The 2012 Northern Virginia Conference was on The Mountaintops of Scripture, giving a dispensational overview of the Bible. The goals of this study are three-fold: first, to help the Bible student “think through” the Bible story along the lines of God’s promises and their fulfillment in the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second objective is for us to gain a sense of how to “rightly divide” the Word of God, according to its own inherent pattern. In so doing, we are able to see its unity and minimize supposed contradictions. Finally, this overall grasp of Scripture will enable us to “tell the story” to others, keeping the focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ the Savior.

Elijah #13
God answers prayer in accordance with His will (Jam 5:13-18). To be "righteous" is to have have imputed righteousness from having believed in Christ (Jam 5:16). Our prayers are effective if they are in accordance with His word. Elisha was being faithful in his family position (1Ki 19:19-21). Elisha is introduced as Elijah's replacement and servant (2Ki 3:11). Elijah plays a role in the future (Mal 4:1-6). His work will be reconciliation of families.

Elijah's life shows us the keys to spiritual power: the power of God's Word faith prayer revival and failure.
