I certainly didn't sleep through your post
Very well thought out and I think I followed you through it.
I have one very important question for you, if I may?
How was the fulfilment of the Return of Elijah fulfilled before the coming of the Messiah?
According to Jewish Mishnah, Elijah's Return will "settle all disputes, reconcile all discrepancies in the Holy books, and bring peace in the world". How was this prophecy fulfilled with Elijah's return?
