1 | Holy Spirit prior to Pentecost?? | Heb 7:17 | DocTrinsograce | 231621 | ||
Clearly there was a difference between the ordinary prophets, like the fifty, and prophets like Elijah. Hence, Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown have this to say about the double portion: "This request was not, as is commonly supposed, for the power of working miracles exceeding the magnitude and number of his master's, nor does it mean a higher endowment of the prophetic spirit; for Elisha was neither superior to, nor perhaps equally great with, his predecessor. But the phrase, 'a double portion,' was applied to the first-born [De 21:17], and therefore Elisha's request was, simply, to be heir to the prophetic office and gifts of his master." Whatever a double portion might mean, Elijah and Elisha should be on our list. | ||||||
