The exclusive icon of The Prophet Elijah (Elias) taken up to heaven in a fiery chariot
In the biblical tradition, Elijah - one of the two Old Testament saints never saw death on the ground, but the award of paradise before the arrival of Jesus Christ. For his ardent zeal for the glory of God, the prophet Elijah was taken to heaven alive in a fiery chariot. The prophet Elisha witnessed the ascension of the prophet Elijah to heaven in a chariot of fire, and picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, a gift of the prophetic spirit twice as much than was the prophet Elijah.
