1 | Why did Elisha have to see Elijah taken | 2 Kin 2:9 | prophet ezra brown | 33745 | ||
You say that Elijah was leaving it up to God yet that is not what the word says in verse 10 Elijah say simply it shall be so unto thee. That is a declaration with condition nothing more. | ||||||
2 | Why did Elisha have to see Elijah taken | 2 Kin 2:9 | Robert Nicholson | 33752 | ||
Prophet: V. 10 Elijah told Elisha that his request would be answered one way or the other "If thou see me when I am taken up from thee, it shall be so to thee; but if not, it shall not be so. We find in V. 16 that Elisha did see Elijah being taken up in the Chariot. Although the answer to his request could be yes or no, God answered yes when we see that he entrusted Elisha to be heir to Elijah's prophetic office. I think it is implied that Elijah sense the spiritual discernment of Elisha, and yet it was not up to him to grant the request in either way. |
