Elijah Taken Up In A Whirlwind
As Elijah and Elisha were walking near the Jordan River, an astonishing event separated them. A chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared out of nowhere. In a terrifying display of divine power, the great prophet Elijah was swept up to heaven in a whirlwind, dropping his mantle for Elisha to inherit.
"Then it happened as they were going along and speaking, that behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven."
