A common theme I seem to see in your posts is YOU esteeming yourself greater than Biblical characters. This isn't right. Even if you were greater than Elijah, you yourself can't say that about yourself according to this proverb:
Proverbs 27:2
Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
Or as the MSG puts it:
"Don’t call attention to yourself, let others do that for you."
You still need to check your pride brother. We are not greater than our masters. Don't deceive yourself.

hmmm i wonder what this means
[h=3]Matthew 17:10-13[/h]King James Version (KJV)
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 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.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
