Berean Strong's Lexicon Elias: Elijah Original Word: Ἠλίας Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name אֵלִיָּהוּ (Eliyahu) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H452 (אֵלִיָּהוּ, Eliyahu) Usage: The name Elias in the Greek New Testament refers to the Old Testament prophet Elijah. Elijah is a significant figure known for his role as a prophet in Israel during the reign of King Ahab. He is renowned for his zealous defense of the worship of Yahweh against the encroaching worship of Baal. In the New Testament, Elias is often mentioned in the context of prophecy and fulfillment, particularly in relation to John the Baptist and the coming of the Messiah. Cultural and Historical Background: Elijah was a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel during the 9th century BC. His ministry was marked by miraculous events, including the raising of the widow's son, the confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, and his ascension into heaven in a whirlwind. Elijah's life and ministry were characterized by his unwavering commitment to God amidst widespread idolatry. In Jewish tradition, Elijah is expected to return before the coming of the Messiah, a belief that is echoed in the New Testament.
