This name appears in the New Testament, where Elijah is referenced in the context of his prophetic ministry and his anticipated return. Usage: Elijah is a proper noun used as a masculine name. It refers to the prophet Elijah, a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known for his role as a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of King Ahab. Context: Elijah is one of the most prominent prophets in the Old Testament, known for his zealous advocacy for the worship of Yahweh over the Canaanite deity Baal. His story is primarily found in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Elijah's ministry is marked by several miraculous events, including the raising of the widow's son (1 Kings 17:22), the contest on Mount Carmel where he called down fire from heaven (1 Kings 18:38), and his ascension into heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kings 2:11). Elijah's life and works are characterized by his unwavering faith in God and his role as a reformer, challenging the idolatry and moral decay of Israel. He is also prophesied to return before the "great and dreadful day of the LORD" (Malachi 4:5), a prophecy that has been interpreted in various ways in Jewish and Christian eschatology. In the New Testament, Elijah appears with Moses during the Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17:3), symbolizing the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.
