About this ebook
The kings of Israel and Judah were in serious trouble with the Lord. Twelve years of worshiping Baal and golden calves, listening to Jezebel, and killing the prophets was catching up to them. Their earthly kingdoms were coming to an end, and the Lord would move quickly when he moved. What appeared to be harmless details to them was in fact rebellion in the sight of God.
While the kings served the gods of this world, Elijah and Elisha did not. They were dedicated only to the Word of the Lord, and if the Lord didn’t speak directly to them, they didn’t move at all. And when they did move, it was with the authority of the Lord, resulting in dramatic calling down of fire from heaven, a three-year drought, people raised from the dead, and many other miraculous events. But did Elijah and Elisha take any glory? No, Elisha didn’t even accept Naaman’s token of appreciate – so completely was he relying only on the Lord’s provision.
The lives of Elijah and Elisha, as well as the corrupt lives of the kings, serve as important lessons for us today. In addition, there are many prophecies in 1 and 2 Kings that are now being fulfilled. Your own life will be changed forever if you apply even one truth that the Lord reveals to you in this book.

Reviews for Elijah & Elisha
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book was apparently derived from a series of talks that were later compiled. The book looks at the Biblical books of 1 and 2 Kings and attempts to put the events described there into a historical cultural perspective as well as developing parallels to both events in the New Testament and to events today (or in the near future). Parts were interesting and parts dragged--after a while, I did start wondering how many chapters 2 Kings had.I don't feel qualified to comment on the veracity of the author's claims. Certainly, the pattern of sin, debauchery, repentance has been a cycle since Exodus (if not before).
