"That Which Occupies the central and dominant place in what the
Spirit has been pleased to record of the life of Elisha is the
miracles performed by and connected with him. Far more miracles
were wrought by him or were granted in answer to his prayers than
any other of the Old Testament prophets. In fact the narrative of
his history consists of little else than a record of supernatural
acts and events. Nor need this at all surprise us, though it is
strange that so few seem to grasp its implication and significance.
The character of Elisha's mission and ministry was in thorough
keeping with Israel's condition at that time. The very fact that
these miracles were needed indicates the state into which Israel
had fallen. Idolatry had held sway for so long that the true and
living God was no longer known by the nation. Here and there were
individuals who believed in the Lord, but the masses were
worshipers of idols. Therefore by means of drastic interpositions,
by awe-inspiring displays of His power, by supernatural
manifestations of His justice and mercy alike, God forced even the
skeptical to recognize His existence and subscribe to His
supremacy." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian
evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist
and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior
to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult
gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly
rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his
father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse,
Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but
the end thereof are the ways of death, ' which particularly struck
his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.
