I imagine it was in those boring "Begats" that few of us read, and fewer still make any sense out of. ☺
Except for Beyond. He did pretty good on that thread of his of the begats.

I liked this but then reading this over...isn't flax used to make linen? There could be a hidden truth there.
Only figuratively, but in the spirit and power of Elijah. But when asked point blank whether he was Elijah, he said "NO".John the baptist was Elijah/Elias
This is the correct interpretation as confirmed by John 1:21:
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
Sorry Disciple Dave but this is BIZARRE doctrine. Did you derive it from Mormonism or Gnosticism? Unless you can provide solid biblical support for this, it had no value.The Spirit that is in you, has its own name, and resided in Heaven prior to the Earth ever being created. The spirit that is inside of you is one of the 2/3rd that did not rebel against God.

BTW, since the actual Elijah (who met Christ at the Transfiguration) will literally come to earth before the Day of the Lord (as prophesied by Malachi) John the Baptizer -- himself the greatest prophet as proclaimed by Christ -- was not at all mistaken when he denied that he was Elijah. Elijah will indeed come.
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. (Malachi 4:5,6).
The Day of the LORD = The Great Tribulation
I wasn't aware of that. Interesting. Did I overlook this in scripture, or is this in a historical writing?
John The Baptist was Jesus' cousin (Lk 1:36).
