Day 201..."Elijah does not die on his way to Heaven...Hidden mystery of the Kingdom"

Elijah does not die, as he is taken in a whirlwind to Heaven..."as they still went on and talked, behold, chariots of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it and he cried, “My father, my father! The chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” And he (Elisha) saw him no more." This story offers a beautiful sequence for leadership transfer, as the mantle of leadership is also passed. Elijah and Enoch from Genesis 5 hold the distinctions of never dying. Isaiah, chapter four, is very short and offers insight into the bleak present condition but hope is coming "the Lord creating over the whole city of Zion." We will see more of this in the later chapters of Isaiah. The parable of the leaven of "the yeast" offers the simple truth that the Kingdom is hidden but will become apparent to all, as bread rising...reading the Bible can have this kind of impact!
