A Bible study from Vince Baker Ministries, informed by Mantle of Elijah by Vince Baker and Sergie Atams.
Read the Scriptures
Two things are visible at the same time
The enemy force remains present when the servant sees God’s provision. Elisha’s prayer changes what his servant can perceive. The account then shifts from fear to the handling of captured enemies, which makes the later verses essential to understanding the purpose of the deliverance.
Read through to the meal
Elisha leads the blinded force to Samaria. When the king asks whether to kill them, Elisha directs him to feed them and send them back. The account ends with a meal and a release. For discussion, ask why the author includes this response after the spectacular vision and what it shows about the kind of authority Elisha exercises.
