From the end paper on the book: "According to Jewish tradition, Elijah the prophet, an advocate of the poor, was himself homeless. Before he died, he announced that he would return once in every generation disguised as a poor oppressed person, knocking on the door of Jewish homes. How Elijah was treated would determine whether humanity was ready to enter the Messianic age."
