Quote:
I think both Fluffballs and Happy Houdan got it right, but you just don't recognize the spelling of the name: Elijah in English = Eliyahu in Hebrew.

James 5:17 CJB
(Complete Jewish Bible)

Eliyahu was only a human being like us; yet he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and no rain fell on the Land for three years and six months.

(referencing I Kings 17)

(referencing I Kings 17)

I am in the book of James 5:17 and it says Elias. In your Complete Jewish Bible is this the same person and I am not knowing that spelling of Elias? I use a King James Bible.

17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

James 5:17

17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

So, my question Ocap is are Elias and Elijah one and the same?

Yes they are I answered my own question to you Elijah, Elias, Eliah are all one in the same. thank you for the education.

there is also a group that thinks that Elijah will be one if the two witnesses in Revelation that stops the rain for 3 1/2 years (Future event) the other might be Moses, I do not know if there opinion is correct
