348. chariots of fire
The great prophet Elijah did not dies, according to 2 Kings 2. He was with his successor, the prophet Elisha, when "suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven" (V.11). Chariots of fire appeared for Elisha in another incident. He was wanted by the king of Aram, who sent a mighty force to capture him. Elisha's servant saw the Aramaean troops coming and was terrified. Elisha said to him, "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And then the Lord opened the servant's eyes and he saw that "the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. " This story is one of th eBible's most vivid reminders that there indeed are angels who protect God's people (2Kings 6:8-18).
