1. How do the miracles in this section point ahead to Christ's work on earth?
2. How do Elijah & Elisha seem different from Christ?
3. How does God make his name known among the other nations?

The Bible is filled with themes that carry through from beginning to end. One such theme is destination (or journey, purpose, goal), our church’s focus this year. From Advent through Easter, we invite you through a unique read of the Bible to look for the theme of destination. See what God will teach you through the entirety of his word about destination.
I find it hard to understand this section. Very flashy miracles that seem somewhat like the things Jesus did. But the attitude of the prophets is somewhat disturbing at times-like Elijah saying multiple times: "If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your men." The miracles don't seem to have as significant a reason for being. Clearly points to Jesus as a better prophet, but I'd like to fit it into a better framework for my understanding.
