Elisha was the second disciple to enter the room. He began his story with a sentence “ Have you ever felt insignificant, overlooked, and underappreciated?” (Maxwell, 2014, p. 19). Elisha proceeds to tell his story. He spoke of a brief memory about the day, Elijah brought fire down on Mount Carmel. According to Elisha, it was the best day ever for God, Elijah and Israel (as cited in John C. Maxwell, 2014,p.19). After that day his life changed for the better or so he thought. Elijah chose Elisha, to succeed him as prophet. In his mind his farming days were over. Elisha had prepared himself to do great things. Only to realize nothing had changed and that he traded his life as a farmer to become a common servant of God for ten years, which made him feel insignificant. Elisha was not aware at the time “ Whatever you’re doing for God is important to God. For that reason,” Elisha admonishes, “give your best wherever God puts you” (Maxwell, 2014, pp. 19-20).

Ismaele intervenes to save Fenena, and Nabucco orders the destruction of the Temple while Zaccaria and the Israelites curse Ismaele as a

I have decided to write my Old Testament essay on the mysterious prophet Elijah. According to the bible, in the book of Kings, Elijah was not only a devoted prophet of God, but he also served as a worker who lived in the northern kingdom of Israel, under King Ahab’s reign. Elijah is remembered for his remarkable faith and devotion to God. In writing this essay, I will tell the story of one the many adventures that occurred in Elijah 's lifetime. Of course, there are so many alterations and rewritten versions of the bible, that I have no idea what to believe. No one truly knows what happened, for everyone who could have, died long ago. Either way, all the different versions of the story seem to have the same basic outcome. In telling you this, I will try to incorporate the information that is mentioned throughout the book, “The Old Testament Story, Ninth Edition” (by John H. Tullock and Mark McEntire) and some of what I have been taught myself over my twenty-eight years of life.

2 Kings 4:42-44 tells the story of a man who comes to Elisha with bread during a

Elisha, the son of Shaphat, was a prophet and Elijah’s student and successor. Elisha was a farmer in the northern kingdom of Israel and was plowing with 12 oxen when Elijah came to him. He was called to follow Elijah and followed him without saying goodbye to his family. He roasted the oxen he made with the fire from the yoke and gave it to the people, there was no going back. When the Lord was about to take Elijah up in a whirlwind, he told Elisha to stay and not follow him any longer. Instead, Elisha was persistent and would not leave Elijah’s side. This showed Elisha’s faithfulness and unwavering loyalty and trust in God’s plan. Then Elijah was taken up into heaven in a fiery chariot (Elisha, n.d.). Elisha picked up Elijah's mantle and struck it on the waters
