2 Kings 1 - 4

I think it is interesting how so many people of today believe and accept the teachings and miracles of ancient prophets but are not willing to accept the idea of prophets and miracles in our own day. They quickly accept the teachings of dead prophets but give little attention to the counsel of living prophets. Today I read of the prophets Elijah and Elisha. Did Elijah and Elisha really answer -

"...the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty." (Old Testament 2 Kings 1:10)

Did Elijah and Elisha really come to the river jordan -

"And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground." (Old Testament 2 Kings 2:8)

Is it true that as Elisha and Elijah were together -

"...there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 ¶ And Elisha saw it..." (Old Testament 2 Kings 2:11 - 12)

And did Elisha command the widow -

"...Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed." (Old Testament 2 Kings 4:3 - 6)

Did he not promise a woman -

"...About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son." (Old Testament 2 Kings 4:16)

And later after her son had fallen and died -

"...He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes." (Old Testament 2 Kings 4:33 - 35)

And finally, when there was little food for all the people, Elish was given -

"...twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
43 And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD." (Old Testament 2 Kings 4:42 - 44)

Much like the Savior, these prophets provided great miracles. I believe such miracles can and do exist today by living prophets to those of great faith.
