Join Christopher Enoch for a deep historical-critical study of 2 Kings Chapter 1 through Chapter 2:13. In this session, we strip away later theological sanitization to uncover the raw history of the text. We examine the political rebellion of Moab confirmed by the Mesha Stele , the linguistic insult hidden in the name "Beelzebub" (Lord of the Flies) , and the moral complexity of Elijah calling down fire upon the captains of fifty.

This episode also tackles major chronological contradictions regarding King Joram , explores the geographical "un-conquest" of Elijah’s final journey , and clarifies the true meaning of Elisha’s request for a "double portion". Finally, we investigate the New Testament connection between Elijah’s ascension and John the Baptist.
