Passage

1 Kings 19

• Glossary Term

  Mantle

  Elijah's mantle cast on Elisha (1 Kings 19:19), signaling prophetic succession.

  1KI.19.19-21

• Doctrine

  Prophetic Succession

  Elijah casting his mantle on Elisha signals a real transfer of prophetic office and calling, not a symbolic gesture without substance.

  1KI.19.19-21

• Glossary Term

  Remnant

  The 7,000 who did not bow to Baal (1 Kings 19:18); standard term.

  1KI.19.14-18

• Doctrine

  Remnant Theology

  God's revelation to Elijah that 7,000 have not bowed to Baal counters Elijah's despairing belief that he alone remains faithful; God's faithful remnant is often hidden, not absent.

  1KI.19.14-18

• Glossary Term

  Still Small Voice

  1 Kings 19:12's paradoxical phrase (a 'sound' of stillness) is genuinely hard to render; whichever rendering is chosen, the point -- God speaks to Elijah not through wind, earthquake, or fire, but quietly -- must not be lost or flattened into 'silence' alone.

  1KI.19.9-13

• Doctrine

  The Still Small Voice

  God's revelation to Elijah at Horeb comes not through wind, earthquake, or fire but a quiet voice; the contrast with the dramatic Carmel fire (God can also speak gently, not only in spectacle) must be preserved in the rendering chosen.
