Caesarius of Arles (6th century) on Revelation 14:6-7 and the Future Coming of Elijah

  

(Rev. 14:6-7)And I saw another angel flying through the midst of heaven,” that is, the preaching that was spreading in the midst of the Church. “Having the eternal Gospel, to evangelize it to those who inhabit the earth and say to them: Fear the Lord, etc.” There are some who want this angel who flies in the midst of heaven to be Elijah, and the other angel who follows him, the companion of Elijah, who at that time will preach the Gospel himself. (Caesarius of Arles Commentary on Revelation: A Sixth Century Commentary on the Book of Revelation [trans. John Litteral; Litteral Truth Publishing, n.d.], 46)
