Prophets, teenagers and bears, oh my! You may remember that the prophet Elisha did some cool stuff like cleansing nasty water with salt, but he’s also part of (in my opinion) one of the craziest, straight-out-of-an-action-movie scenes in the Bible. Right after the passage where Elisha heals the water, he faces the biggest challenge of his life… teenagers. Elisha is simply walking along the road when suddenly he encounters a group of teens who start teasing him because he’s bald. Mixing overreaction and violence with the creativity of a master artist, Elisha, like some kind of bizarro Dr. Dolittle, calls out two bears who maul 42 of the teenagers. Then he probably looked at the camera and said something like “I can’t bear to be teased” or “I guess there will be 42 fewer people in line for the next Twilight movie.” (Little known fact: OT prophets invented those action movie one-liners.)
