1 | drbloor, where is your Biblical support? | 2 Chr 21:12 | drbloor | 171694 | ||
Dear Tim, As we can tell from 2 Ki 3:11 that Elisha had taken on the mantle of Elijah while Jehoshaphat was alive, we know that Elijah made his disappearance during the time of the co-regency, and before the murders of Jehorams brothers. 2 Chr 21 indicates that the letter arrived after Jehoram had ruled in Jerusalem for 6 years after his fathers death. So whilst I agree that Elijah sent the letter personally, I firmly believe that his chariot ride must have taken place at least 6 years previously. Yrs, Dr. B. |

Greetings Dr. B! It took me a second to figure out where you were getting the six years. :-) We know that he reigned (alone at least) for 8 years. We know that he was ill for two years (2 Chron. 21:19). However, 2 Chron. 21:18 does not necessarily indicate that the illness took place at the same time as the letter was received. So, I don't think we can pinpoint the letter precisouly. I've got to run! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
