Part 4/4 of the series on reincarnation. Now comes the key passage: when Peter, James and John descended the mountain with Jesus after witnessing Jesus' transfiguration and the appearance of Moses and Elijah, they asked the Lord, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah had to come first?"
Jesus turned to them and said, "Elijah has already come, and they did not acknowledge him, but did with him all that they wanted." Then Matthew mentions that the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist." (Matthew 17:9-13)
John was beheaded by Herod. John had been imprisoned for rebuking Herod over his illicit marriage to Herodias. Salome, Herodias' daughter, danced before Herod and he promised to give her whatever she would ask for. Urged to do so by her mother, she asked for the head of John the Baptist on a platter. (Matthew 14:1-11; Mark 6:14-28).
In this way, Jesus revealed to his disciples that John the Baptist was the reincarnation of the prophet Elijah. And Jesus said that "among those born of women, no one has risen greater than John the Baptist." (Matthew 11:11).
John the Baptist was truly the loftiest man ever born of women. Like Jesus, Saint Germain and Mary, Elijah ascended to heaven, to God. But the extraordinary difference between Elijah and almost all the others who made their ascension is that he is one of the very few who balanced 100 percent karma, made their ascension And then reincarnated!
Don't let anyone tell you that they made their ascension and then came back into a physical body. That does not normally happen. It happens maybe once every 2,500 years or not at all.
Why did the ascended master Elijah reappear on the Galilean scene, reincarnated as John the Baptist? To prepare the way for Jesus, the avatar of the Piscean Age. John was the one the prophet Isaiah had spoken of as, "the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make straight his paths.'" (Matthew 3:3; Mark 1:2,3; Luke 3:3,4; Isaiah 40:3).
The prophet Malachi ended the Old Testament with a prophecy about the coming of Elijah: "Behold, I send you the prophet Elijah before the great and formidable day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers back to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with the ban." (Malachi 4:5,6).
