In the old Star Trek programs, Captain Kirk was always saying, “Beam me up, Scotty”-and that is sort of what happened with Elijah. He levitated into the air, defied gravity, and ascended into the skies where He disappeared into the clouds. Well, the last and final miracle in the early life and ministry of Jesus Christ was that very thing. He embodies this innate dream we have to be able to levitate into the air, defy gravity, and fly. I haven’t seen the movie, but there have been many social commentaries written on how the world needs a figure like superman, who is sort of a messiah from another world who comes to help and save the human race.

It’s interesting that we’re studying this passage at the very time the new Superman movie has been released. There are four movements or stories in this chapter, and each one of them speaks of a different adventure in our own lives.įirst, there’s an adumbration of the ascension here, showing us that we have a whirlwind of hope. With that in mind, let’s go through this chapter and let me show you the four scenes that make up the story. For this message today, think of Elijah as a type, or at least as a symbol, of Christ and think of Elisha as a type or symbol of you and me and the church overall. We know that Elijah was a type or pre-figuration of John the Baptist, but there are also some remarkable parallels between Elijah and Christ Himself.
I don’t want to arbitrarily turn 2 Kings 2 into an analogy or allegory but I do think there are clear biblical patterns here that border on being “types” of New Testament truth.
It seems to me-and this is the point of my message today-that this Old Testament chapter of 2 Kings 2 gives us a miniaturized depiction of New Testament living. I found that these two men made good roommates, and more I read over this passage, the more I realized how prophetic and predictive it is. About the only thing I had to do was to read and ponder and study this passage from 2 Kings 2 about Elijah and Elijah. But at any rate, I tried to accept my fate with resignation and seek the silver lining. The motel was either under renovation or demolition I couldn’t tell which. I would say it was seedy, but that’d be an insult to plant life everywhere. Instead I was stuck in a Quality Inn that didn’t live up to its name. I was flying on the airline that brags about its friendly skies and I think the skies really would have been friendly if we could have gotten up to them.
This week I was supposed to have a quick in-and-out trip to Denver, but it didn’t work out that way because I was stranded inChicago. He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah…. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them apart. Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Look at 2Kings 2:11-13a:Īs they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

The story of the transfer of power from Elijah to Elisha is full of incredible lessons for us, and it’s told in 2 Kings 2. Elijah came first and after a lifetime of exciting ministry he was snatched away into heaven, and his follower Elisha took over the work.
In the history of ancient Israel and during the times of the monarchs, two great miracle-working prophets lived in the northern kingdom of Israel-Elijah and Elisha.

The last thing left to do is to loot the basement (per the collectibles guide).We’ve begun a series of sermons entitled “Miracle Man” on the life and times of the prophet Elisha, one of the heroes of the Old Testament. Loot hid body to find the reason for the bar's name and a few bonecharms. He'll reappear in his room surrounded by a few of his Howlers (if you've left any conscious). When you've taken him out once, he'll turn into a swarm of rats (just like he did in the Black Market). This is your clue to finding the combination to the Jindosh Lock without siding with either Paolo or Vice Overseer Bryne.Īll that's left for you to do in the Crone's Hand is to neutralize Paolo. To the left of the Howler's table, you'll find a locked room with a note on the door. Doing so will bring the remaining Howlers, which you can use to your advantage by linking them and taking them out en masse. If Paolo is down in the courtyard - and he should be, but if he's not, he's probably in the basement and will be back shortly - this is as good a time as any to take him out (the first time). Look over the balcony to find a few more Howlers to link to him. There's a guard enjoying his breakfast and a nice book at a table right outside. There's a balcony outside that overlooks the Crone's Hand's main courtyard. There are only a few more Howlers to handle now.
