"See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction." – Mal.4:5-6
The First Elijah was a Jew, namely John the Baptist. He was commissioned to announce the Suffering Christ. (Mat.17:12)
The Second Elijah is the "Lawless One" (2The.2:1-12), implying that he will be a Christian (see 1 Cor.9:21). His commission is to reunite Christianity, from the Roman Catholic Church right down to the Uniting Reformed Church in South Africa, working from the bottom up to the top.
