Every Jewish male born is a candidate for the SECOND COMING of
Elijah. For this reason the eight day old child is circumcised

teaches the unborn child the Torah, and just before birth, the angel
touches the child’s lips with his forefinger, and the child forgets
all knowledge of the Torah. But, this would not be the case with the
return of Elijah who will emerge from his mother’s womb with perfect understanding of the Torah, not only in its written form, but in the spoken form known as the Talmud
