Elisha has same
power as God yet no one calls him God, (Not even Jesus
pulled of such a Miracle)
Then Elisha
said, "Call her." So he called her, and she stood in the
doorway."About this time next year," Elisha said, "you will hold
a son in your arms." "No, my lord!" she objected. "Please,
man of God, don't mislead your servant!"But the woman became pregnant, and
the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had
told her. (2 kings 4:15-17)
From the above
passage we read that, Elisha prophesied the old woman will bear a child in the
coming year. Elisha was fully aware she will live for that time and
nothing would happen to her and her giving birth was imminent. Now making such
a bold prophecy and then coming true speaks for itself. Now -Let's compare Elisha’s saying
to what Yahweh said to Sarah
The LORD said,
“I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife
shall have a son.” And Sarah was listening at the tent door behind him. (Genesis 18:10)
Now the LORD was
gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had
promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at
the very time God had promised him. (Genesis
21:1-2)
What a similarity
Elisha's work is no different to Yahweh’s, on the other hand Jesus never
prophesied anything like Yahweh. If Jesus is supposed to be co-equal o God, why
then is he less powerful then Elisha?
