Subject: Why did Elisha have to see Elijah taken |
Bible Note: Scripture ... 2 Ki 2:8-15, 1 Jo 2:20, 27 ... charis ... I am confused. How is chrisma related to this passage (2 Ki 2:8-15)? I see another twist. Elisha asked for Elijah's spirit (Ruwach), the same word used in verse 15 and 16. Verses 8, 13 and 14 mention the cloak ('addereth) (mantle (KJV))is not related "chrisma" as you say. In fact it is a Greek word, found twice 1 Jo 2:20, 27. Its root "chrio", appears 5 times. I hope I have been strong and gentle. Searcher |
