The disciples had just seen a preview of Christ's coming in power and glory.
But His forerunner had not appeared. Malachi had prophesied that Elijah must come prior to Messiah's arrival (Malachi 4:5-6), so His disciples asked Jesus about this. The Lord agreed that indeed Elijah had to come first as a reformer, but explained that Elijah had already come. Obviously He was referring to John the Baptist.
Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist.
John was not Elijah (John1:21), but had come "in the spirit and power of Elijah" (Luke 1:17).
There is every reason to believe that before Christ's Second coming, a prophet will arise to prepare Israel for the coming King. Whether it will be Elijah personally or someone with a similar ministry is almost impossible to say.
