Elijah Goes Up to Heaven in a Whirlwind

Elijah set out on his final journey before being taken up to heaven, and Elisha was determined to follow him. They came to the Jordan River, where Elijah struck the water with his cloak. The river parted, and they crossed on dry ground. On the other side, Elijah asked Elisha what he wanted. Elisha asked for a double portion of his spirit so that he could continue helping people. A chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them, and Elijah went up in a whirlwind as his cloak fell. Elisha picked up the cloak, parted the Jordan again, and bravely began a new journey.
