In 2 Kings chapter 2, we find the amazing story of the prophet Elijah being taken up to heaven in a whirlwind.

Elisha then picked up Elijah's cloak and continued his ministry. This story teaches us the power of mentoring and passing on knowledge to the next generation, and the importance of living a life that honors God.
