Ok House of Jacob what you seeing with your very own eye's is prophecy being fulfilled. The Pharisee's, Scribe's and Rabbi's who was put in Moses seat by the Roman's who are of amalek did the same thing these heathen are doing.
Remember this YAH DEALS WITH THE SPIRIT NOT THE FLESH, the pharisee's and scribes was blind and couldnt even understand that, that's why they thought Elijah was going to come back by desending from heaven in his flesh
Malachi 4
4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith YHWH of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith YHWH of hosts.
4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
4:5 Behold, I will send you EliYah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YHWH:
4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse..
So before the Messiyah, Elijah was supposed to come, so they was expecting Elijah to return as he left.
Mark 9:11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that EliYah must first come?
9:12 And he answered and told them, EliYah verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
9:13 But I say unto you, That EliYah is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
Matthew 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that EliYah must first come?
17:11 And Yahushua answered and said unto them, EliYah truly shall first come, and restore all things.
17:12 But I say unto you, That EliYah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Now these Heathens (SCRIBES, PHARISEE'S) didnt understand what Yahushua was saying because they was expecting Elijah to come in the same body from heaven, looking the same as he left.
REMEMBER YAH DEAL WITH THE SPIRIT NOT THE FLESH
so the pharisee's and scribes thought that Elijah was going to come back to earth in a chariot, and they knew the scripture in and out (funny that modern day pharisee One Spliff says the same thing and believe the same thing as they did).
so they didnt believe that John the Baptist was Elijah because physically he didnt float down from heaven, he was a dirty looking man, he was born of a man and women and they seen grew as a adult so he couldnt be elijah.
BUT THESE HEATHEN DONT KNOW YAH OR HIS SCRIPTURE, YAH DEALS WITH THE SPIRIT NOT FLESH AND A PERSON WHEN THEY REINCARNATE THE COME WITH THE SAME SPIRIT BUT BORN AGAIN THROUGH THE WOMB INTO A DIFFERENT BODY .
Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
1:14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of YHWH, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.
1:16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to YHWH their Elohim.
1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of EliYah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for YHWH.
THERE YA GO^^^^^^An Angel told John the Baptist father that his son shall go before him (Yahushua) in the spirit and Power of Eliyah aka Elijah. YAH DEALS WITH THE SPIRIT, ELIJAH SPIRIT WILL BE IN JOHN THE BAPTIST.
Because Elijah will come before the Messiyah, YOU WICKED PHARISEE'S scripture dont lie (one spliff and his man servant beenwize are modern day pharisee's to blind to see the scriptures)
