Prophet

“Elijah came upon Elisha and threw his cloak over him.  Immediately Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah as his attendant.” (cf 1 Kgs 19:19-21). Elisha was filled with the spirit of Elijah; among the many signs he performed, he cured Naaman of leprosy and raised a dead child to life.

The prophet Elijah appears in Scripture (1 Kings 17–19 and 2 Kings 1–2) as a man of God who lived always in his presence and fought zealously for the worship of the one true God. He defended God's law in a solemn contest on Mount Carmel, and afterwards was given on Mount Horeb an intimate experience of the living God.
