The "Elijah is the LORD" heresy.
I came across an article, "IS JESUS THE LAST TO COME,OR HE SPOKE OF ANOTHER. THE TEACHINGS OF BISHOP DAVID HILL/THE LORD ELIJAH. by one Dawn Whinfield of Georgetown Guyana - that teaches that Elijah is LORD. (https://www.facebook.com/dawn.whinfield/)
In part, the article reads:
=====
=====
"Elias is he [sic] Greek spelling for ELIJAH. The word ELIJAH mean Eli – God –Jah. Eli- is – Jah....
"ELIJAH is God, could he have saved Jesus. ELIJAH is Jehovah, but by this name he was not known to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."
After copious quotes of Scriptures (which does not impress me at all because the Devil can quote much better than he does!) the author claims, "We only need one scripture to prove that the Lord Elijah is the divine one. Matt 17:11. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come and restore all things."

The whole post is a classic example of the dreaded disease called sound-bytitis. I left a comment but it was deleted promptly.
Let me comment again:
The Elias in the Matt 17:10-12 passage is a reference to John the Baptist who was prophesied by Malachi. You have perverted and twisted a plain Scriptures to suit your imagination.
Matt 17:
10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Didn't you read the plain words in verse 13?
"Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist."
Jesus was speaking of John the Baptist, but you are SO BLIND that you picked this passage to prove that Elijah is Lord and is divine.
Elias is indeed Greek for Elijah. But to say that "the word ELIJAH mean Eli – God –Jah. Eli- is – Jah", it is not only nonsensical but also erroneous.
The name Elijah means "my God is LORD."
"Eli" is "my God" and "jah" is "Jehovah," i.e. LORD.

To your question, "IS JESUS THE LAST TO COME OR HE SPOKE OF ANOTHER", the simple answer is here:
Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
Beware of those who teach fables for sound doctrine!
