Elijah
(Lesson 18)

Introduction:
 

         1. In Hebrews 11:32 "the prophets" are mentioned in connection with their faith.
             a. The prophets served in the past as God's spokesmen (Hebrews 1:1).
             b. God sent many prophets to reveal His Word to the Israelites.
             c. The Israelites were given guidelines for dealing with the prophets in:
                 1) Deuteronomy 13:1-5
                 2) Deuteronomy 18:20-22.
         2. Elijah was one of the greatest prophets.
             a. Elijah "went up by a whirlwind into heaven" (2 Kings 2:11).
             b. Elijah appeared with Moses when Jesus was transfigured (Matthew 17:3).
             c. Elijah demonstrated great faith on several occasions.
         3. This lesson is the 1st of a 3-part study of Elijah's activities that are recorded in 1 Kings 17 - 2 Kings 2.
