The story of Elijah the Tishbite and his disciple Elisha (an earlier embodiment of [[Jesus]]) is recorded in the Book of Kings, where Elijah’s ascension is described in this way: “There appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”<ref>2 Kings 2:11.</ref>
La historia de Elías el tisbita y su discípulo Eliseo (una anterior encarnación de Jesús) se encuentra en el libro de Reyes, donde la ascensión de Elías se describe de esta forma: «Un carro de fuego con caballos de fuego apartó a los dos; y Elías subió al cielo en un torbellino»<ref></ref>.


After Elisha witnessed his teacher’s ascension, he took up “the mantle of Elijah that fell from him” and he smote the waters of Jordan. When the waters parted and Elisha went over, the sons of the prophets saw that the spirit of Elijah rested on Elisha. From that time on, Elisha performed many miracles, feats of alchemy that were prophetic of the triumph of his Spirit over matter during his final embodiment as Jesus. The accounts of Elisha healing the waters, multiplying the widow’s oil, opening the womb of the Shunammite and later the raising of her son from the dead, the multiplying of the loaves of barley and the curing of Naaman of leprosy are recorded in the second book of Kings together with other demonstrations of the Law by this “Man of God.”
