~

Question 1:  “What ‘Hidden Details’ do only Catholics ‘Think Small’ enough to see in 2 Kings 2:1-14?”

Answer:  “Before The Prophet Elijah died, he and Elisha, ‘stopped at The Jordan River.  Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up and struck the water, which divided, and both crossed over on dry ground.’

~

Question 2:  “What happened after that?”

Answer:  “‘As they walked on conversing, a flaming chariot and flaming horses came between them, and Elijah went up to Heaven in a whirlwind.’

~

Question 3:  “What is the ‘Hidden Detail’?”

Answer:  “They were walking side by side, ‘conversing’ at the exact moment ‘the flaming chariot and horses came between them.’

~

Question 4:   “How did the ‘flaming chariot and horses’ keep from lighting their ‘mantles’ on fire?”

Answer:  “That shows the ‘flaming chariot and horses’ were as big as they needed to carry the ‘essence of Elijah’  to Heaven.  They may have been smaller than this exclamation point:  ! ”

Question 4:  “Why can only Catholics consider those ‘Hidden Details’?”

Answer:  “Only Catholics can ‘Think Small’ enough to see The Power of God to Speak His huge, billion-member, One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Into Being with His short, simple, Church-Creating Word to The First Catholic Pope!  ‘Thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’.

~

The Prophet Elijah’s passing  helps everyone “Think Small”, see “Hidden Details”, get those ‘keys”, and consider:

The Catholic Church is “the flaming chariot” that carries Catholic souls to Heaven.  The “flaming horses” are The Catholic Sacraments!”
