The Story of Elisha - The Prophet Who Resurrected a Dead man Even After He Had Died

He watched Elijah ascend to heaven. He received a double portion of his spirit. And then he performed a miracle so strange that even Bible scholars pause when they read it.In this episode, I tell the story of Elisha — the prophet who raised a dead man back to life, even after the man had already been buried. The miracle in 2 Kings 13:20-21 is one of the most bizarre in scripture: as Moabite raiders approached, a group of Israelites panicked and threw a dead body into Elisha's tomb. When the corpse touched Elisha's bones, the dead man came to life and stood on his feet. But this was not Elisha's only resurrection. He also raised the son of the Shunammite woman (2 Kings 4:32-37), a boy who had died of heatstroke in his mother's arms. From parting the Jordan River to making an ax head float, from cursing mocking youths to feeding a hundred men with twenty loaves, Elisha's ministry foreshadowed Jesus in ways most Christians never notice. Based on scripture, Jewish tradition, and prophetic typology, this episode will change how you see the double portion. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play — because Elisha's bones still speak.
