Elijah Taken Up (2 Kings 2)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jul 12, 2025

Was Elijah taken up to heaven or into the sky and transported to a place of retirement? Let's look at 2 Kings 2.

Between A Rock And A Hard Place Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000

At the Red Sea Israel disovered that God was at work, using the created order to achieve his purposes - to rescue his people from an impossible situation and bring about a great victory that would be remembered by the Israelites, and others, for all time.

Israel were afraid. A paralysing fear, so great that all they could do was cry out in terror to God. Do you know what that’s like? When things seem so dark and there’s no way out, nothing you can do? When the doctor tells you that you need heart surgery as soon as possible. When the phone rings and ...read more

He had begun what most consider the Passion Week, the final days leading up to His crucifixion on Calvary’s hill. Most agree these events would have taken place on Monday morning of that ...read more
