48:1	And the prophet Elijah arose like a fire, and his word burned like a torch.

48:3	Ngezwi leNkosi, he closed the heavens, and he brought down fire from heaven three times.
48:4	Ngale ndlela, Elijah was magnified in his wondrous works. So who can say that he is similar to you in glory?
48:9	He was received into a whirlwind of fire, into a swift chariot with fiery horses.
48:10	He is written in the judgments of the times, so as to lessen the wrath of the Lord, to reconcile the heart of the father to the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
48:11	Blessed are those who saw you, and who were adorned with your friendship.
