ELIJAH GOES TO HEAVEN
A Chariot of Fire
Elijah’s work on earth was almost done. This was the great day when the Lord would take him to heaven in a whirlwind, for the Lord had revealed this to him. Elijah also knew this would not happen until he had passed Bethel and Jericho and had crossed the Jordan River.
Elijah had allowed a new prophet named Elisha to walk along with him. At every city they visited, Elijah urged Elisha to stay while he continued on. But each time Elisha replied, “I will not leave you.” He was determined to go on with Elijah until God took him to heaven.
After leaving Jericho the two men walked about five miles to the Jordan River. Fifty curious young prophets from Jericho followed them at a distance. When they came to the banks of the Jordan, Elijah folded his cloak and struck the water. It divided instantly, and they walked across on dry ground. Then Elijah asked, “What shall I do for you before I’m taken away?”
“Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me,” answered Elisha.
Elijah said, “You have asked a hard thing. Yet if you see me when I am taken from you, you will receive what you desire. If not, then you will not receive it.”
Suddenly, while they were talking, fiery horses and a chariot of fire drove between Elijah and Elisha and separated them. A whirlwind picked up Elijah and carried him into heaven.
When Elisha saw what was happening, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” Elisha knew that when Elijah left the earth, the Israelites had lost a man of more value and power than many horses and chariots. Now he could no longer see Elijah.
Elisha picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah. He struck the water of the Jordan, and it immediately parted as before.
Then the fifty prophets who had been waiting for Elisha came and bowed before him. They said, “The spirit of Elijah now rests on Elisha.”
2 Kings 2
Caption: Elisha watches Elijah being taken from heaven.
Parents: I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness. (2 Timothy 4:7-8a)
Children: 1. What did Elisha ask for?
2. How did Elijah go to heaven?
3. What did Elisha use to part the water?
