∙ 12y agoElijah was one of the most memorable prophets of the Old Testament, having stood in opposition to Israel's (the Northern Kingdom) King Ahab and his wife Jezebel. Among his accomplishments was the proclamation of a famine and a drought which lasted several years, the raising of a child from the dead, the defeat of the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and parting the waters of the Jordan River.
Elijah is also one of two people in The Bible who did not die. The first being Enoch. Gen. 5:23 - 24 reads, "23So Enoch's life lasted 365 years. 24Enoch walked with God and then he was not there, because God took him."
The rapture of Elijah is recorded in 2 Kings 2. 2:11-12 reads, "11As they [Elijah and Elisha] continued walking and talking, a chariot of fire with horses of fire suddenly appeared and separated the two of them. Then Elijah went up into heaven in the whirlwind. 12As Elisha watched, he kept crying out, "My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!" Then he never saw Elijah again. He took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces."
