| Elisha’s calling things not being as being in vv. 1-7, 8-17, and 42-44 (cf. Rom. 4:17b) was the same thing in principle that the Lord Jesus did when He fed the multitudes in Matt. 14:14-21 and 15:32-39.
2|Kings 4:91| man
| As the man of God, Elisha behaved himself as God’s representative, as the acting God, on the earth (cf. note 352 in 1|Sam. 2). The New Testament believers should be the same (cf. notes 91 in Acts 28 and 111 in 1|Tim. 6).

| Elisha’s resurrecting the dead from death, giving life to the dead (vv. 18-37), is the same as what the Lord Jesus did, both physically and spiritually (Luke 7:11-17; John 11:41-44; 5:25).
