• {Compare} The Lord’s words to His disciples. They would have liked, like Elijah, to have brought down fire from heaven upon the Samaritans because they did not receive their Master. “Ye know not of what spirit ye are,” He told them, severely censuring them (Luke 9:51-56). In effect, at this moment He was the rejected Christ steadfastly setting His face to go to Jerusalem to be offered up as a burnt offering. Was this the moment to judge, when in grace He was Himself to be slain and for our salvation to endure the fire of God’s judgment? (“Elijah and Ahaziah: 2 Kings 1” by H.L. Rossier)
• But in this passage Elijah is not only a figure of Christ; he is also a type of the faithful, suffering remnant in the end times. Elijah “must come” in the person of those witnesses in the Revelation, of whom it is said: “If any one wills to injure them, fire goes out of their mouth, and devours their enemies. And if any one wills to injure them, thus must he be killed” (Rev. 11:5). (“Elijah and Ahaziah: 2 Kings 1” by H.L. Rossier)
• “A man of God.” “Is it because there is not a God in Israel?” he had said to Ahaziah. God was vindicating His character in the presence of apostasy and had chosen His prophet to be the powerful witness to this. (“Elijah and Ahaziah: 2 Kings 1” by H.L. Rossier)
• While Elijah was yet walking in the midst of Israel, fire from heaven, the judgment of God, was at his disposal, not to destroy sinners but to consume the burnt offering. A sacrifice had then answered for the people, and God’s judgment had fallen upon the victim in order to bring about the deliverance of Israel. From now on this hour of grace was past. Elijah, seated on high, would cause fire to fall from heaven upon his enemies—upon this king who, forgetting all fear, had the audacity to give orders to God! (“Elijah and Ahaziah: 2 Kings 1” by H.L. Rossier)
