To the previous list here is another series of identical comparisons between what Elijah did according to Kings and what the Jews will examine as related from the gospel stories:
8) BothElijah and Christ pondered in the wilderness 40 days and forty nights
1 Kings 19:8 And he arose,and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days andforty nights unto Horeb the mount of God
Matthew 4:2 And when he hadfasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
9) BothElijah and Christ walked on across the water
2 Kings 2:8 And Elijah tookhis mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they weredivided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground
Matthew 14:25 And in thefourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea
10)Both Elijah and Christ let a person follow them across the water:
2 Kings 2:14 And he took themantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where isthe LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they partedhither and thither: and Elisha went over
Matthew 14:29 And he said,Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water togo to Jesus.
11)Both Elijah and Christ wrote only one thing, a letter, to people on Earth AFTERthey had ascended:
2 Chronicles 21:12 And therecame a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD Godof David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphatthy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
Revelation 1:1 The Revelationof Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants thingswhich must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel untohis servant John:
12)Both Elijah and Christ appointed a successor, Elisha, by Elijah, and Peter, byChrist:
2 Kings 2:9 And it came topass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall dofor thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let adouble portion of thy spirit be upon me
Matthew 16:18 And I say alsounto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; andthe gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
13) Both Elijah and Christ gave a successor the power to raise the dead:
2 Kings 8:5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he hadrestored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he hadrestored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazisaid, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisharestored to life
Acts 9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed;and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: andwhen she saw Peter, she sat up
14) Both Elijah and Christ. gave a successor the power to heal:
2 Kings 5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and washin Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shaltbe clean
Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as Ihave give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk
Add to this the fact that at the Passover seders, even today, the Jews always set out a special 5th Cup of Wine, now called the Elijah Cup.
This cup sits there awaiting the return of Elijah.
This seems clearly to be that Holy Chalice that was used for the eucharist.
