The glorious departure of Elijah really spoke to my heart. In 2 Kings 2, he went to heaven in a whirlwind with chariots and horsemen. Isn't that an awesome sight? As compared to King Ahaziah, who was unfaithful to God and worshiped the god of Baal, he had a miserable death, as prophesied by Elijah in 2 Kings 1. Even on his death bed, King Ahaziah did not repent to God, his heart was hardened.
In Elijah's case, he did not even die, he was taken to heaven in a glorious way. Elijah's life was a true inspiration of obedience and faithfulness to God, we see miracles and powerful manifestation of God's presence in his life. We see the wrath of God towards those like King Ahaziah, who was disobedient to him yet we see how gentle and loving God is towards Elijah.
As believers of Jesus Christ, we will have a glorious departure from this earth. Jesus Christ our Savior is the way to God.
John 14:6 NLT
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.’
