?

It simply means the prophet Elijah and John the Baptist had the same ministry/assignment -to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children.This was the ministry of restoration and preparation.The way Elijah came to prepare,and restore the hearts of israel to God in a period of great moral dacadence and sin,so John the Baptist also came to prepare the hearts of the children of Israel to receive the coming Messiah.

You're underrating The Powers of Christ and understating The Records of Him as The Lord God an Saviour of all His Creations.
Learn more about CHRIST and know that Christ is The Boss and Master of Moses and Mohammed on the one hand and of Elijah and John The Baptist on the other hand.
To Christ the four were responsible. Issve(ISA), The Supreme Spirit created them all.

Actually, it is often misinterpreted by some. Like Mzlady39 rightly said, this is no reincarnation. There is a spirit called the spirit of Elijah, who tutored that prophet to the extent that he skipped death like Enoch. That was no ordinary power and ministry...how many years after Enoch? That same spirit was in charge of John the Baptist, and it was said that of all born of women, there had not risen anyone greater than John...even though he died via beheading, he was greater than other prophets, including Moses...only two were higher than him. So, John had a similar ministry to Elijah, and they were brought up by God under the same angelic tutelage (specific).

Hi Sir,
Wasn't Elijah "Old" testament...B.C (Before Christ)?
Jesus came & told the disciples in the "New" statement about the prophet of old whose ministry was to prepare people for the coming Messiah.
John the Baptist also had a ministry similar to Elijah...preparing a people for the coming Messiah.
The Lord's message never changes...but is so full of grace.
John the Baptist was not a reincarnation of Elijah.
They were two separate people..living in two different time periods.

Na wa for una... Una dey talk of 2000 year's ago story... When we are about to enter into the great tribulation, what of the two prophets that have been charged with the duty to lead the people of God and strike the earth with pestilences, I think how discussion and thinking should be more towards that. And as of John the Baptist and Elijah, John came in the spirit of Elijah doesn't mean he is Elijah, he possess the strength and spirit of Elijah to be able to do the forerunner of christ.

My brother,
I should've been more specific. I was saying that Elijah hadn't experienced the "normal" death that humans experience. He, along with Enoch was taken up by God.
