Elijah is God, Christians

 

While reading the life of the Prophet Elijah in the Old Testament, I found things about him that destroy the divinity of Christ and make Elijah a god instead of Christ. We begin, with God’s blessing,
from the evidence of the divinity of Christ among Christians. He has authority over nature and violated its laws without prayer or thanks or any information from the Bible. God listened to him like this:
1- He commanded the sea and it calmed down.
2- He commanded the winds and they calmed down.
3- His title was the Son of God and he said, “I am He.”
4- He gave his disciples authority to perform some miracles
. 5- He ascended to heaven after he died.
6- He sent his spirit and it entered the disciples.

Now let us see what Elijah did as the Old Testament tells us

: 1- Elijah split the water without praying or giving thanks.

2 Kings 2:8

And Elijah took his mantle and wrapped it together and struck the water, and it was divided here and there, and they crossed over.

2 - Elijah had authority over heaven to command it to send down fire and destroy what Elijah wanted to destroy. This happened twice. On the third time, the captain of fifty came and pleaded with Elijah and knelt down before him.

2 Kings 1 :

9 Then he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. So he went up to him and behold, he was sitting on the top of the mountain. 10 Then Elijah answered
and said to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” So fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Then he sent another captain of fifty to him with his fifty. 12 Then Elijah answered and said to him, “O man of God, thus says the king: Make haste and come down.” 13 Then
Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty.” So the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty.
14 Then he sent a third captain of fifty and his fifty. Then the third captain of fifty came up and knelt before Elijah and besought him, saying, “O man of God, let my life and the lives of these fifty of your servants
be precious in your sight. 14 Behold, fire came down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty and their two fifties. Now therefore, please let my life be precious in your sight.”

3- His title was the man of God , and he said, “I am he.”

1 Kings 13:14

And he followed the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak, and said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “I am he.”

4- He gave his disciple Elisha the authority to divide the water through his garment .

2 Kings 2:14

Then he took Elijah's mantle that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" And he struck the water again, and it was divided this way and that, and Elisha passed over.
5- Elijah ascended into heaven without death

touching him 2 Kings 2:11 And it came to pass
, while they were still going on and talking, that suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them. So Elijah went up into heaven by a whirlwind.

6 - He sent his spirit, and it entered his disciple Elisha.

2 Kings 2:

9 And when they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask me, what shall I do for you before I am taken from you?” And Elisha said, “Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
10 But he said, “You have asked too hard a question. If you see me taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be.”
11 And while they were still going on and talking, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire came between them, and Elijah went up into heaven by a whirlwind.
15 And when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha.” And they came to meet him and bowed down to him to the ground.

Thus we see that Elijah performed miracles like Christ and did not thank or pray, but rather he deserved divinity more than him because

1- He did not die
2- The captain of fifty supplicated to him .
2 Kings 1:13
Then he returned and sent a third captain of fifty and his fifty. Then the third captain of fifty went up and came and knelt before Elijah and besought him and said to him, “O man of God, let my life and the lives of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.

3 - He also prevented dew and rain from falling except at his word


in the First Book of Kings 17:1
And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except at my word.”
