to life. Gehazi goes and does everything perfect but the boy
stays dead.
ELISHA THE PROPHET
2 KINGS 4:18-37
Gehazi returns to Elisha with the bad news and Elisha goes to the
boy.
Elisha stretches himself out on the dead child a couple times and
prays and the boy comes back to life. Sneezing 7 times.

2 CHRONICLES 21:12-15
Dear King Jehoram,
Thus says the Lord, the God of David your ancestor,
‘Because you do worse things than your dad Jehoshaphat
who was kind of awesome other than the building ships with
Ahab thing, and because you do worse things than Asa who
was also awesome except for the foot disease, but instead
you are like the garbage kings of Israel in the north leading
My people into whoredom and killed all your brothers who
were better than you, BEHOLD plague upon you your
people, children, wives, and possessions Job style, AND you
will receive a nasty case of Colorectal Carcinoma which will
make your bowels fall out your backside one day at a time.
Sincerely,
Elijah
