Bible Question:
2 kings 2:1 -14 Why did Elisha have to see Elijah taken up to receive the double annointing [mantle] or portion. Why did Elisha not giving up or leave Elijahs side.[presence] |
Bible Answer: "And when they had gone over, Elijah said to Elisha, Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, I pray you, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." Ezra Brown made the error of saying this is an a double "anointing" ... it is not "mantle" either. Elijah was leaving the matter in the Lord's hands. S |
