ELISHA'S BONES

STRANGEST THINGS OF THE BIBLE

ELISHA DIED AND WAS BURIED

"Now bands of Moabites used to invade the

 land in the spring of the year." 

 

Quickly, they threw the other man in Elisha's

 grave. Once the body touched Elisha's bones,

 the dead man stood to his feet.

"As a man was being buried, a marauding

 band was seen and the man was thrown into

 the grave of Elisha; as soon as the man

 touched the bones of Elisha, he came to life

 and stood on his feet.
