Elijah the Prophet

The Prophet Elijah is considered one of the greatest servants of God to have ever walked the earth. Listen to this Jewish perspective:

As the herald of the messianic age and a recurring figure in Jewish folklore, Elijah's legacy surpasses that of virtually all the other prophets of Israel. Elijah is a biblical prophet and a central figure in Jewish folklore, which is riddled with stories of his roaming the earth, performing miracles, and providing spiritual and physical healing.

Considering his very high esteem, it is incomprehensively incomprehensible that he is such a mystery. In short we don't know very much about him.

Stop and take a moment to ponder on what you really know about him.

Who were his parents?
Where was he born?
What tribe of Israel did he belong to?
Where did he get his authority?
Which priesthood did he hold?
Why was he taken up by the Lord so that he wouldn't die?
What did he do to earn this blessing?
Where was he taken?
Where is he now?
Why was he promised to return to earth before the Lord's return?
