Pffffffffffffft!!!
What a pile of utter crock!
If you actually DID read that "book" you claim to have read, you would
understand that it purports that the prophet Elijah was transported to
heaven on a fiery chariot.
"And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both
asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven." 2 Kings 2:11
Hence, because he NEVER DIED, the expectation of his PHYSICAL RETURN prior
to the coming of the Messiah, or a prophet with similar power, and
characteristic warning messages adjunct with powerful miracles, et al of
Elijah - was a well held tradition and expectation amongst the Jewish
populace.
Even prophesied by other oracles:
"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the LORD" Malachi 4:5
The Bible, has never taught the baloney pagan-dogma of reincarnation, but
enunciates the belief of wo/man's RESURRECTION as was historically recorded
also of Christ's very own and evidenced by reliable witnesses after his
resurrection from the tomb.
Biblically, the idea of reincarnation, and wo/man's inherent immortality, in
fact lies with the doctrine of the Serpent Deceiver in Genesis:
"And the serpent said unto the woman, YE SHALL NOT SURELY DIE .." Genesis
3:4 In scripture, this Serpent force is also enunciated as the "Devil" who
desire's to blind wo/mans minds to God with the greatest and subtlest of
deceits.
You could actually make an effort to READ the book ITSELF as you have
"professed", rather than regurgitating misguided authors false diatribes and
their peddled horse-crap theories ABOUT it.
That way, at least, you will be able to come to your OWN conclusions of it's
claims, rather than just parroting others pontificating ABOUT it.
