Where is Prophet Elijah? Prophet Elijah lived the 9th century BC and was the son of Sobach from Tishbe. Prophet Elijah practiced his prophetic gift for 25 years during the reign of King Ahab from 873 to 854 BC. He foretold the coming of Christ 816 years ago. His faith was so deep that fire fell from the sky three times, causing the Israelites to say in one voice, “Truly the Lord God, the Lord God.” On Mount Horeb he saw God himself, he crossed the Jordan and rode in the chariot of fire to heaven.
Since the prophet’s death is not mentioned in the Old Testament, but the Prophet Elijah ascended up to heaven, one may ask, “Did he die like all people or is he still alive today? And if he is alive where is he? If he is also alive why did he not die and when will he die? How is it confirmed that the prophet did not ascend to heaven and is alive? The answer will not be ours but one can find it in the Bible, the Old Testament and the New Testament.
