Why would the Lord Choose Elijah to Turn our Hearts? by Bradley J. Kramer at Meridian Magazine – “In addition to these other miracles, Elijah had the distinction of being one of the few prophets in recorded scripture to have raised someone from the dead. In this way too, I feel that those who seek to redeem their dead follow the pattern of Elijah. No, I did not physically raise any of my ancestors from the dead. I do not mean that we raise the dead literally. We resuscitate them imaginatively, in our minds and in our hearts.”
