Elijah is a name that's used several times in the Bible. Elijah means the Lord is my God.
- Elijah is the son of Jeroboam, who is from the tribe of Benjamin.
- Elijah is the name of two men who were sons of a priest who had married women not of Hebrew descent. They vowed to divorce their wives so they would be eligible to perform the duties of a priest.
- Elijah is a well-known, influential Old Testament prophet. Sometimes he is referenced as Elias. He is known for predicting drought and causing it not to rain for three years and six months. Another of his exploits is when he challenged the prophets that followed Baal to call down fire from heaven. He was instrumental in shaping the character of Elisha because he threw his mantle on him. Although he trusted God, he was still a human; he had flaws. He was afraid of Jezebel to the point that he ran and hid from her. Elijah is the second man resurrected from the earth.
- Elijah is referenced as John the Baptist because his spirit was synonymous with the spirit of Elijah.
