Who was -
Elias -
Elias (Greek for Elijah) is perhaps the most famous of Israel's prophets, for no other is mentioned as often in the New Testament. Elias came from Tishbeh in Gilead, was devoutly religious, and prepared Israel to accept God. After the breakup of King David's Israel in 931 BC, Elias preached against the growing paganism and idol worship under King Ahab and his gentile wife, Jezebel. As Jews turned away from God, Elias called on Israel to repent of its sins. He was given the power to perform miracles (1 Kings 17:1) and caused the rain to stop for three and a half years (James 5:17). Elias ascended into heaven without dying (2 Kings 2:11) and he stood with Moses at Jesus' side during the transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-13). The Old Testament prophesied that Elias would return just before "the day of the Lord" (Malachi 4:5-6). To learn more about Elias see 1 Kings 17:1-20, 1 Kings 18:1-46 and 2 Kings 1-2.
