The prophet Elijah was taken into heaven! It was a fitting end to an amazing earthly life. Elijah’s name means, “my God is Yahweh”. We remember him as having one of the most dramatic prophetic ministries in the Bible. Near the end of his ministry, we learn more about the man who would become Elijah’s successor, Elisha. Elisha was called into ministry by God and was
determined to follow Elijah until the very end. When Elijah told him that he would be taken into heaven, Elisha refused to leave him for any reason. It would be God who would separate them, and who would pass the prophetic ministry on to Elisha. 2 Kings 2 informs us of all these interesting events, including an amazing scene with chariots of fire and a whirlwind.
We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways.
