Hello? This is Open Mind Bible. I remember the hymn I sang since I was young, 'I remember the time when the prophet Elijah went up to heaven in a chariot. ', so I knew the name Elijah well even without reading the Bible. Since Elijah was said to raise the dead, I thought he was a prophet with incredible power. I was also envious of his disciple, Ultra Elisha, who had supernatural powers and went straight to heaven without dying. Elijah in the Bible destroys the false prophets of Baal with the miraculous fire of God, but it is difficult to escape the spiritual betrayal of the Israelites and the anger of King Ahab of Israel and Queen Jezebel, a believer of Baal. Prophet Elijah, who collapses from loneliness and frustration, appeals for death and becomes exhausted. At this time, with the divine intervention of an angel, Elijah goes to Horeb (Mount Sinai), the mountain of God. Elijah receives comfort from God, recovers spiritually, and takes Elisha as his disciple. Elijah and Elisha have their last meeting in the Jordan River, and Elijah leaves Elisha and disappears into a whirlwind. As I read the Bible, I realized that there are many things that are different from what the world knows. I realized that the characters in the Bible are people like us, and that they have worries, frustrations, and mistakes. However, they have their own common secrets. I realized that there are secrets in the Bible that are not shared with just anyone. The Bible tells us many things. I want to hide the Bible from people I don't like and only share it with the people I love the most ^^; However, contrary to our hearts, God gives each of us a calling. I hope that you will receive much grace through the Bible. #Elijah #Elisha #Bible [email protected]
