Elijah: The Man of God From Tishbe [Hardback]

About This Product

Elijah's mission and typical aspects of his ministry.

Excerpt- There is something very delicate and touching in the last account. Only God can raise the dead, and all men will be raised eventually, some to everlasting life, some to be sentenced to their eternal doom. The resurrection of the nation of Israel is typified in the raising of Jairus' daughter, twelve years of age. It is prophetically stated in Psa. 110, "Thou hast the dew of thy youth."

Within a happy house which stood

On Galilean hill,

A little daughter lived whose feet

And tongue were never still;

No lambkin frolicking beside

A running stream's fair water

Could ever be more gay than she,

That merry little daughter.

One day into that happy house

Came sorrow dark and gray,

The little daughter of the house

Lay dying all the day.

And as the dusk of night came down,

And evening breezes sighed

Through flower and tree

And o'er the sea

The little daughter died.

Then to the sad distracted house

So full of dark and gloom,

Came Jesus Light of Life -and stood

In little daughter's room.

"Lambkin!" He said, "Wake up!"

He said; So clear His word and plain

The little daughter heard, and quick

Her spirit came again.

Her little loving spirit ran

To greet the Voice divine;

The busy tongue began to talk,

The merry eyes to shine;

The mischief in them came again

For every one to see;

The dancing feet began again

To jump and slide with glee;

And all the house was gay again,

With happiness aflame,

Because Lord Jesus came, and called

That little daughter's name.

In Hos. 2:15 we are told that Israel "shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt."

Isa. 62:5 says, "For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee."

This is the glorious end that God has in view for His earthly people, Israel, but only after they have repented in their leaders, as was the case with the last captain and his fifty.
