Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Nearly lost in the Drama of Elijah's spectacular departure are the actions of Elisha upon witnessing it. He tears his own garment in two, and then takes on the Mantle of the Prophet. This tearing of the garment is very significant in Bible language. In previous studies, we saw Saul tearing a garment and Samuel prophesying that Saul would lose his kingdom. David tore his garment upon learning of the death of Absalom, and others whom he loved. To this day, a symbolic tearing of a garment (Usually a thick ribbon) is an important part of Jewish Funeral Tradition.

Was Elisha mourning the "death" of his friend? Or was he symbolizing the death of his own person and taking on New Life as a Prophet of God?

For our New Testament believers, it is interesting to note, that when Jesus died , His garment was NOT torn, but was gambled over. The veil in the Temple, however, was rent from top to bottom, opening the entry to the Holy of Holies. The rending of the garment is a recurring theme in the "seamless" narrative of the Scriptures!

Come and pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

praying. Amen.

The fact that they gambled for Jesus’ garment indicates it was “fine”. Certainly argues against His earthly poverty.
