Elijah the Prophet is the harbinger of the Redemption. His functions will include: to rectify Israel's behavior, causing them to return to G-d with repentance; to proclaim the imminent coming of Moshiach; to restore the sacred objects from the Holy of Holies of the first Temple, and later hidden before its destruction; and to be involved with the resurrection of the dead. The essential task of Elijah will be to resolve legal disputes and to establish peace in the world, as it says, "He will turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers." (From Mashiach by Rabbi J. I. Schochet).
