Elijah is supposed to come to turn the hearts of the children to their fathers and the fathers to their children. What's the JW view on that?

Look! I am sending to YOU people E·li´jah the prophet before the coming of the great and fear-inspiring day of Jehovah. And he must turn the heart of fathers back toward sons, and the heart of sons back toward fathers; in order that I may not come and actually strike the earth with a devoting [of it] to destruction." malachi 4; 5-6

, John the Baptizer was the foretold counterpart of Elijah

An angel had told John’s father, Zechariah, that John would have "Elijah’s spirit and power" and would "get ready for Jehovah a prepared people." (Luke 1:17)

lijah’s work not only had a parallel in the activities of John the Baptizer but also has one in those of anointed Christians in this critical period leading up to the coming "day of Jehovah." (2 Timothy 3:1-5) With Elijah’s spirit and power, they are staunch advocates of true worship.
