My Name Is Elisha...
I am graced with the heavy mantle of prophecy, a gift passed down from my master, the revered prophet Elijah.
Dear Devotee of the Divine,
In the annals of time, my name, Elisha, stands not as one of kings and mighty warriors, but as a simple man chosen by God. From 851 BC to 797 BC, I was graced with the heavy mantle of prophecy, a gift passed down from my master, the revered prophet Elijah. Through this letter, I humbly attempt to convey the journey that I embarked upon, rife with miracles and divine interventions, in a tumultuous era for the people of Israel.
The day I was called upon by God through Elijah remains etched in my memory. Plowing the fields, a life of predictable rhythm was interrupted when the mantle of Elijah touched me. Recognizing it as a divine summons, I bid farewell to my old life and followed him. That gesture was symbolic of my acceptance of the Lord’s mission and my unwavering commitment to serve Him.
