Title: A type of Christ
Post by: nightmare sasuke on July 14, 2006, 11:55:31 PM
"And he said—Thou hast asked a hard thing,—if thou see me when taken from thee, thou shall have it [his spirit], so, but, if not, thou shalt not have it" (2Ki 2:10, Rotherham).

V.S.

"But, I, the truth, am telling you—It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you" (Joh 16:7, Rotherham).

COMPARE

"if thou see me when taken from thee" ... "if I go"

"thou shalt have it" ... "I will send him unto you"

----

Only problem, when Jesus ascended to Heaven, he stayed there, whereas evidence suggests Elijah did not.

If Elijah was merely transported, how did he send a portion of his spirit to Elisha?
