IN ANCIENT ORIENT-11 Here are some excerpts also from the Bible; “And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. ”(Ⅱ Kings 2:9) “And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing : nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.”(ibid 2:10) “And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.”(ibid 2:12) “And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Isra-el, and horsemen thereof! And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. ”(ibid 2:12) “And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold there came four chariots out from behind two mountains; (Zechariah 6:1) “In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses,”(ibid 6:2) “And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.”(ibid 6:3) “And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.”(Ⅱ Kings 6:17) “Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirl-wind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us!! for we are spoiled. ”(Jeremiah 4:13)
