1 | Anoint? | 2 Kin 2:9 | charis | 33737 | ||
Dear Searcher, Greetings in the name of Jesus! Peace, my friend. I am confused about your definition of 'anointed.' I was always under the impression that anointed (often with oil) meant 'chosen by God' or 'consecrated to a ministry.' While it is true that men physically did the anointing, the Holy Spirit led the men to do so. In this particular passage and it's context, I get the idea that Elisha was heir to Elijah's ministry of prophet, and that God approved it. If I am mistaken, please teach me the true meaning of 'anoint' and tell me what did happen to Elisha. But, if you are done with this discussion, maybe someone else can enlighten me? :-) In Christ Jesus, charis |

Greetings, charis! I agree with you! The "anointing" did pass from Elijah to Elisha, even though it was not Elijah's place to bestow to Elisha what he had requested.. "2:9 let a double portion of your spirit be upon me. Not a request that Elisha have or do twice as much as Elijah, but a plea that he might be the recognized heir of Elijah in the prophetic office. (The firstborn received a double portion of his father's inheritance, Deut. 21:17.)"

Oh, I see! :-) I've never been one to disrespect another by shortening their User Name without their express permission first. As for the discussion about Elija and Elisha, how about settling it over a nice, quiet game of chess? :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |
