Elijah Was a Prophet
Elijah was a prophet. With God’s help, Elijah performed many miracles. When there was a famine and a woman fed Elijah, he blessed her so that her food never ran out. And God helped Elijah bring the woman’s son back to life. Elijah asked God to set an altar on fire to show people that God was more powerful than idols. Elijah also held the priesthood keys of the sealing power. In 1836 Elijah gave that power to Joseph Smith. This power allows families to be sealed together forever.
