In Matthew 17, the Lord Jesus told the disciples that Elijah and John the Baptist were linked:

"10 And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

11 Jesus answered and said to them, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things.

12 "But I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands."

13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist."

Strong's Hebrew word 452 = Elijah

Strong's Greek word 452 = Annas

First appearance of Strong's 452g = this verse:

Luke 3:2

"Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness."

Correct! Strong's matching word to 452h Elijah places the reader in context with John the Baptist, the forerunner, who came in the spirit of Elijah.

Jesus is Lord.
