I don’t have the Scripture verse reference, but the Bible says (my paraphrase) that it is for man to die once and then be judged. There is no reference to reincarnation that I am aware of in the Bible.A friend of mine would like to know what the Bible says about Reincarnation.
Thank you

A teaching from Dr Scott Hahn and his team.
Jn 1:21 And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Malachi 4:5-6 said that God would send Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord. Some were under the impression that Elijah himself would return from heaven. John denies being Elijah returned from heaven. However, Jesus says John was the Elijah who was to come (Matthew 11:13-14). That is, he comes (as Elisha did) in the spirit and power of Elijah bringing to a close the preparatory prophetic line of which Elijah is the archetype
cf. Lk 1:17 With the spirit and power of Elijah he will go before him, to turn the hearts of parents to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord
The authorities ask if John is “the prophet” because they believed that Moses had prophesied the coming an Ultimate Prophet (of whom the Old Testament prophets were foreshadows) who would appear at the end of the age. Jesus, not John, is “the Prophet.”
Something to think-Beware-and Something to know.
God Bless

- Why would the Jerusalem authorities ask if John was Elijah?
- How can John deny he is Elijah when Jesus says John was the Elijah who was to come?
- What do the authorities mean by asking John if he is “the prophet”?
