Subject: The Miracles of Elisha |
Bible Note: Dear Makarios, You stated,"* Parts the Jordan River - 2 Kings 2:13-14 * Makes Jericho spring drinkable - 2 Kings 2:19-22 * Sends bears to punish irreverent youths - 2 Kings 2:23-25 * Floods ditches to confuse Moabites - 2 Kings 3:1-27 * Multiplies widow's oil - 2 Kings 4:1-7 * Shunammite woman bears a son - 2 Kings 4:8-17 * Resurrects Shunammite's son - 2 Kings 4:18-37 * Purifies poisoned stew - 2 Kings 4:38-44 * Heals Naaman's leprosy - 2 Kings 5:1-14 * Gehazi struck with leprosy - 2 Kings 5:15-27 * Floats lost axhead - 2 Kings 6:1-7 * Gives special sight to the king's messenger - 2 Kings 6:16-17 * Blinds the Aramean army - 2 Kings 6:8-23 * His bones resurrect a dead man - 2 Kings 13:20-21 [Taken from the Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition, 1995, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Th.D., Ph.D., pg. 586] - Makarios" Then you state," * Strike men with blindness - 2 Kings 6:18 " This is a double post. Striking men with blindness(2Kings 6:18) is the same as blinding the aramean army(2Kings 6:8-23) as you already stated. Elijah did 8 miracles and Elisha was given a double portion of Elijah's spirit and performed sixteen miracles not seventeen. I am confused why you brought up prime numbers? What is a prime number and what does this have to do with Elijah and Elisha? Isn't a double portion like saying 8 times 2 equals 16? The Bible says double portion, not double portion plus one.
