Can You Imagine?

Can you imagine the anticipation of Elijah awaiting the whirlwind to catch him up to Heaven?  

Can you imagine him recalling his life before he leaves, perhaps smiling at the Mt. Carmel Victory (1 Kings 18:17-45). I can, and I can imagine his humility as he remembers the ravens and the poor widow woman feeding him in the desert?

His friend Elisha was with him when it happened.

2 Kings 2:11 . . . . behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

What an exit! Can you imagine?

Can you imagine the dead in Christ rising out of their graves and the living saints flying up with them to meet Jesus in the clouds? Read about it in 1 Thessalonians 4:16,17. I can hardly wait.

But until then my heart will go on singing

Until then with joy I'll carry on

Until the day my eyes behold that city

Until the day God calls me home.
