THE DEATH OF JEZEBEL.
When the time came for Elijah's work on earth to cease, he took Elisha with him to a place called Gilgal. They crossed the River Jordan in a manner as wonderful as that of the passage of the Israelites into Canaan, many years before. Elijah struck the waters with his mantle and they parted, leaving; a pathway over which the two walked in safety.
"ELIJAH STRUCK THE WATERS WITH HIS MANTLE."
There, while these two men of God were talking together, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared, and parted them. Elijah was swept up into the chariot, and was carried away into heaven. But before he disappeared, his mantle fell from him. Elisha took it up, and with it received the power of performing miracles which God had given to Elijah, the man who did not die.
"ELIJAH WAS SWEPT UP INTO THE CHARIOT."
