When he had been in despair and thought he was the only servant of God left the Lord gave Elijah a prophecy. It is found in 1 Kings 19: 15-17, "And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.' Elijah did not see that prophecy fully fulfilled in his ministry but God still brought the prophecy to pass. It shows that the work does not depend on us but on the Sovereign purpose of a Sovereign God.
