2 Kings – Who Am I?
- I left my Father to do the work of God
- I am a prophet
- I followed a great prophet
- Other of God’s prophets followed me.
- Although I am a prophet I never wrote down my words, but others did.
- I am a prolific miracle worker
- I spent time in Samaria.
- I poured water as a servant.
- Water and blood are associated in my work
10. Because of my work, the first born son is sacrificed.
11. I received gifts from others.

14. I performed a miracle involving water.
15. I miraculously made a little bread feed many with some left over.
16. I healed leprosy.
17. I am associated with the Jordan River using it for God’s work.
18. I told others to “go in peace.”
19. One of my servants tried to deceive me involving money.
20. I defied the ability to sink in water.
21. I knew of spiritual armies not of this world.

The answer is Elisha and Jesus.
Is it possible that Elisha is even greater as a prophet than Elijah? More miracles are associated with Elisha than Elijah, plus he asked for and received a “double portion” of Elijah’s spirit (2 Kings 2:9-14).
If Elijah is a type of John the Baptist, then it makes sense that Elisha would be a type of Christ.
