The Chariot of Israel: Elijah, Elisha, and the Kingdom of Baal Joseph B. Conti

Great Expectations If ever a man seemed to spring from the page, it must be the prophet Elijah. A spectacular phantom, controlling the clouds, he is master of water and fire. Like Melchizedek, he comes out of nowhere, going out in a blaze of glory. Love him or hate him, he gets our attention. Yet the church of today diminishes him, calling the man of God depressed. They fail to see what Elisha saw, that the whirlwind and chariot testify of his matchless spirit and power. In his excellent work The Chariot of Israel, author Joe Conti gives the reasons why: > Elijah?s dealings with raven and widow foreshadow the age of grace > His three-and-a-half brings Tribulation, with the seven of heaven cut in half > With Moses, Elijah must one day die in the prophet?s slaughterhouse > The fortunes of Israel are inseparably linked to the enigmatic prophet Join with the author as he tackles the themes of the still, small voice, poverty, and the portal to endless supply. Fertility?s fans must meet their end ? the anointing of God will surely prevail, as the champions of the inner chamber defeat the thankless disciples of Baal.
