The belief that these two
men, who have never tasted death, are reserved for the last times to be precursors of the
Second Advent was practically unanimous among the Fathers, which belief they base on
several texts of Scripture. (Concerning Elijah see Malachi 4:5-6; Ecclesiasticus 48:10;
Matthew 17:11; concerning Enoch see Ecclesiasticus 44:16.)
