The death of Elisha the prophet
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year. And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.-2 Kings 13:20-21***Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot the disciple and apostle, and Jesus was arrested and crucified. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that some dead saints rose from their tombs, entered Jerusalem and were seen by people in Jerusalem. Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Jesus, and Nicodemus, a Pharisee, prepared the body of Jesus for burial, and placed the body of Jesus in a new tomb, and Jesus was resurrected, seen by over 500 people and returned to heaven. Elijah was an Israelite and a prophet of the Lord God. King Ahab was the 7th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land, the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. During Ahab's 22-year reign, Elijah proclaimed the words of the Lord God to Ahab and the rest of the Israelites in the northern nation. After Ahab was wounded in a battle against the Syrians (Arameans), and died the same evening, Ahaziah, a son born to Ahab and his wife Jezebel, became the 8th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation. After Ahaziah fell and was seriously injured, and eventually died after a 2-year reign, Ahab and Jezebel's son Jehoram (Joram), became the 9th king to rule over all of the Israelites. Meanwhile, Elijah the prophet went up into heaven by a whirlwind and his successor Elisha the prophet began proclaiming the words of the Lord God to the Israelites. King Jehoash (Joash) was the 12th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel. After Jehoash reigned 16 years and died, his son Jeroboam became the 13th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation. During Jeroboam's 41-year reign, Elisha died.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-13:25, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
