Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind with a chariot and horses of fire, and his protégé Elisha picks up his mantle — literally and figuratively.
Elijah and Elisha cross the Jordan together, and Elisha asks for a double portion of Elijah's spirit. As they walk and talk, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appear, and Elijah is taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha picks up Elijah's fallen cloak, strikes the Jordan, and the waters part — confirming that the prophetic mission continues through him.
