CHARIOT OF FIRE
2 Kings 2:9-12
9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said
unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away
from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of
thy spirit be upon me. 10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard
thing: [nevertheless], if thou see me [when I am] taken from thee,
it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be [so]. 11
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that,
behold, [there appeared] a chariot of fire, and horses of fire,
and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind
into heaven. 12 And Elisha saw [it], and he cried, My father, my
father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he
saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent
them in two pieces.
