  Speaker 1: Let us pray. As it came to pass, as they
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: still went on and talked, that behold, there appeared a
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: chariot of fire and horses of fire, and parted them
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: both asunder, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: 2 Kings 2.11 Lord, as you place powerful men and
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: women in my life as mentors, I have made the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: decision that I will not stop pursuing them even when
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: it's convenient to leave and be on my own. I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: declare that I will not leave or part ways until
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: you tell me to do so, God. When other people
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in my field try to discourage me and dissuade me
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: from holding fast to the process, I will ignore them
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: because I am not moved by external voices but by
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: internal convictions. Because proximity determines my ability, I will stay
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: close until I receive a double portion of the wisdom
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and knowledge they possess. I praise you, Lord, because in
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: your goodness, you also give me the opportunity to go
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: above and beyond those who guide me, that I can
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: be blessed to be a blessing to those coming after me.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, amen. Thank you for praying with me today.

• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Chariots of Fire In our last story, we learned about
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Ahaziah's short reign as king over Israel. He fell from
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: the top of his upper room and injured himself beyond repair.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: He sought the healing and guidance of the Philistine gods,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: but was instead met with Elijah's rebuke and God's justice.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: In this story, we witness Elijah's departure from this earth
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: through the eyes of his student, Elisha. Elisha witnesses the
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: glory and profound power of God as he takes his
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: master up in a chariot of fire. Inspired by the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: book of 2 Kings.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Hello, I'm Pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. In our last time together,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: we learned about Ahaziah, who, like his father Ahab, looked
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: to help and hope in foreign gods and false deities.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: His reign and his life was cut short because he
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: did not seek the one true God. Elijah had delivered
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: God's message of judgment to Ahaziah as the king lay
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: helplessly in bed after a great fall. Today we'll hear
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: how Elijah's time on earth comes to an end. This
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: great man of God, the one who served God so
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: faithfully and forcefully, would be taken up before the eyes
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: of his successor, Elisha. It is an incredible display of
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: God's supernatural power that will profoundly impact Elisha as he
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: takes on the mantle of the prophet of God to
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: be the man of God to God's people. So let's
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: listen to today's reading.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: The sun was high in the sky. A few clouds
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: danced around it to the late summer breeze, creating brief
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: moments of shade for the two travelers below. The earth
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: and sky seemed to be in perfect harmony, both dancing
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: and swaying to the wind. On the trail surrounded by
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: lilies coming from Gilgal walked Elijah and Elisha. The old
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and grizzled prophet had traveled everywhere with his young apprentice.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: The two of them had experienced many miracles together, Elijah
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: had taught Elisha the ways of God. He spoke of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the Lord's truth, justice, goodness, and mercy. Elisha was able
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to observe the way Elijah cared for the people of Israel.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: He gave his entire life to them, ministering and healing
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: when necessary. He had also watched Elijah speak truth to power.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: He confronted kings and queens despite his fears. Elisha admired
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: his old teacher. He prayed to God, He would become
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: just as good a man as he. No, he prayed
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he would be better. He prayed for faithfulness like his
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: and a strong sense of justice and truth. The two
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of them strolled along in silence. The grass next to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: the trail swayed gracefully all throughout the valley. Elijah turned
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: his face towards the sun and breathed in the sweet
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: summer air. He turned to his young student and said,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: The Lord has told me to go to Bethel. You
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: should remain here. Elisha smiled and shook his head. He
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: had a feeling as to what the Lord was about
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to do. No, he responded plainly. As the Lord lives,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I will not leave your side. So the two of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: them changed course to the holy ground of Bethel, where
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Jacob once prayed many years ago. On their way to Bethel,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: a group of prophets passed them on the road. They
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: had anticipated Elisha's arrival, for the Lord had spoken to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: them as well. They walked beside the two men in silence. However,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: one turned to Elisha and whispered, Do you know that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the Lord is going to take your master away today?
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Elisha looked at the prophet intently and put his hand
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: on his shoulder. He gave a quick smile and said, Yes.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: He then turned to look at his master walking ahead
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of him, but he will not speak of it today.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: The men had arrived at Bethel, and Elisha stayed for
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a few moments to speak to the Lord. Elisha stood
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: at a distance. He was always curious as to how
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the Lord spoke to Elisha. Was it how he spoke
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to him? Was it through whispers or feelings? Did he
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: see an angel before him? These were things Elisha would
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: never know. Elisha turned to Elisha and said, There was
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: a weariness in Elisha's voice. It was almost as if
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: he had run away from his age for years and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it was finally gaining on him. Elisha smiled again and said, No,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: I think I will go with you. As the Lord lives,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I shall not leave your side. So the two set
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: off again towards Jericho. When they arrived, Elisha departed again
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to pray. A group of prophets from the area walked
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: up to Elisha, who was standing at a distance from
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: his master. They brought him in and whispered, Did you
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: know that the Lord is going to take Elijah away today?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: This time there was a slight heaviness in Elisha's chest
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: as he replied. Of course I know, he said somberly,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: but do not speak of it. Elisha finished praying and
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: came back to Elisha. It is time for me to
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: go to the Jordan River. You should stay here. It
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: was a silly command, for Elisha knew that his young
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: student would not leave his side. The two of them
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: traveled a short while to the Jordan River. A group
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of prophets followed them at a distance, curious as to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: when Elijah would pass away. The two men stopped beside
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the Jordan. The river flowed heavily. Tumbling rocks could be
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: heard from beneath the waters. Elijah removed his cloak and
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: folded it into a whip. He swung his hips and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: struck the water with his cloak. Elisha watched as his
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: master's cloak caused the flowing river to split before them.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: The river divided and the two of them were able
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to cross on dry ground. Hundreds of memories flowed in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Elisha's head as they crossed. Memories of stories told for generations.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Stories of God splitting the Red Sea for Moses and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: the Jordan River for Joshua. Was his master as faithful
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: as they were? Did he hold the same favor of God?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: The two of them walked along the path and Elisha
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: could sense Elisha's mind racing. He smiled and said, Tell me,
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: my son, what can I do for you before I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: am taken away? Elisha's eyes lit up. He did his
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: best to withhold his boyish grin. I want a double
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: share of what the Lord has given you. I want
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: to be your successor and see greater things done for God.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Elisha was pleased at his request. Elisha did not just
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: want to be as faithful as Elisha. He wanted to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: be more faithful. He wanted a double portion of God's
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Spirit upon him. You have asked for a great and
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: difficult thing, Elisha replied frankly. However, if you see how
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I am taken away, then your request will definitely be granted,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: for God will show his glory to those he wishes
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to use. If you do not witness my departure, then
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: you will not receive any of his spirit. The two
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: walked and talked for a few moments. Elisha watched his
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: old master walk purposefully forward. Then, suddenly, the clouds opened
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: up like fortified gates. Blinding light emanated from the sky,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: only it was not light from the sun. Elisha could
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: hear trumpets sounding like thunder, and he watched as a
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: chariot of fire descended violently from the clouds. The chariot
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: was consumed with fire and drawn by horses of flames.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Elisha could not see who was riding the chariot, but
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: he could see it descending as if the air was
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: thick enough to ride on. The chariot blew in between
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: the two men, flinging Elisha back onto the ground. He
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: watched as his master was wrapped up in a whirlwind.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: The bright light swirled around the old prophet in the
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: chariot of fire like a tornado. As the winds blew
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: violently and the light burned brightly, Elisha could see a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: smile worn on the face of his master, Elijah. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: can see it, Elisha yelled to his beloved master. Tears
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: filled his eyes as he watched the beauty of God
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: unfolding before him. My father, I can see you. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: can see the chariots of Israel. Then, just as quickly
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: as it came, the whirlwind left with Elisha wrapped up
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: in it. All was calm and still. Elisha remained on
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the floor in awe of what had just happened. Elisha's
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: face was covered in tears and dust. Elisha looked down
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: at his clothes to realize he had torn his shirt
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: in amazement. He stumbled to his feet and walked towards
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the cloak Elijah had left when taken up. Silently, Elisha
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: picked up the cloak, folded it, and headed down to
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the river. Had God given him his spirit? Elisha lifted
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: up the cloak, swung his hips, and struck the water
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: as his master did just moments before. Elisha watched as
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the rivers opened up before him. A content smile slid
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: across his face. A group of prophets saw this from
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a distance and exclaimed, Elijah's spirit is upon Elisha. So
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: they ran to him and bowed before him. The reverence
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: made Elisha uncomfortable, for he knew it was the spirit
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: of God. The men were frantic in saying, Do you
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: want us to look for your master? Perhaps the Lord
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: brought him to another place. Elisha shook his head and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: said no. He knew his master was gone with God. However,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the prophets insisted and still looked. For days they searched
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and found nothing. A few days later, the town of
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Jericho sent leaders to visit Elisha. They came to him
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: with a dire problem they needed the Lord's aid in.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Our town is beautiful, but our water is toxic and
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: causing disease, they said. Our crops are poisoned and our
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: children are sickened. Elisha considered their problem carefully and prayed
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: to the Lord for wisdom. He had them bring him
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: a bowl of salt. Then he went out to the
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: spring that supplied the town with water. He bent down
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: and threw the salt into the water. He whispered slightly
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: to the Lord and then turned to the leaders and said,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: The Lord has purified your water. Neither death or infertility
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: will plague this city. As Elijah was leaving, a group
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: of boys began mocking him. They threw insults and stones
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: his way. Go home, baldy, they shouted, mocking his bald head.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Forty-two boys bombarded Elisha with evil laughter and prideful spitting.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Elisha did not speak. He only looked at them intensely. Then,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: in a terrifying turn of events, two bears ran towards
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: them from the woods. Their growls drowned out the screaming
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: of all forty-two boys. Their claws tore them limb from limb,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: and they feasted on the mocking teenagers. Elisha walked away
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: from the thrashing and went back to Mount Carmel.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: As we read God's Word today, we find Elijah and
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: his apprentice, Elijah, walking together on the road from Gilgal.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: It had been more than six years since the Lord
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: had led Elijah to the young man, Elisha, and since
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: that day the two had walked side by side, closely together.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Elijah knew that God had plans for Elisha, and the
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: job that Elisha was going to take on was no
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: small task. So the seasoned prophet poured his life into
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: his apprentice. mentoring him in how to walk with God,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: how to listen to God's voice, how to be a
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: man of God. Surely, as they walked along the road,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: he continued to train him and teach him, especially now
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: as Elijah knew that his time was ending. Because that
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: day was different, it was time for a changing of
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: the guard. Elijah first tells Elisha that God had called
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: him to Bethel. But Elisha knows this day is different also,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: and he insists he won't leave his master's side. Elisha
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: wanted to make the most of the time he had
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: left with his mentor to learn all that he could
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: and to enjoy his presence while he was still able.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I think many of us can relate to this kind
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: of sentiment, the desire to make the most of what
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: time we have with a very special person in our life,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: whether it is a spouse or a child or a friend.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: So both men went to Bethel together. The prophets in
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Bethel asked Elisha if he knew God was going to
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: take Elijah away that day. He said he did, but
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: he did not want to speak of it. God then
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: led Elijah to Jericho. Again, he asked Elisha to stay behind,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: but Elisha refused to part with his master. So they
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: went together, and once again, the prophets asked Elisha if
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: he knew God was about to take Elijah. He said yes,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: but to keep quiet. Why did he want them to
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: keep quiet? Not because it was some big secret, as
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: it seemed God had made known to many of the
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: prophets to whom he spoke. But Elisha said this because
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: he didn't want to get caught up in talking about
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: what was going to happen, that he missed what actually
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: did happen. His mind was focused on watching and waiting
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: for what God would do. How often do we get
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: our attention pulled away by concerns or anticipation of things
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: to come, even worry, and we miss what God is
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: doing right in front of us? Always focus on today
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: and maximizing every day of your life. And so when
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Elijah tells Elisha to stay there while he goes to
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: the Jordan River, his answer is obvious. No, he will
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: walk with him. The events at the Jordan take us
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: back to so many moments when God's glory and power
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: were on display throughout Jewish history. Supernatural power. When Elijah
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: strikes the water with his cloak and the river parts,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: It was a reminder that God is the same God
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: who parted the sea for Moses and the very same
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: river for Joshua. After they crossed on dry land, Elijah
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: asked his apprentice something. We read his question and Elisha's
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: response in 2 Kings 2.9. When they had crossed, Elijah
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Please,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: let there be a double portion of your spirit upon me.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: What a wonderful request. Elisha knew that he had impossible
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: tasks in front of him and big shoes to fill.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And his question shows his humility and his maturity and
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: his selflessness. He wasn't just asking this for himself, for
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: his own glory or power. He wanted to be fully
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: prepared to be a man of God, to speak God's word,
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: to minister to the people just as Elijah had. So
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: he asked for more, more of God's power, more of
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: God's blessings. a double portion of the Spirit of God.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Elijah told him this is a heavy request. He knew
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: what the life of a prophet meant, and it often
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: meant fierce opposition from wicked people. Notice he did not
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: give him a yes or no because he knew this
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: was not his to grant, but God gives spiritual power.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: So he told Elisha to watch what was about to happen.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: And if he could see him being taken up, translated
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: up into heaven, He would know God would grant his request.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Elisha then saw an amazing sight. It was spectacular. It
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: was supernatural. Chariots of fire and a whirlwind descending from heaven. Fire,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: which had marked so much of Elijah's ministry, was now
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: being used to usher him into the presence of the Lord,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: the one he had faithfully served. This was a rapture.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: This was a translation into heaven. Elijah did not die
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: a physical death. Elisha saw it all and knew God
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: had granted his request. It was a moment filled with
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: wonder and amazement, but also sorrow and grief, for now
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: the man of God, his mentor, a man who has
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: been like a father to him, is gone. We close
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: the passage with Elisha immediately seeing God's power working in him,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: first in the parting of the Jordan once again, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: then as he brought about healing to Jericho's poisoned waters. Yes,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: God's hand was on Elisha, and he would do great
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: things in the name of the Lord, pointing the Lord's
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: people towards hope and righteousness and faith, and God would
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: bless him abundantly. Dear Lord, the God of Elijah and Elisha,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: we thank you for this extreme example of faith and perseverance.
• 18:53
