1553 John the Baptist ENT_SAINT_JOHN_BAPTIST reception_of Elijah ENT_ISR_ELIJAH high John the Baptist as the New Testament reception of the returning Elijah figure prophesied in Malachi 4:5; explicitly identified as such in Matthew 11:14, 17:10-12 and Luke 1:17. The Hebrew Bible / Tanakh (primary text; Masoretic Text tradition; reference editions: Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia / Biblia Hebraica Quinta; citations by book, chapter, and verse) SRC_HEBREW_BIBLE reviewed Second Temple Period PER_ISR_SECOND_TEMPLE
1654 Ilyas (Elijah) ENT_ISL_ILYAS reception_of Elijah ENT_ISR_ELIJAH high The Quranic Ilyas is an explicit reception of the Hebrew Elijah: the confrontation with Baal-worshippers (Quran 37:123-132) maps directly onto 1 Kings 18. The name Ilyas is a direct Arabic adaptation of the Hebrew Eliyyahu. The Quranic account is briefer than the Hebrew Bible narrative but the identification is unambiguous. Qur’an SRC_QURAN reviewed Early Islam PER_ISL_EARLY
5075 Elisha ENT_ISR_ELISHA reception_of Elijah ENT_ISR_ELIJAH high 2 Kings 2: Elisha received a double portion of Elijah's spirit and the prophetic mantle.
