Who were the characters mentioned in Luke 4 16 through 30 with biblical references?
Persons mentioned in the passage in question: Isaiah - prophet from whose writings Jesus read. Joseph - husband of Mary whom the people presumed to be Jesus' father. Elijah and the widow of Zarephath - see I Kings chapter 17. Elisha and Naaman - see II Kings chapter 5.
Was the prophet Elisha married?
No because he was a prophet and he surrenderd his life to Jesus Christ the son of God
How can Elisha's miracle of healing Naaman be described in the Old Testment and the book itself and the New Testament?
Jesus understood Elisha's healing of Naaman as prefiguring that He Himself would also be sent to other nations. The point of His reference to Elijah and Elisha is that they had been sent to Gentiles, not to Israelites-a hint of His own mission.
What relevance does Naaman's story show in New and Old Testament?
Jesus understood Elisha's healing of Naaman as prefiguring that He Himself would also be sent to other nations. The point of His reference to Elijah and Elisha is that they had been sent to Gentiles, not to Israelites-a hint of His own mission.
How did the lives of Elijah and Elisha prefigure Jesus?
A:There was a holy man, who was elderly, and Elisha prophesied that his wife would conceive and bear a son, to which the wife laughed. This could have been the inspiration for Luke's story of the birth of John the Baptist, as also could the story of Abraham being promised a son when he was a very old man. Mark 1:13 tells of Jesus in the wilderness forty days, ministered to by an angel, just as Elijah was ministered by an angel and in the wilderness forty days, (1 Kings 19:5-7). Matthew and Luke follow the Old Testament story in a subtly different way, taking the angel out of the gospel story and instead having Jesus fast for forty days (in the company of Satan), just as Elijah did after the angel ministered to him. On the other hand, John does not have Jesus go into the wilderness after his baptism.The story of Elisha feeding the hundred men with only twenty loaves of bread not only prefigures Jesus' act of feeding the 5000, but is clearly outperformed by Jesus' miracle. In this instance, MacDonald suggests that the gospel author was influenced by Homer's epics.Elisha healed a leper, Naaman, just as Jesus would later heal lepers.When Samaritans stopped Jesus and his Galilean followers from entering a village (Luke 9:51-53), the disciples James and John said, "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" but Jesus said he would not do so. This is a reversal of Elijah calling down fire from heaven onto his opponents in 2 Kings chapter 1.The Old Testament books say that both Elijah and Elisha could raise the dead, prefiguring the New Testament stories of Jesus raising the dead.Elijah did not die, but was taken bodily up to heaven in a whirlwind, much as Jesus was taken bodily up into heaven (Luke 24:51; Acts 1:9).The lives of Elijah and Elisha are reflected in all the gospels, but particularly so in Luke's accounts in the third gospel and Acts of the Apostles.
Give me an example of a modern day Elijah?
Not sure if there is one. In Jesus' time, John the Baptist was believed to be Elijah because he was the one announcing the coming of the Lord. There are a lot of people today who do this; whether or not they are the true Elijah is up to you.
Why did Elisha die and not Elijah?
It was stated: This is an unanswerable question, since nowhere in the record of both prophets are we told this, nor is it even hinted at. Elisha performed miracles, some of a seemingly greater or more spectacular nature than Elijah. Elijah was noted for his great zeal for the Lord of hosts. However, there is no suggestion that this earned him any kind of reward. Rather it would perhaps be simply said this is God's will and that He has not intended to tell us, nor deemed it necessary for us to know this.I don't agree this is unanswerable. Elijah and Moses had roles as establisher's of God's work and their successors were people who carried out the work done by what was established. The Law - Moses... the principle of repentance - Elijah. So Moses died and was placed into the ground but Elijah left bodily without dying. When Jesus spoke to the on the mount of Transfiguration Jesus was talking about his exit from earth. This would include a bodily death - Moses... and a physical bodily removal - Elijah. of course this was done by resurrection. So Elisha died, 'normally' because the whole idea of having a man bodily in heaven had already been established by Elijah. The fullness of this came when Jesus finished the work on Calvary and encapsulated both lives in his death and ascension.
Did Melchizedeck in the Bible leave earth as Enoch and Elisha?
The bible is silent on this point. There is no reason to suppose that he was taken up alive into heaven as Enoch and Elijah were. He is an Old Testament type (or Picture) of Jesus Christ, who was to come, but nothing offered in scripture to suggest a (rapturing) up to heaven alive, as Enoch and Elijah.
How are Elijah and John the Baptist different from the messiah?
Jesus is God. John the baptist and Elijah are not.
Why was Elijah referred to in the New Testament?
Elijah and Elisha together are a type of Christ. Elijah represents Christ before the cross and Elisha after the cross. Elijah's ministry was to call Israel back to the faith of the Fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He was known for causing it to not rain, and for calling fire from heaven. Elijah represents the law, which we are told is a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. Elishah represents grace.John and Jesus together also are a type of Christ. John represents Elijah and preached repentance to call Israel back to the faith of the fathers. He represents the law which can only convict of sin. Jesus represents grace. "This is Elijah" refers to Jesus and John together. In another place the disciples knew that Jesus was speaking of John, refers to John representing the Elijah half of the picture.Elijah had said there would be no rain until his word. With water as a symbol of the word of God, there was no word from God for four hundred years until John spoke. And in a double fulfillment, Jesus is the Word of God, and he did not begin his ministry until John had spoken.Furthermore, John's costume was designed to remind people of Elijah.There is a second context where he is mentioned and that is at the mount of transfiguration. Moses, Elijah and Christ were together. The reason for this is theme wrapped around the number three. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are revealed through Word, Works and Life. Moses represents the revelation of God through the Word - the Law. Elijah represents the revelation of God through mighty works. And Jesus represents the revelation of God through Life itself, God incarnate. In this theme, we are deaf, blind and lame, but Christ makes us hear, see and walk.The third context is presumed to be in Revelation as one of the two witnesses. In the same way that Elijah and Elisha, John and Jesus, and Jesus himself represent Law and Grace, so the two witnesses will also represent the two edges of the sword, or the Word of God.We know how Jesus represents grace, but how does he also represent the law? His perfect life puts us to shame because he faced the same temptation we do, yet did not sin. By his perfect life he condemns us so that we are without excuse. He is Judge.So we can approach Christ for mercy or for judgment. Elijah is mentioned in the New Testament to remind us that without the mercy of Christ, we face the judgment of Christ.
