THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION

CHAPTER 3

THE SONS OF THE PROPHETS

T. Austin-Sparks

ON quite a number of occasions Elisha's story is associated with the sons of the prophets, so we do well to ask who and what these were. We need to go back to the days of Samuel for our introduction to this particular form of the prophetic ministry. Originally it was the priestly function to instruct the people concerning the law and the ways of God, but in the days of the judges, the priests became so degenerate and their ministry fell to such a low level that it became well-nigh extinct and altogether inadequate. Then Samuel came on the scene. With him there came a transition and also certain reforms. One of these was the institution of these schools of the prophets, and we find references made to one of them as existing at Ramah, with Samuel at its head (1 Samuel 19:20).
