Hilltop View Profile History	Did Elijah send Jehoram King of Judah a letter from heaven? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 01:40 PM People say Elijah went to heaven on a whirlwind. II Kings 2 vs 11 : Elijah is taken up by the whirlwind. II Kings 3 vs 7 : Jehoram (same name as King of Judah) King of Samaria (northern Israel) forms an alliance with Jehoshaphat to fight the Moabites. They consult Elisha because he has taken over for Elijah. II Chron 21 vs 1 : Jehoshaphat dies and his son Jehoram takes over. He's a bad boy, so Elijah sends him a letter and tells him he's gonna die. This is clear proof that the letter came after the whirlwind incident. Did the letter come from God's heaven? Or was Elijah just taken to a different place but still near enough to send a letter. Since Jesus said no man has ascended to heaven but he who came from heaven and Paul writes Jesus dwells in unapproachable light whom no man has seen or can see, I think we can conclude that Elijah was still on earth.

Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 05:08 PM Hilltop, I am not real happy with you, first you post the wrong verse then say you have proof. I just went to a number of sources and Bibles looking for this proof as soon as I figured out the right verse. There is no proof that Elijah's ministry did Not overlap Jehoram's rein as King. The Bible says Elijah was taken to heaven, what's that to you? I don't see why you have a problem with it, he didn't ascend to heaven, he was 'taken' to heaven. Just adjust your paradigm to fit the Bible. Post Reply

Hilltop View Profile History	Did Elijah send Jehoram King of Judah a letter from heaven? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 06:51 PM Jehoshaphat died and his son Jehoram reigned for 8 years ( 2 Chron 21 vs 5). Jehoshaphat and the king of Israel (another Jehoram)consulted with Elisha. This had to be after the whirlwind incident. Jehoram, king of Judah received a letter from Elijah after Jehoshaphat died, meaning this was also some years after the whirlwind incident.The letter said Jehoram would suffer and die.He suffered for 2 years before he died. Seems pretty cut and dried. It's there for every one to look at. Not attempting to deceive any one. It's all there for the whole world to see. Post Reply

I didn't post a scripture number for the actual letter. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to find it. It's all there. Don't know why you can't understand it , it looks pretty straightforward to me.

Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 07:17 PM Yeah, it is all there for the whole world to see: 2 Kings 2:15-17 "The angel of the LORD said to Elijah.....Elijah went down to the king (Ahaziah). He told the king.....you will certianly die! So he died,...Joram succeeded him as king IN THE SECOND YEAR OF JEHORAM son of Jehoshaphat king of Judea." Post Reply
Hilltop View Profile History	Did Elijah send Jehoram King of Judah a letter from heaven? Posted : 12 Apr, 2011 08:03 PM One of us is definitely having trouble reading our bible. In my bible 2 Kings 2 15-17 says (15) Now when the sons of the prophet who were from Jerichosaw him they said ect... Vs 16 Then they said to him ect vs 17 But when they urged him ect. I don't see anything about an angel of the Lord. Post Reply
