1 Och Elisa talade till den kvinna vilkens son han hade gjort levande, han sade: »Stå upp och drag bort med ditt husfolk och vistas var du kan, ty HERREN har bjudit hungersnöden komma, och den har redan kommit in i landet och skall räcka i sju år.»


Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 1. It is the testimony of Divine Truth, which is the Word, concerning the external church, or concerning the individual in whom that church is, and who has acknowledged the Divine Human by the power of the Word, that he must experience a state of the apparent deprivation of good and truth during which instruction in truth will be very difficult on account of profanation.
