As opposed to other deceased biblical characters whose futuristic appearance seems to be either metaphorical or referring to a future offspring of a dynasty, the final prophecy in the last prophet Malachi seems to relate to an actual physical role for Eliyahu in the future. This episode too draws responses related to the question of whether or not Eliyahu died.
