Translations:Reincarnation/17/en

Jesus and the disciples were speaking of the coming of the prophet Elijah. To the disciples the word coming meant the coming of the soul into manifestation, or being born. The scriptures say that a forerunner having the spirit and power of Elijah the Prophet should precede Jesus’ coming. The disciples were speculating as to whether or not Elijah had been born. Jesus answered them, “‘I say unto you, that Elias [Elijah] is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed....’ Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.”
