Elijah, or Elias

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    What a wonderful lesson this week! In studying about Elijah, I learned that he also goes by Elias. In the KJV of the Bible, Elias is the name used in translations from the Greek.

    In the Glossary of Science and Health, page 585:

    “ELIAS. Prophecy; spiritual evidence opposed to material sense; Christian Science, with which can be discerned the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold; the basis of immortality.
    “Elias try shall first come and restore all things.” (Matthew xvii. 11.)”

    This definition has helped me understand the lesson better.
