A man passing through died and they threw him in a grave.
It was the grave of Elisha.
When the dead man's bones touched the bones of Elisha,
he was raised to new life.
II Kings 13:22
When we read the Bible, the Bible actually reads us.
What stirs in you as you listen?
These prophets dealt with their souls & never let go of God.
Elisha assured King Jehoash to depend on God's Power not his own. With trembling hands over Jehoash's hand, the dying prophet symbolically shoots an arrow out of his window. His dying words leave this king with the hope that Divine Providence holds us in His quiver. "Evil hides itself and does its destructive work slowly, beneath the disguise of necessity, reasonableness, efficiency, pragmatism, even morality, even goodness." 66LL. This is the line of David and God will preserve them and the power of evil will not stop God's purposes. We must recognize and deal with the evil in our own hearts. There is no peace in sin. Is our heart right with God?
