Chariots of fire
: "Then Elijah took his mantle, and rolled it up, and struck the water, and the water was parted to the one side and to the other, till the two of them could go over on dry ground. When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "I pray you, let me inherit a double share of your spirit." And he said, "You have asked a hard thing; yet, if you see me as I am being taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if you do not see me, it shall not be so." And as they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha saw it and he cried, "My father, my father! the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw him no more." (2 Kings 2:8-12 RSV)

*Elijah the Prophet (
from Wikipedia) :
Elijah
(
Hebrew
:
?????,
Eliyahu
;
Arabic
:?????,
Ilyas
), whose name (
El
-i
Jahu
) means "
Yahweh
is God,"
[

]
was a
prophet
in
Israel
in the
9th century BC
. He appears in the
Hebrew Bible
,
Talmud
,
Mishnah
,
New Testament
, and the
Qur'an
. According to the
Books of Kings
, Elijah
raised the dead
, brought fire down from the
sky
, and
ascended
into
heaven
in a whirlwind (accompanied by chariots, not in one).
[

]
In the
Book of Malachi
, Elijah's return is prophesied "before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord,"
[
4
]
making him a harbinger of the
Messiah
and the
eschaton
in various faiths that revere the Hebrew Bible.
In Judaism, Elijah's name is invoked at the weekly
Havdalah
ritual that marks the end of
Shabbat
, and Elijah is invoked in other Jewish customs, among them the
Passover seder
and the
Brit milah
(ritual circumcision). He appears in numerous stories and references in the
aggadah
and
rabbinic literature
, including the
Babylonian Talmud
.
In Christianity, the
New Testament
describes how both
Jesus
and
John the Baptist
are compared with Elijah, and on some occasions, thought by some to be manifestations of Elijah, and Elijah appears with
Moses
during the
Transfiguration of Jesus
.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
believes Elijah returned in 1836 to visit
Joseph Smith
and
Oliver Cowdery
, and the
Bahá'í Faith
believes Elijah returned in 1844 in
Shiraz
,
Iran
, as the
Báb
.
Elijah is also a figure in various folkloric traditions. In
Serbia
and
Bulgaria
, he is known as "Elijah the Thunderer" and in
folklore
is held responsible for summer
storms
,
hail
,
rain
,
thunder
and
dew
.
**Elijah's Cave
is nestled at the base of Cape Carmel in Haifa, israel. An important shrine to many religions, the chapel includes the very cave in which the Hebrew prophet Elijah is believed to have lived and taught.
Many important events in the life of the Prophet Elijah (9th century BC) are said to have happened in this revered cave: he lived and meditated here before defeating the pagan prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel; he hid here when fleeing the wrath of King Ahab and his wife, Jezebel; and Elijah established his school here upon his return from exile.
The cave is sacred to Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Druze, all of whom venerate the prophet Elijah. There was a mosque here until 1948. Tradition also has it that the Holy Family (Mary, Joseph and Jesus) found shelter in this cave for a night on their return from Egypt.
Elijah in Jewish observance
Elijah's chair
At Jewish
circumcision
ceremonies, a chair is set aside for the use of the prophet Elijah. Elijah is said to be a
witness
at all circumcisions when the sign of the
covenant
is placed upon the body of the child. This custom stems from the incident at
Mount Horeb
(
1 Kings 19
): Elijah had arrived at Mount Horeb after the demonstration of Yahweh’s presence and power on
Mount Carmel
. (
1 Kings 18
) God asks Elijah to explain his arrival, and Elijah replies: “I have been very jealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the people of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thy altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away” (
1 Kings 19:10
). According to Rabbinic tradition, Elijah's words were patently untrue (
1 Kings 18:4
and
1 Kings 19:18
), and since Elijah accused Israel of failing to uphold the covenant, God would require Elijah to be present at every covenant of circumcision.

Elijah's cup
See also:
Passover Seder
In the
Talmudic literature
, Elijah would visit
rabbis
to help solve particularly difficult legal problems. Malachi had cited Elijah as the harbinger of the
eschaton
. Thus, when confronted with reconciling impossibly conflicting laws or rituals, the rabbis would set aside any decision “until Elijah comes.”
[
30
]
One such decision was whether the
Passover seder
required four or five cups of wine. Each serving of wine corresponds to one of the "four expressions of redemption" in the
Book of Exodus
:
"I am the Lord, and
I will bring you out
from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and
I will deliver you
from their bondage, and
I will redeem you
with an out-stretched arm and with great acts of judgment, and
I will take you
for my people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians" (
Exodus 6:6-7
).
The next verse, "And
I will bring you
into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; I will give it to you for a possession. I am the Lord." (
Exodus 6:8
) was not fulfilled until the generation following the Passover story, and the rabbis could not decide whether this verse counted as part of the Passover celebration (thus deserving of another serving of wine). Thus, a cup was left for the arrival of Elijah.
In practice, the fifth cup has come to be seen as a celebration of future redemption. Today, a place is reserved at the seder table and a cup of wine is placed there for Elijah. During the seder, the door of the house is opened and Elijah is invited in. Traditionally, the cup is viewed as Elijah’s and is used for no other purpose.

Havdalah
See also:
Havdalah
Havdalah
is the ceremony that concludes the
Sabbath Day
(Saturday evening in Jewish tradition). As part of the concluding
hymn
, an appeal is made to God that Elijah will come during the following week. “Elijah the Prophet, Elijah the Tishbite. Let him come quickly, in our day with the messiah, the son of David.”
