Near to the end of his life on earth, Elijah remained faithful to God.
He stands up for God against “Baalzebub, the god of Ekron” (2 Kings
1:6,16). He spoke the Word that had been given to him by God (2 Kings
1:3-4). When Elijah was taken by God “to heaven in a windstorm” (2 Kings
2:11), the question was asked by Elisha, “Where is the Lord God of
Elijah?” (2 Kings 2:14). The answer to this question is given in 2 Kings
2:15: “Elijah’s spirit rests on Elisha.” The names of the prophets
change from one generation to the next. The Name of the Lord remains
constant. It is in the Name of the Lord that God’s servants speak and
act.
