Gaius Marius Victorinus (290-364) on the then-Future of Old Testament Elijah

Commenting on Rev 14:6, Victorinus offered the following commentary, showing his belief in a then-future coming of Old Testament Elijah ("Elias"):

 

6. “And I saw an angel flying through the midst of heaven.”] The angel flying through the midst of heaven, whom he says that he saw, we have already treated of above, as being the same Elias who anticipates the kingdom of Antichrist in his prophecy. (ANF 7:357)
