Biblical Prophets - Bible Study Online

We have now reached a point from within this Sacred Record, were we find that the "Gilgal Prophet Academy" was enjoying a time of increase when it came to their enrollment of new students.

Their numbers in young prophets had grown to the point, to where they needed to expand.

The size of their rooms were becoming to strait for the students overall, to live in. It shouldn't surprise us, when it comes to their growth in enrollment numbers.

After all, with the number of miracles that Elisha was performing, it wouldn't be hard to see how he attracted many who would want to learn and studying under him.

They knew, that to be able to have immediate and personal access to a prophet like Elisha, was definitely an honor and privilege. If the students needed teaching, counseling, or intercessory prayer, Elisha was available for these young prophets to meet with... whenever they needed him to.

Because of their great teaching that they were receiving from Elisha, we find that the students had adopted very humble spirits; and industrious work ethics. This viewpoint is proven by the fact, that instead of them going out and requesting special and expensive materials for their expansion, they were willing to go out as a team and do the work themselves.

Besides, it would had been very hard for them to go to their current government for aid, with Ahab's youngest son Jehoram sitting on throne, who faithfully consulted with his mother Jezebel. Understand that although Jehoram was in power, his mother Jezebel still had a major influence over him.

Now when it came to the prophets, although they were poor, they were still industrious hard working men, who refused to be idle. One day they approached Elisha: "Look the place where we meet with you is too small for us. Let us go to the river Jordan where each of us can get a pole, and let us build a place there for us to live."

Elisha would agree with their suggestion; and because of this agreement, he gave them permission to go out and build for themselves a new place. But the prophets wanted not only Elisha's permission, but they wanted to be instructed and shown guidance from their master, as well: "Won't you please come with your servants?" After hearing their request, Elisha agreed to go with them. So they headed out towards the river Jordan.

A short while later after Elisha and the student prophets arrived at the River Jordan, we find that they began to cut down trees, so that they could gather the necessary wood for their expansion. But something would happen; and all of a sudden while one student was chopping down his tree, the iron axhead he was wielding had become loose and flew off into the River Jordan.

Next we find, that on top of being hard working, industrious, and humble men of little means. They were honest men as well; and the young prophet demonstrated this, by not being concerned with losing the axhead... but we find, that the cutting-tool was borrowed and wasn't his; and because of this, he was more concern with not being able to return the axhead back to the original owner.

"Oh, my lord it was borrowed!" the young prophet would cry out to his master. "Where did the axhead fall?" Elisha asked him. The young prophet took Elisha had showed him where the iron axhead had fallen into the River Jordan. Next, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the river, in the place where the iron axhead had fallen.

Immediately the iron axhead began to float on the top of the water, just like the stick that Elisha had thrown in. "Lift it out," Elisha would tell the young prophet. So he reached out and took hold of it while it was floating on top of the river.
