Remember, Elijah later wrote a letter to King Jehoram after he was “taken up”, see II Chron 21:12.

That is not quite what the scripture text says. "Writing" is a noun here, not a verb, and when it was written is not specified, only that it was written and came from Elijah the prophet. A true prophet could foretell the future by the Holy Spirit. Elijah was a true prophet. Elijah could foretell the future by the Holy Spirit.

And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,


Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

A true prophet could foretell the future by the Holy Spirit. Elijah was a true prophet. Elijah could foretell the future by the Holy Spirit.

Let me insert a small highjack here...

Remember the brouhaha a few years ago about the end of the world as 'foretold' by the Mayan calendar?

Why didn't them dudes give a warning about the Spaniards that showed up and wiped their culture out??
