1 Kings 17:22 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 17:22

And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah
In prayer, and answered it:

and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived;
this is the first instance of anyone being raised from the dead; this Satan has imitated; hence the many fabulous stories with the Heathens of persons being raised to life after death F11.
