Matthew 17:11

But *he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and restore all things.

Malachias 4:5.

Shall ... restore all things. According to St. Chrysostom, Theophylactus, and others, these words signify that Elias shall restore all the Jews to the one true faith towards the end of the world; or, according to St. Augustine, he shall strengthen those that shall be found wavering in the persecution of Antichrist.
