Monte Nyman: The "Elias" in D&C 77:9 is Noah

  

This Elias spoken of here is obviously Noah, the one who was given power to restore all things after the flood, and again in the last days. This conclusion is based on: “Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist, and also of another who should come and restore all things, as it is written by the prophets” (JST< Mathew 17:14; italics added). Elias, Noah, and Gabriel are all the same person, or title. (Monte S. Nyman, Doctrine and Covenants Commentary, 2 vols. [Orem, Utah: Granite Publishing & Distribution LLC., 2009], 2:30)
