Can anyone show me the message that Elijah preached to the people? This should be something to look into since he achieved something that only one other great man of GOD could. He transfigured alive without dying at all.
We see proof of this in Mark 9, where both Moses and Elijah meet with Supreme LORD, who also transfigures on the mountain of olives.
2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
First let us ask the obvious question:
1. How did the Apostles know it was Moses and Elijah? There were no images, no photos, no technology that they could have recognised them by face. And even if they could, they were not mortal anymore; they were in their gloirified state.
2. It was believed before that time, according to what was written that Moses died and was buried. Yet, the Apostles knew that one of them was Moses. For us, we didn't find out until the book of Jude that Moses was not buried.
Jude
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Now that we got the obvious questions out of the way, what is the Gospel, the message that Elijah brought to the people that clearly the people ignored, yet those people died, and he lived forever. Even his witness, Elisha did not get the same testimony.
We see when we read the events of mt Camel, that the people did not trust Elijah, and so because of his love for the people, and for the gospel, he challenged the leader at that time, to gather all the false prophets and prove that their god is real. And then 450 of them were beheaded by Elijah.
How did Elijah live forever, and what was the message he came to preach to the children of the kingdom?
