Elijah dey humble, so e leave the answer for the hand of Jehovah. If Jehovah let Elisha to see Elijah as E de carry the old prophet comot, then the answer wey God give Elisha na yes. And small time, as the two longtime friends “de stroll de talk together,” one wonderful thing happen!—2 Kings 2:10, 11.
The friendship wey Elijah and Elisha get, really help them to endure hard times
One kind light appear for the sky and the light come de near them small-small. You fit imagine-am? As the strong breeze just begin blow, e de make sound and something wey de shine de move with high speed with the breeze. Them de move go where the two men dey, and na so they separate the men. And maybe this thing wey the men see make them stagger go back and they wonder wetin de happen. The thing wey Elijah and Elisha see be like motor wey de move, na chariot, and e de shine well-well like say they use fire make-am. Elijah know say e time don reach. E go climb enter the chariot, or wetin you think? Bible no tell us. But e go don see himself de go up up for air, inside the strong breeze!

Which place be the next place wey Elijah go? Some religions de teach people say e go heaven go meet God. But no be like that. After many years, Jesus Christ talk say before e come this earth, nobody don go heaven. (John 3:13) So when we read for Bible say “Elijah go heaven for inside strong breeze,” we must ask say, Which heaven? (2 Kings 2:11) When the Bible use the word “heaven,” e no de only talk about the place wey Jehovah de live. “Heaven” still mean where cloud dey and where birds de fly for up for our earth. (Psalm 147:8) Na that heaven, or sky, Elijah go. Then, wetin happen?
So Jehovah just carry or move this dear prophet to one new assignment for the kingdom of Judah. Wetin dey Bible show say Elijah still continue work for there, maybe even after seven years. That time, na wicked King Jehoram de rule Judah. E marry the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, so their wickedness still de work. Jehovah tell Elijah make e write letter of judgement about Jehoram. As Jehovah talk, Jehoram death bring shame. The one wey worse pass na the way the story end. Bible talk say: “Nobody regret-am when e die.”—2 Chronicles 21:12-20.
