Pamphlet #4268
We often read about the Lord's space ships here in this little black book.
My
Hi-lite: 2
Kings 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked,
that, behold, there appeared a chariot of
fire, and horses of fire, and parted them
both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it,
and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot
of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he
saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in
two pieces.
Twice, here in 2 Kings. Yes, in chapter 6 also.
2 Kings 6:1 ¶And the
sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell
with thee is too strait for us.
2 Let us go, we pray thee,
unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place
there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 And one said, Be content,
I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 So he went with them.
And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 But as one was felling
a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas,
master! for it was borrowed.
6 And the man of God said,
Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and
cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 Therefore said he, Take
it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
8 ¶Then the king
of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying,
In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 And the man of God sent
unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place;
for thither the Syrians are come down.
10 And the king of Israel
sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and
saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Therefore the heart
of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his
servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the
king of Israel?
12 And one of his servants
said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel,
telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
13 ¶And he said,
Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told
him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots,
and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 And when the servant
of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an
host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And
his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 And he answered,
Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 And
Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may
see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young
man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain
was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 And when they came
down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people,
I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according
to the word of Elisha.
19 And Elisha said unto
them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will
bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
20 And
it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD,
open
the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes,
and they saw; and, behold, they were in the
midst of Samaria.
21 And the king of Israel
said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall
I smite them?
22 And he answered, Thou
shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive
with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that
they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 And he prepared great
provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away,
and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into
the land of Israel.
