Hey kids — we've reached the FINALE of the Elijah and Elisha series, and I saved one of the most incredible stories for last. Invisible armies, opened eyes, and a truth that will change the way you see EVERYTHING.
The king of Syria was at war with Israel, setting up secret ambushes to trap the Israelite army. Except every single time, Elisha warned the Israelite king EXACTLY where the trap was.
The Syrian king was LOSING HIS MIND. He demanded, "Which one of you is a spy?!" An officer spoke up: "None of us, my lord. It's Elisha, the prophet in Israel. He knows the words you speak in your BEDROOM."
This story comes from 1 & 2 Kings and is part of the Old Testament.
