Elisha Mocked on the Road to Bethel

Elisha stands on a hillside road with his prophet’s staff in hand, turning toward a crowd of jeering boys who follow behind him. In the wooded rocks beyond, two bears emerge, connecting the scene to the sobering account after Elijah’s departure when Elisha was mocked on the way to Bethel. The image emphasizes the seriousness of dishonoring the Lord’s prophet and the authority God placed upon Elisha’s ministry. Drawn from 2 Kings 2, the episode is a warning against contempt for God’s word and His appointed messenger, showing that ridicule of holy calling is not treated as harmless rebellion. This artwork is suited for Bible teaching, Old Testament lessons, prophetic ministry themes, and visual studies on Elisha’s early ministry. by Review & Herald Publishing
