Elisha’s background as a farmer likely played a significant role in shaping his work as a prophet. Coming from an agricultural background would have given him a deep understanding of the land, seasons, and the importance of labor and patience. This experience may have cultivated in him a strong work ethic, humility, and an appreciation for the provision of God. He underwent a profound transition, from farmer to faithful prophet. And this foreshadows another important transition, that from carpenter to Christ.
The fact that Jesus was identified as a carpenter holds significance in understanding his earthly life and ministry. It speaks to his humble origins and the common, working-class background from which he came. It also demonstrates that Jesus could relate to people from various walks of life and engage in the practical realities of daily labor.
