Elijah

One of my greatest reference books is a British series from the 70s called Out of This World. In one article they write about the Israelite prophet Elijah who lived in the 9th Century BCE. (And by the way, BCE can be interpreted as 'Before the Common era' or Before the Christian era' and is now popularly used instead of BC meaning 'Before Christ'.)

Anyways, back to Elijah who was said to raise the death, bring fire down from the sky and who ascended to heaven in a flaming chariot; he is also said to have psychically listened in on the battle plans of the king of Syria.

So much of life is interpretation.
