Elijah was one of the most important prophets of Yahweh. Elijah prophesied during the reigns of several kings of Israel or Judah, including King Ahab.
* God did many miracles through Elijah, including raising a dead boy back to life.
* Elijah rebuked King Ahab for worshiping the false god Baal.
* He challenged the prophets of Baal to a test that proved that Yahweh is the only true God.
* At the end of Elijah's life, God miraculously took him up to heaven while he was still alive.
* Hundreds of years later, Elijah, along with Moses, appeared with Jesus on a mountain and they talked together about Jesus' coming suffering and death in Jerusalem.
