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 #14

Elisha gets a double portion of Elijah's effectiveness (2Ki 2:9-15). Elijah confronts Ahab for killing Naboth to take his vineyard (1Ki 21:1-29). Elijah illustrates the difficulty in the life of a believer. A prophet was to take a stand against evil. God's plan elevated a prophet over a king -- spiritual over political. Elijah believed the word of the Lord enough to die for it. Ahab could have killed him. Ahab is as guilty as his wife. Ahab repented, but the Lord followed through on the manner of the deaths of Ahab and Jezebel. Elijah confronts Ahaziah when he seeks guidance from an idol (2Ki 1:1-4, 1Co 10:20). Ahaziah sends men to get Elijah three times (2Ki 1:5-15). The third captain humbled himself and was spared and Elijah confirms God's word about Ahaziah (2Ki 1:15-17). Elijah fulfilled his purpose. He bought time for people. Elisha and Elijah goes to the cities of the schools of the prophets before the chariot of fire comes to get Elijah (2Ki 2:1-15).

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