The Three Men In The Bible That Never Died.

Three people in the Bible that never died number one Elijah during one of the worst periods of Israel God called Elijah in those times Israel had one of the worst kings and his name was Ahab Kings covers more of his life than the majority of the Kings themselves despite the fact that there is no book written in his honor his encounter with bals prophets or Mount Carmel made him most famous but Elijah on the other hand represented a different kind of dominion he had no connections to either the political establishment or the Royal Family he had the ability to tell the truth to Earthly power without being co-opted or corrupted Elijah was a bold person who spoke up for the truth no matter who was in charge he represented a totally different Kingdom with a very different objective Elijah seemed to have reached the Pinnacle of life's adventures heroic almost beyond belief yet humble of heart but he was about to outdo them all he was about to avoid death Elijah's deathless departure places him in the scarce category of deathless departures although we are never told when or how God did this it is clear from the context that he informed Elijah of his impending departure God revealed it to the sons of the prophets as well as

Elisha the old prophets close friend and divinely chosen successor then Elijah turns to his friend and asks what can I do for you before I go before the Lord takes me from this Earth two kings 2 verse 11 Amplified Bible as they continued along and talked Behold a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared suddenly and separated the two of them and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind that's fantastic they were walking together and talking Elijah was not preaching or prophecying at the time it was just the two close friends walking and talking together that must have been a fantastic moment a chariot of fire and Horses of fire appeared and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind the Bible says just like that he was up to heaven in a whirlwind in an instant two kings 2 verses 12 to 15 Amplified Bible Elisha saw it and cried out my father my father The Chariot of Israel and its Horsemen and he no longer saw Elijah then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces in grief Elijah's no death contract suddenly went into effect nothing of God dies when a man or woman of God dies we tend to forget this Elisha is a prime example and God always has a plan consider this he has had his men and women in every era to carry on his work throughout the ages God has never been frustrated wondering what will my people do now that he's gone now that he's not with them anymore our Creator God is all-powerful and he is never caught short on supplies Elisha was taken aback and startled for a brief moment but this did not last long he reached down and picked up the prophet's cloak recalling Elijah's words he crossed back over the Jordan claiming the power there was now his and began his own prophetic Ministry from that point forward
