Elijah comes as a test. There is no punishment, there is just no reward.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Matthew 16:24

American Standard Version

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Mark 9:11 - 13

11 And they asked him, “Why do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?”

12 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah does come first, and restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? 13 But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they wished, just as it is written about him.”
