Humbly, Elijah left the answer in Jehovah's hands. If Jehovah allowed Elisha to see Elijah as God took the older prophet away, then God's answer to Elisha's request was yes. And before long, as the two longtime friends were walking along, "speaking as they walked," something wonderful happened! - 2 KINGS 2:10, 11.
A strange glow lit up the sky and loomed nearer and nearer. We may imagine a roaring, whooshing sound as a windstorm suddenly arose accompanying a bright object that was hurtling toward the two men, forcing them to part, perhaps to stagger awe. What they saw was a vehicle, a chariot, gleaming as if made of fire. Elijah knew that his time had come. Did he climb aboard? The account does not say. In any case, he felt himself being lifted up, up, high in the air, carried off in the windstorm!
